skornsteinParticipantHello! I love your theme. Really minimal and sleek looking.
I’m trying to simplify to post meta data to remove the calendar, author, and categories icons and just say:
“Posted on [date] by [author] in [category list]”
Is this possible?
Thanks for your help.
Best,

Andrew MisplonKeymasterHi Sam
Thanks for your support.
I’ll do my best to assist with this later or tomorrow morning. If you want to get ready you could install a plugin called Code Snippets (if you are using a child theme then we won’t use this plugin). We’ll use Code Snippets to overwrite the existing function and change it to the function you’re after.

Andrew MisplonKeymasterGive this a try:
1. Install Simple Custom CSS from
Plugins > Add New
. Then, go toAppearance > Custom CSS
and insert:#main .entry-header .entry-meta .updated { display: inline-block; } .entry-header .entry-meta span { display: inline-block; margin-right: 5px; } .entry-header .entry-meta span:before, .entry-header .entry-meta a:before { content: none !important; }
2. Go to Snippets > Add New (after installing Code Snippets). Add a new snippet, name it Posted On, insert the following as the snippet body:
if ( ! function_exists( 'puro_posted_on' ) ) : /** * Prints HTML with meta information for the current post-date/time and author. */ function puro_posted_on() { $time_string = '<time class="entry-date published updated" datetime="%1$s">%2$s</time>'; if ( get_the_time( 'U' ) !== get_the_modified_time( 'U' ) ) { $time_string = '<time class="entry-date published" datetime="%1$s">%2$s</time><time class="updated" datetime="%3$s">%4$s</time>'; } $time_string = sprintf( $time_string, esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ), esc_html( get_the_date() ), esc_attr( get_the_modified_date( 'c' ) ), esc_html( get_the_modified_date() ) ); $posted_on = sprintf( esc_html_x( 'Posted on %s', 'post date', 'puro' ), '<a href="' . esc_url( get_permalink() ) . '" rel="bookmark">' . $time_string . '</a>' ); $byline = sprintf( esc_html_x( 'by %s', 'post author', 'puro' ), '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="' . esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ) . '">' . esc_html( get_the_author() ) . '</a></span>' ); $cats = sprintf( esc_html_x( 'in %s', 'categories in', 'puro' ), get_the_category_list( __( ', ', 'puro' ) ) ); echo '<span class="posted-on">' . $posted_on . '</span><span class="byline"> ' . $byline . '</span><span class="cat-links">'. $cats .'</span>'; // WPCS: XSS OK. } endif;
Enable the option to only run this snippet on the site front end. Click Save changes and activate.
Hope that helps.

skornsteinParticipantHi Andrew — really appreciate the fast and helpful response! It works really well.
On the archive page, it displays perfectly. On the individual posts, there’s a square before the date. It looks as though it’s trying to call the previous date icon. Any ideas there? Here’s an example:

Also, I’d like to donate some more to you since you’ve been so helpful. Can you send a PayPal link?

Andrew MisplonKeymasterFor sure, glad I could help. Sorry for missing the single post issues. Please, remove the CSS we previously added and instead insert:
#main .entry-header .entry-meta .updated { display: inline-block; } .entry-header .entry-meta span { display: inline-block; margin-right: 5px; } .entry-header .entry-meta span:before, .entry-header .entry-meta a:before { content: none !important; } .single .entry-header .entry-meta .entry-date:before { content: none; } .single #main .entry-header .entry-meta .updated { display: none; }
Thanks so much for your kind offer. You could perhaps use this page: https://purothemes.com/donate/ or our PayPal email address [email protected].
