I want to be able to display some meta information (date, author, etc) underneath the title of the post, but I want it to be informational only and not link to the post (in the case of the date) or to the author’s list of posts (in the case of the author).
Is there an easy way to do that?
Hi Sean,
You’ll need to filter to remove the links.
Example/s:
For author –
add_filter( 'wpsp_author_output', function(){ return sprintf( '<span class="wp-show-posts-byline wp-show-posts-meta"> <span class="wp-show-posts-author vcard" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author"> <span class="author-name" itemprop="name">%3$s</span> </span> </span>', esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ), esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'wp-show-posts' ), get_the_author() ) ), esc_html( get_the_author() ) ) });For date –
add_filter( 'wpsp_date_output', function( $time_string ){ return sprintf( '<span class="wp-show-posts-posted-on wp-show-posts-meta"> <a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark">%3$s</a> </span>', esc_url( get_permalink() ), esc_attr( get_the_time() ), $time_string ) });For tags/categories –
add_filter( 'wpsp_terms_output', function( $output, $settings ) { return sprintf( '<span class="wp-show-posts-terms wp-show-posts-meta">%1$s</span>', strip_tags( get_the_term_list( get_the_ID(), $settings[ 'taxonomy' ], '', apply_filters( 'wpsp_term_separator', ', ' ) ) ) ); } ,15 ,2);These are PHP codes. Here’s how to add PHP snippets to your site – https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/
Hi Elvin,
Thanks for getting back to me – I tried to use the Date filter as above, but it’s throwing an error saying that it is expecting a “;” instead of the “}”.
If I add the semi-colon in:
add_filter( 'wpsp_date_output', function( $time_string ){ return sprintf( '<span class="wp-show-posts-posted-on wp-show-posts-meta"> <a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark">%3$s</a> </span>', esc_url( get_permalink() ), esc_attr( get_the_time() ), $time_string ); });The filter doesn’t throw an error but it also doesn’t remove the hyperlink from the Date.
Ah that’s right. my bad. I added the unedited filter.
Try this:
add_filter( 'wpsp_date_output', function( $time_string ){ return sprintf( '<span class="wp-show-posts-posted-on wp-show-posts-meta"> %3$s </span>', esc_url( get_permalink() ), esc_attr( get_the_time() ), $time_string ); });Hi Elvin,
I’ve added that snippet to my functions.php in my child theme and it still doesn’t seem to be doing anything.
The date is still a hyperlink to the article.
I see.
Let’s remove all the previously suggested code snippets for the
wpsp_date_outputfilter.Try this instead.
add_filter( 'wpsp_date_output', 'tu_wpsp_remove_date_link' ); function tu_wpsp_remove_date_link() { $time_string = '<time class="wp-show-posts-entry-date published" datetime="%1$s" itemprop="datePublished">%2$s</time>'; if ( get_the_time( 'U' ) !== get_the_modified_time( 'U' ) ) { $time_string .= '<time class="wp-show-posts-updated" datetime="%3$s" itemprop="dateModified">%4$s</time>'; } $time_string = sprintf( $time_string, esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ), esc_html( get_the_date() ), esc_attr( get_the_modified_date( 'c' ) ), esc_html( get_the_modified_date() ) ); printf( '<span class="wp-show-posts-posted-on wp-show-posts-meta">%1$s</span>', $time_string ); }This one should work. Let us know how it goes.
Hi I am trying to remove the links in meta tags and category, but the suggested code doesn’t work. Should I have to edit anything.
The page have multiple lists.
The code I am trying to use is this:
add_filter( 'wpsp_terms_output', function( $output, $settings ) { return sprintf( '<span class="wp-show-posts-terms wp-show-posts-meta">%1$s</span>', strip_tags( get_the_term_list( get_the_ID(), $settings[ 'taxonomy' ], '', apply_filters( 'wpsp_term_separator', ', ' ) ) ) ); } ,15 ,2);
