Hi Tom,
first of all, a big thank you for your awesome work. Really enjoy the combination of GP + WPShowposts (both Premium).

I’m looking for a solution how to remove the links from the date/autor meta box within a WP-Post-List embeded via the sections-feature. Currently using the following filter, which works with the standard blog-overview/single posts. Seems I’m missing something here:

add_filter( 'generate_post_date_output','tu_remove_date_link', 10, 2 );
function tu_remove_date_link( $output, $time_string ) {
	printf( '<span class="posted-on">%s</span>',
		$time_string
	);
}
add_filter( 'generate_post_author_output','tu_no_author_link' );
function tu_no_author_link() {
	printf( ' <span class="byline">%1$s</span>',
		sprintf( '<span class="author vcard" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author">%1$s <span class="fn n author-name" itemprop="name">%4$s</span></span>',
			__( 'by','generatepress'),
			esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
			esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'generatepress' ), get_the_author() ) ),
			esc_html( get_the_author() )
		)
	);
}

Thanks in advance. Cheers from Bonn, Germany

Hi there,

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner!

WPSP uses different filters. This should help:

add_filter( 'wpsp_author_output', 'tu_wpsp_remove_author_link' );
function tu_wpsp_remove_author_link() {
    printf(
        '<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">%1$s</span>
            </span>
        </span>',
        esc_html( get_the_author() )
    );
}

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
    );
}

No, but you can try this to do that:

add_filter( 'wpsp_terms_output', function( $output ) {
    return sprintf( '<span class="wp-show-posts-terms wp-show-posts-meta">%1$s</span>',
        strip_tags( get_the_term_list( get_the_ID(), $settings[ 'taxonomy' ], '', apply_filters( 'wpsp_term_separator', ', ' ) ) )
    );
} );

Let me know 🙂

To have it all in one place, how would I remove the link from the comment count?

Hi there,

It’s not possible, unfortunately, as the WP function itself hardcodes the link into the function.

You would have to add your own function in there to display the number only.

Hi Tom!

The filters are working for me, but it’s resulting in the vertical bar appearing after the date:

Author Name September 1, 2020 |

With links it appears as expected:

Author Name | September 1, 2020

Sorry I have no example link: this is still a local testing site. Thanks!

As below:

add_filter( 'wpsp_author_output', 'tu_wpsp_remove_author_link' );
function tu_wpsp_remove_author_link() {
    printf(
        '<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">%1$s</span>
            </span>
        </span>',
        esc_html( get_the_author() )
    );
}

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
    );
}

That looks good. Could be CSS – can you link me to the page?

Hi Tom,

The site is still in local development, but I made a version of the relevant page:

Test site blog index

Hope that works!
