I’m creating a directory site using BB and using single posts for listings.
Please could you let me know how to remove all of the post meta data from the single post template?
I want to prevent all of the stuff shown in this grab from showing on the front end view of single blog posts:
Basically I just want new blog posts to be a completely blank canvas, but keeping the header and footer, so I can create all of the content with the BB plugin. Is that possible please?
If your instructions are going to include adding/editing files to the child theme I’m using, please could you include:
which specific file to copy to the child theme
which specific lines of code to delete
I’m planning to use post modules set to grid or gallery instead of the native archive/index pages for each of my categories, and disable search so the meta doesn’t show up there either.
I have an easy method to do that. Add this line of CSS into your style.css file in the child theme.
article .fl-post-meta {
display: none;
}
This is just hiding the elements via CSS so the post meta data is still in the markup. If you wanted to really remove the post meta data from the markup, I can assign someone from the development team to assist you with that.
As you’re the king of meta then, 2 more related questions for you.
In the global settings there’s an option to turn off headings (page and post titles) but next to it there’s a tooltip that says you also need to add some basic CSS for this to work. Can you give me more info on this please?
I’m also having problems with the “Posts” module. I’ve added a gallery version of this module to a page, and selected the “hide dates” option. However, the dates are stubbornly showing still.
Here’s a video - sorry slow start but shows the settings of the module if you bear with it too!
Glad it worked for you! Setting that option to No should hide the title for Pages, is this not the case from your end?
Regarding the Posts Module, I am having the exact same scenario which led me to believe that this is a bug. Thanks for pointing that out. I will have the development team know about this. If you’re interested, you can use this line of CSS to hide the dates for the time being.
Yes, this is indeed a bug that we have issued a bug report for. We’ll look into that in the near future, but in the meantime, feel free to use CSS to hide the date until we can get that rectified and released. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
