How to remove entire”Article Information” section?

[Donna Green]

Hi there, please could someone help?

I am trying to remove the entire “Article Information” section underneath the content on individual blog posts but can’t quite figure out how to do it.

I think I need to edit the “content-single.php” page, but I’m not sure how?

The text I need to remove is:

“Article Information
Last Modified on 25 January 2016
this article NAME OF BLOG POST
Edit This Post”

I can’t link to my site as it’s still in development and is not live, but I attach a screenshot.

I’d be so grateful for advice!

Many thanks 🙂

Hi Donna Green,

If you want that information to be removed then simply you can do it by following css:
Add this css on child theme style.css file:

article.type-post footer.single-footer {
    display: none;
}

Let us know if you got any problems on this.

Note: Please use child theme style.css file to add custom css, so your changes will not lost on theme update.

Thanks

Thanks

I have the same problem as Donna but the code addition did NOT solve the issue on my site.

As a related matter, the ONLY items I have in the provided child theme for Pure and Simple Pro is Theme Functions and the style.css. The style.css is mostly empty and says “add your own styles below.”

I did that and updated the file but nothing happened.

Perhaps it’s a problem that the child theme is also version 1.0.0 and the parent is 1.5? But 1.0.0 was in the download folder for 1.5.0. Maybe I need to create a new child theme?

Hi John Maberry,

Thanks for contacting us. The version of child theme doesn’t matter on such circumstances, so you needn’t have to create child theme. And regarding to article information , can you please provide your site url so we can provide you the appropriate solution

Note: Child theme is separate theme that just inherits the template of parent, so version of child theme and parent theme are not related to each other. And also we didn’t have made any changes on child theme during the theme update

Thanks

First, more on parent and child themes. I am not an expert at coding, so I may not be doing much with the child theme, but IF I do, I need to know how to get the files there from the parent. Is is OK to simply copy and paste them via Cpanel? Or must I use a child theme configurator like the one from Lilea. I have used that for other themes but it seems a little tricky for a number of reasons.

As for the Article Information, my site is a work in progress but since it is accessible (wish it wasn’t) as loaded by my ISP, the URL is http://eaglepeakpress.com/wordpress.

Here is a screenshot of what it looks like. You may need to scroll down to see the Article Information.

Hi John Maberry,

If you want to customize core file ,you can simple copy and paste the core file/template and paste it on child theme. For this make sure you are following same directory. For example. let say there is example-parentfile.php inside extras folder, then to customize this file you need to keep same file creating new folder called extras

And regarding to hide article information , we had look over your screenshot and found that the css given to hide article information is not added on style.css file of child theme. So please add this css on child theme style.css file to fix your issue.

article.type-post footer.single-footer {
    display: none;
}

Let us know how it will goes

Thanks

[John Maberry]

I don’t what you are looking at or why it doesn’t show up on your end, but here is what the style.css looks like on my backend of the Pure and Simple child theme. It’s been there for several days and does nothing. I also tried putting this in the Jetpack CSS stylesheet editor but it didn’t do anything there either so I deleted it from there.

/*
Theme Name: Pure and Simple Child
Description: A Child Theme for the Pure and Simple WordPress Theme. If you plan to do a lot of file modifications we recommend to use this Theme instead of the original Theme. Updating wil be much easier and you won’t lose your changes.
Version: 1.0.0
Author: Styled Themes
Author URI: https://www.styledthemes.com
Template: puresimple
*/

/* Add your own styles below */

article.type-post footer.single-footer {
display: none;
}

Hi John Maberry,

It seems you had created child theme on your own. And might be there is something wrong on child theme or cache is not letting browser to update you css.

So we request you to clear cache issue and also you can use child theme that comes on theme bundle itself[ “bundled file that comes when downloading from styledthemes.com”]. As that css works fine here and other site too

So if still these doesn’t help you . let us to fix your issue providing wp login details.

Note: Please send us your wp-login details at [email protected]

Thanks

[John Maberry]

I did not create the child theme on my own; this IS the one that came with the bundle. I will try clearing the cache.

[Sushil Adhikari]

That’s great John Maberry, let us know how it will goes after clearing cache.

Thanks

[John Maberry]

Still not working. Maybe some change needed in the actual article information section?
