Editing the Post Format

[johnlatham 1]

Could anyone advise me the best way to format post entries? I would like to do the following things. - Make the post title not be a link - Remove the word 'ON' before the post date - Remove the 'Continue Reading' Link Any help would be great! Thanks, John

Can I get a link preferably or at least know what theme you're using. I can help with all three, but 1 and 3 might contradict each other. Without these is there another way you have planned for readers to get to the post content? Thanks, Bryan

Yep, its www.bandmdavies.co.uk News Page. I have managed to remove the Continue reading link.

Hey John - To remove the link, you would need to edit template.postloop.php. I would recommend copying that into your base theme first, and modifying it from there. To remove the word "On", you could also modify the file listed above. Or, with CSS:

.metabar .sword{display:none;}

Hey thanks, Im using the platform template so would it be possible for you to tell me the exact piece of code I need to remove from the postloop.php file to make the post titles not be links? Thanks.

Okay, so; Appearance > Editor > template.postloop.php ` <?php pagelines_register_hook( 'pagelines_loop_posttitle_start', 'theloop' ); //hook the_title(); ?> ` Change to: ` <?php pagelines_register_hook( 'pagelines_loop_posttitle_start', 'theloop' ); //hook the_title(); ?> ` Thanks, Bryan

Thanks Bryan, just tried this and still doesn't work. Is it possible for me to email you a text file and you could amend it so I can copy and past it all in? That would be extremely helpful!

Just to be clear here, you may have copied template.postloop.php into the Base child theme, but I don't think you actually have the Base child theme activated and thus the changes aren't "changing"

I haven't copied anything in to anywhere at the moment. Is that something I need to do?

If you want to make changes to the core files its a good idea to do that. It will prevent overwriting the changes when updates happen. So, download the base child theme from your Pagelines account and activate it as you would any other theme. Copy that file into your base theme's directory. Then make your changes.
