Hi,

In the admin area > theme panel > layout settings > post settings, there is the usual options to show/hide several items. Is there anyway to switch some of these on/off universally for a particular category or custom post type?

For instance I have a category and custom post type where I don’t want to display author or date.

Apologies – seen this has been requested already. Any guidance on how to accomplish it would be awesome, even if it means updating the DB ourselves

Hi,

The theme doesn’t have an option to remove date and author on articles from a specific category and you will need custom modifications to achieve that. For example you could try in_category() function like this:
*for date(use the same function also on modules) in td_module.php file – http://screencast.com/t/saZTUxhGmwHq
*for author please edit td_module_single_base.php – http://screencast.com/t/XAOzPjVnC

Thanks!

Thanks

I’ve achieved it by creating single-event.php and then using loop-event.php within it, both customised.

Again, would be ever so useful to set this in the front end rather than editing files
