Tagged: display results, Hide, metadata
Hi guys!
I have a question: How can i hide the metadata (author, tags, categories, date) from the ‘display results’ shortcode?
I have to add a lot af categories at each post and it just looks like a mess if the metadata are shown. Is there a possibility to hide them and use the categories and tags ‘behind the scenes’?
A general note first:
Our plugin files are located on your server in this location:
…/wp-content/plugins/search-filter-pro
There you will find a sub-folder named templates
and in that a file named results.php
.
This documentation:
https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/search-results/using-a-shortcode/#customising-the-results
tells the user to copy that file to their child theme folder, and place it in to a sub-folder that they should name search-filter
Note that it is always good practice to use a child theme (this is a WordPress recommendation), as it stops updates of a theme from overwriting or deleting any changes and customizations).
Similarly, if you fail to make that copy of the result.php template file and make your edits to that, then, when our plugin updates, it will overwrite the results.php file in our plugin templates folder.
So, having done that, you can then edit that copied file, and remove what you do not need. Probably these lines:
<p><?php the_category(); ?></p>
<p><?php the_tags(); ?></p>
<p><small><?php the_date(); ?></small></p>
