Please note that you do not need to remove the functions before editing them. Hat tip to jim

You should make a note that it’s not necessary to remove a function, then edit it.
Most people are going to want to remove OR edit, but probably not both. It’s a little unclear that you don’t have to remove to edit.

Good point. Thanks Jim. I was trying to show how to remove or edit as separate actions but I can see where it could be confusing . I will make a note.

How would one modify this so that you could remove post meta for just custom post types?

You could do something like this:
add_action('genesis_before', 'remove_cpt_meta');
function remove_cpt_meta() {
$post_type = get_query_var('post_type');
if( !empty( $post_type ) && ( $post_type != 'post' ) ) {
remove_action('genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta');
}
}

Hey Lori,
Thanks for the reply. That snippet didn’t work for me, but this did.
add_action(‘genesis_before’, ‘remove_cpt_meta’);
function remove_cpt_meta() {
if( is_single && ! is_single(‘post’) ) {
remove_action(‘genesis_after_post_content’, ‘genesis_post_meta’);
}
}
I then added another bit of code to remove post info as well:
add_action(‘genesis_before’, ‘remove_cpt_info’);
function remove_cpt_info() {
if( is_single && ! is_single(‘post’) ) {
remove_action(‘genesis_before_post_content’, ‘genesis_post_info’);
}
}
Now I just need a better way to write both pieces of code so that they are more efficient. I’m not a great coder by any measure, so, yeah. =)
Thanks for the help!

Hi Alex,
Glad you got it working
Didn’t notice that you were only trying to remove the meta from single posts.
For efficiency, you can do this:
if( is_single && ! is_single(‘post’) ) {
remove_action(‘genesis_before_post_content’, ‘genesis_post_info’);
remove_action(‘genesis_after_post_content’, ‘genesis_post_meta’);
}
I haven’t tested it, but I don’t see any reason why it would not work.
