Hi,

How can I remove the author and date on pages? I also like to adjust the space between the page title and the main content. How can I do it?

I also need to know how to match Blog, Listing Categories, Popular Locations font at the footer. If you look at Blog, it’s in bold letters.

Thank you in advance.

I had the same problem, so I created a child theme, http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

Then create a copy of /wp-content/themes/GeoDirectory Framework/page.php in /wp-content/themes/My-Child-Theme/

Activate your child theme the usual way in WP admin

Then go to appearance > eiditor > and edit /wp-content/themes/My-Child-Theme/page.php: remove this line:

<p class=”byline vcard”> <?php printf( __( ‘Posted <time class=”updated” datetime=”%1$s” >%2$s</time> by <span class=”author”>%3$s</span>’, GEODIRECTORY_FRAMEWORK ), get_the_time(‘c’), get_the_time(get_option(‘date_format’)), get_the_author_link( get_the_author_meta( ‘ID’ ) )); ?> </p>

To change the spacings you have to play with your CSS, just add something like this to /wp-content/themes/My-Child-Theme/style.css

.hentry header {
padding: 5px;
}

I’ve done a similar thing at http://www.bookhinterland.com.au/about/

Thank you, Guust. I was hoping for an easier way. The footer menu and links need proper styling too.

Here’s my site:

Perhaps the developers can fix these minor issues on the next release. Maybe the upcoming child themes will take care of these.
