Snippet: Hide Blog Date & Add Page Setting to Conditionally Enable It
The following snippet can be used to hide the post meta data from blog posts and entries and only display it when a custom field has been checked to show it.
// Add new page setting
add_filter( 'wpex_metabox_array', function( $array, $post_type ) {
if ( 'post' !== $post_type ) {
return $array; // Add new setting to main tab for blog posts only
}
$array['main']['settings']['wpex_display_date'] = array(
'title' => __( 'Show Date?', 'wpex' ),
'description' => __( 'Display date on entries and posts', 'wpex' ),
'id' => 'wpex_display_date',
'type' => 'select',
'options' => array(
'' => __( 'No', 'wpex' ), // Default is no so it has an empty value
'yes' => __( 'Yes', 'wpex' ),
),
);
return $array;
}, 2, 20 );
// Show/hide date from meta.
function wpex_blog_meta_sections( $sections ) {
if ( 'yes' !== get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'wpex_display_date', true ) ) {
unset( $sections['date'] );
}
return $sections;
}
add_filter( 'totaltheme/blog/meta_blocks/entry_blocks', 'wpex_blog_meta_sections' );
add_filter( 'totaltheme/blog/meta_blocks/single_blocks', 'wpex_blog_meta_sections' );
