Topic: Disable date and author only for posts in specific categories

Hi,

I’m using GeneratePress and I would like to hide post meta (date and author) only for posts belonging to specific categories, while keeping them visible for all other posts.

For example:
– Category A → date and author hidden
– Category B / all other categories → date and author visible

Is there a recommended way to achieve this in GeneratePress?
I’m open to using hooks, filters, or custom CSS/PHP if needed.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Please use the following PHP:

add_action( 'wp', function() {
    if ( has_category( array( 10, 20, 25 ) ) ) {
        add_filter( 'generate_post_date', '__return_false' );
        add_filter( 'generate_post_author', '__return_false' );
    }
} );

10, 20 and 25 being the category IDs you’re targeting.

Thank you very much for your help!

The suggested solution works perfectly. I implemented the PHP code via a snippet and it now correctly hides the date and author only for posts in the documentation categories, while keeping them visible everywhere else.

Issue resolved 👍
Thanks again for the clear and effective support.
