Blog – Remove Author and Show Excerpt

To remove the author name, add this to your functions.php –

//* Customize the post info function
add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'sp_post_info_filter' );
function sp_post_info_filter($post_info) {
if ( !is_page() ) {
	$post_info = '[post_date] by [post_comments] [post_edit]';
	return $post_info;
}}

If you ever want to add it back or rearrange the order, add this shortcode –

[post_author_posts_link]

To show excerpts (on the blog), take a look in your Genesis Theme Settings page in the Content Archives section. You can select a content limit or excerpt in the Display option.

Is that link your regular blog page or is that a custom page? If it’s the regular blog page, then I’m not sure why it’s not working. I just did another test with that same code and it seems to work.

Let me know if you want me to login and try it.

Ah! I didn’t think about that. I was wondering if there was some custom code added somewhere.
