    Hello,

    I was wondering if anyone could tell me why my child theme isn’t reading the inc folder? I added the folder to my mon-cahier-child folder and copied template-tags.php so I could remove the “by <author>” data under the post title. If I delete this information in my main mon cahier theme it works, but when I try to do it in the child theme, the edit to the file has no effect on the theme.

    any suggestions?

    Thanks.

    I just tested this out myself and it doesn’t seem to work.

    A better idea might be to simply hide that info using the following CSS:

    .byline {display: none;}

    Christine,

    Thanks for the quick reply. That worked, but in the page source you still see all the code that if you just deleted the vcard stuff from the template-tags.php, it would completely disappear. Let me know if you ever figure out the issue, but in the meantime, this is a good fix.

    BTW, I really like the theme! Thanks for your work on it.

    Christine,

    Sorry, I just noticed that this didn’t work completely. While it hides the author on the main site and in lists by categories and tags, if I click on the title of a post and view the single post, it still has the author’s name under the title.

    Thanks,

    Josh

    Hi Josh,

    You’re right. The single post uses a different class.
    Try using this instead of what I gave you above.

    .single .byline,
.byline {
display: none;
}

    I’ll look into why the modifying the template doesn’t work as well. But this is much quicker for now.

    Thanks for the compliment. Glad you like the theme.

    Hi Josh,

    I finally got my head out of the Christmas haze and looked at this.
    I think that what you want to do, is in your child theme, if you have a functions.php file, just add this to it:

    function mon_cahier_posted_on( ) {
	printf( __( '<time class="entry-date updated" datetime="%3$s" pubdate>%4$s</time>', 'mon_cahier' ),
		esc_url( get_permalink() ),
		esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
		esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
		esc_html( get_the_date() )
	);
}

    The parent theme has a call that checks to see if that function isn’t called, so the child theme can just have it’s own function and override the parent.

    I found the answer thanks to this thread – http://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-create-child-functionsphp-file-for-twentyten?replies=26

    Sorry for the delay.

    Unfortunately, the function.php didn’t work. But I updated to v2.8, and now the byline code in the style file works perfectly.
