Hi there,

I’m not sure why EE is even set up by default to display this — surely on an event list page, you want to display the date of your event, which is of course never going to be the same as the date it was posted on the website. Maybe I am missing something here but I don’t quite understand the reasoning.

EE is not setup to display that information, your theme is.

Your using the standard WP category listings which uses your theme to output the details, if your theme outputs the post_date for the posts list then that’s what is output to the page.

EE injects the event details into the_content and uses your theme to output the details as much as possible, we do this to keep event posts consistent with your other posts.

I need to be able to remove that div from just our main event-category page, or from all EE post archive pages.

Can you not just use the classes added to the body tag? If I understand correctly, you don’t need an ID to do what you need.

For example, to remove that element from EE category listings:

.tax-espresso_event_categories span.post-meta.meta-data {
    display: none;
}

To remove it from the EE archive page:

.post-type-archive-espresso_events span.post-meta.meta-data {
    display: none;
}

Combine that together:

.tax-espresso_event_categories span.post-meta.meta-data,
.post-type-archive-espresso_events span.post-meta.meta-data {
    display: none;
}

That should remove that section.

The body tag (if using body_class()) adds page specific classes that you can use for a whole host of context specific selectors.

Is that what you are looking for?
