create separate functions.php in child theme (child theme functions.php is read before the parent functions.php file; as opposed to child theme CSS file is read after parent CSS file.)
place responsive_post_meta_data code below in new child theme functions.php file.
modify the function “responsive_post_meta_data” HTML parts.
to modify the style of the “responsive_post_meta_data” function in child theme CSS style sheet; I turned off the “comment[down arrow]” link using the CSS…
.comments-link {
display:none;
}
/**
* This function prints post meta data.

responsive_post_meta_data
if (!function_exists('responsive_post_meta_data')) :
function responsive_post_meta_data() {
printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted on </span>%2$s<span class="%3$s"> by </span>%4$s', 'responsive' ),
'meta-prep meta-prep-author posted',
sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><span class="timestamp">%3$s</span></a>',
esc_url( get_permalink() ),
esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
esc_html( get_the_date() )
),
'byline',
sprintf( '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s" title="%2$s">%3$s</a></span>',
get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ),
sprintf( esc_attr__( 'View all posts by %s', 'responsive' ), get_the_author() ),
esc_attr( get_the_author() )
)
);
}
endif;
This was my modification to the parent function “responsive_post_meta_data”… removed “Posted On” text, removed hyperlink to “date” and “author”, and added line break after “date”.
modified child theme CSS to close up line-height.
.post-meta {
clear: both;
color: #000;
font-size: 21px;
line-height: 21px;
margin-bottom: 0;
}
my modified “responsive_post_meta_data” function.
if ( ! function_exists( 'responsive_post_meta_data' ) ) :
function responsive_post_meta_data() {
printf( __( '<span class="%1$s"></span>%2$s<span class="%3$s"><br /> by </span>%4$s', 'responsive' ),
'meta-prep meta-prep-author posted',
sprintf( '<span class="timestamp">%3$s</span>',
esc_url( get_permalink() ),
esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
esc_html( get_the_date() )
),
'byline',
sprintf( '<span class="author vcard">%3$s</span>',
get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ),
