 * I am using Category Posts in Custom Menu widget with Max Mega Menu.
    It works
   fine, except I would like to delete the post date and post comment section, as
   that info takes up a lot of space in the menu area.
 * Plus, if possible, I would like to put post headline in bold.
 * Suggestions?
    Thanks.

 * Hi Mike,
 * I’m not sure what Max Mega Menus does here.
 * For category posts in custom menu, you can use HTML markup to make the headline
   bold.
 * To not show the date and comment section, you would simply refrain from using%
   post_date and %post_comment_count wildcards.
 * Kind regards,
    Diana

 * Hi, Diana
    I just took a look at the code for your Custom Posts, and admire the
   brain it took to write it. So I don’t screw things up, where exactly should I
   make the changes to delete date and comments? Perhaps if you can just copy that
   section to a message with a rule through what is to be deleted, that would work
   for me. (I removed these lines, but to no effect: $string = str_replace( “%post_comment_count”,
   $post->comment_count, $string);
 *  $string = replace_dates($post, $string);
 * Also, where should I add <b> to get the headlines bold?
 * thanks
    Mike

 * Hi Mike,
 * I’m surprised you had to go into the plugin code to do this… I really wonder 
   at what Max Mega Menus does under the hood, because my plugin never forces the
   comments or date sections into the menu, it’s all based on what is entered in
   Appearances > Menus.
 * Anyhow, glad it worked for you!
 * Kind regards,
    Diana
