Is there an API call in WordPress to remove the categories and author from static pages?

Question

I'm currently using the Carrington Blog theme, and it has a few things that I would like to remove from static pages. I would like to remove the "Posted in Uncategorized.", "By Thomas Owens – August 13, 2009" (where Thomas Owens is the author and August 13, 2009 is the date of posting), and "Comments Off" from all static pages (since I used the control panel to disable commenting on these pages) while leaving them on the blog post pages.

However, I took a quick glance through the API and I didn't see (1) a method to do this and (2) what page actually generates this so I can edit that.

If a plugin is already made, I could use that, however it seems like it would be a fairly simple operation to do.

Answer 1

Just wrap those sections in your template files with:

if(!is_page()) {
  // posted by box etc.
}

Answer 2

or modify (or create) the page.php in the theme's template folder
