    How do I remove the date, category AND author byline info from all posts on my site?

    Is there a way to do this with one entry? Or, do I need to do something different depending on the format of the post?

    Thanks so much.

    Hi, use this in your custom css field:

    .entry-meta { display: none; }

    Is there a way to remove just the DATE display, without removing the link to COMMENTS, or the EDIT button?

    I was able to do it by editing the format-video.php file (since all my posts are video posts) but it didn’t remove the date from the single post pages.

    I know this isn’t really a long-term solution, anyway, since it will get over-written in the next update. I need to learn how to make a child theme… but I just can’t wrap my head around child themes. Everytime I try, it never works! So, thank goodness for the custom css in Bloggy’s STYLE tab!

    Hi, I will improve Bloggy WP to make that controllable via custom css, then release an update in a week. Thanks for the feedback.

    That would be great. Support for this theme is truly exceptional, and very much appreciated.

    I just updated Bloggy and entered in the custom css but it is not working,.
    I have snippets of my posts on the homepage where I would like to keep date, sharing, comment but once you click through to continue reading I don’t want the author info to show.

    Can you assist? Thanks and Happy New year!

    Improved. New version is available on ThemeForest.

    – remove category:

    body.blog .post-category { display: none; }
    

    – remove date:

    body.blog .post-date { display: none; }
    

    – remove author:

    body.blog .by-author { display: none; }
    

    – remove comments:

    body.blog .comments-link { display: none; }

    Thank you for adding this option to customize the meta display.

    I also see a new option on the BLOG tab in Theme Options, labeled “All Meta for Post Formats” – Enable/Disable

    Can you explain what that does? Is it controlling something different than the code you posted above?

    Thank you.

    Normally, in the blog page, the standard post format has the all meta info, but the other post formats only have two meta info. That option for them.

    Hello. I’m using (a child theme of) Read WP, thankfully in which these codes work just as well. so I have removed all post meta from the blog. but when I open each post they’re still present, which is fine except for the author which I’d like to remove definitely from everywhere. how do I do that?

    Try this:

    .entry-meta { display: none; }

    Thank you Mehmet, but that eliminates all of the meta, I just want to eliminate the author (in each post) I have already eliminated the metas from the blog.

    Try this:

    .by-author { display: none; }
