Did not work using the CSS options, but the PHP option worked well

tbwriter December 27, 2023

The CSS option didn’t do anything for my site, but when I selected the PHP option, it removed the date as it was supposed to. It has an option to remove the author too, but I didn’t try that as I don’t want to remove the author information from my posts. Thanks for making this plugin.

Working fine on WordPress 6.1.1

It worked…BUT

balirooms July 11, 2021

It worked! (Using the PHP option) BUT! It left the little calendar icon and the separator line. I’ll live with that.

Works great

It’s good that you can choose what you want to hide and with what technique.
