    I know that this topic is been posted a lot but the solutions posted didn’t work.

    I’ve got Hestia from Themeisle (fre version) I need to remove “posted by author and date” from the Blog page, where the resume posts are shown.

    I followed the recomendations about coding CSS and worked fine to get removed this data from the single post page but in the blog page resume, were not changed any data like “posted by author and date”.

    I’ve reviewed function.php file but there was no “posted by” in either.

    Do you Know any other way to fix this?

    The page I’m talking about is in this URL: https://efficience74.fr/prestations/

  • Hi @mailnoi
    There are two ways to hide things:
    1. The easiest way is to leave it in the html code, but hide it, using CSS.
    If you simply use the “inspector” or similar function of your web browser then you can find the ID:s and/or classes to target. Obviously this theme uses different classes on single vs. multi, so you may need to add the corresponding class name in the CSS patch you’ve already done.

    2. The other way is to instruct WordPress to not even output this information. Some themes control this by a setting. (And you could suggest that to the theme author, as a nice feature.)
    You’d accomplish this by setting up a child theme.
    The strings you want to edit/suppress are located in two places:
    hestia/template-parts/content.php row 58-59 (for multi-posts page) and
    hestia/single.php row 18-19

    So if you copy these two files to the corresponding places in your child theme, then your copy will be used instead of the parent theme’s files.

    If you just edit these files directly in your current theme, then your changes will disappear next time you update the theme.

    Hi Tobi.
    Thanks so much for your fast response and for a correct solution.

    I had to implement the easy solution you told me:

    The strings you want to edit/suppress are located in two places:
    hestia/template-parts/content.php row 58-59 (for multi-posts page) and
    hestia/single.php row 18-19

    “If you just edit these files directly in your current theme, then your changes will disappear next time you update the theme.”

    Later I will try to learn how to translating it in CSS code to put in the Childtheme. I’m a WP newbie, only a WP fan, not a coder.

    You saved me, that site looks like I want it now.

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME.

    P.S. Your site is great! I liked on FB, beautiful pic of BCN beach, I`m living there too.
