Does Removing Byline Require Pro?

I absolutely love this theme. I want to remove ‘posted on’ ‘by admin’ ‘leave comment’ and ‘edit post’ Basically the whole top byline for each new post. I also want to hide ‘posted in’ and ‘tagged with’ at the bottom of each post.

Since I can’t find any info on how to do this with the CSS box in the Free version I am wondering if this can only be done with the Pro version. It needs to be a theme option really.

I am unable to invest in a premium theme right now but if I could remove these features now I will definitely support the premium theme in the future. I looked through hundreds and there isn’t another one that I love this much. I want to keep it forever.
