Hiding the Post Title, Date and Meta – works in Post preview, not on page

    I’m developing my first WP site in a localhost environment, using WP 4.1.1. and XAMPP on my local PC. My theme is Themify BASIC.

    The theme adds the “Themify Custom Panel” to the WP Edit Post screen. I use its Post Options tab to impose the following:

    – Hide post title
    – Hide post meta
    – Hide post date
    – Unlink featured image

    I publish the file:

    1. When I select the PREVIEW CHANGES button or the VIEW POST button on the Edit Post page, the post is displayed in compliance with the settings I imposed. The information is hidden.

    2. But when I select VISIT SITE at the top of the Dashboard Tools Menu and view the Post as it appears on the front of the site, it does not comply with the settings I imposed in the Edit Post page. Each piece of information that should be “hidden” is displayed.

    Why is this happening and how can I correct it?
    Thanks

    I’ve been scrounging around on Google. Apparently there is an important distinction between hiding the information in a POST, and hiding the same information when that post is displayed ON A PAGE.

    I’m working with a CHILD THEME to the Themify Basic theme. I created a STYLE.CSS file for my Basic-Child theme.

    I’m brand new to WordPress. I’m learning quickly, but losing so much time. Can somebody here give me basic advice on how to do this – just to get me started?

    It appears to me that I’ll have to add a bit of code to the CHILD THEME’S style.css file for each of the information types I want to hide when posts display on a page…

    Thanks

    I found this code in the STYLE.CSS file for my parent theme (for Themify BASIC theme). It refers to the PAGE rather than the POST. Am I on the right track?

    /************************************************************************************
PAGE
*************************************************************************************/
/* page title */
.page-title {
	margin: 0 0 15px;
	padding: 0;
	font-size: 300%;
	line-height: 110%;
}

    I’m pretty sure I need to copy this into my Basic-CHILD theme’s STYLE.CSS file, and then edit it. Is that correct?

    If it’s correct, how do I edit it to HIDE the page title?
