How do I remove the author from a post?

Hello scottspinola,

=> Put below css code into Additional CSS textarea (Dashboard >> Apperance >> Customize) then click on Save & Publish button.
=> If there is no Additional CSS option then put below css code into your current theme’s style.css file located at wp-content/themes/your_current_active_theme/ folder.


.post-meta p.post-author {
display:none;
}

.post-meta p.post-date:before{
display:none;
}


Note : All Changes you done in style.css or other file are gone when you update theme. So prefer Child Theme

Hope this will helps you.

Thanks. So what do I do if I’m already using a child theme? For past modifications I’ve been told to make a copy of the necessary file into the child directory and edit the file.

in my case it was like this:

.post .byline {
display:none;
}

.post .byline:before{
display:none;
}

Thanks @shawtux! That worked for me.

Just to be clear, I’m running a child theme. I went to the setting Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and added the code there. Will that get overridden when I update the theme or WordPress?

From what I understand that’s the best way and it should not be overridden. I currently don’t use a child theme (but I should for best practices).

Also where you put the code send good. I did the same.
