Remove Author metadata from posts

Hi!

I am trying to remove the author metadata on each post. I (kind of) know what code from the single-post.php that I need to remove – but I do not want to remove a character too much and get a php error.

I do not have access to the FTP information for this site so I’ve got one shot to eliminate it. Can someone please show me exactly which text to delete?

Here it is:

<div class="post-title">
            <?php if ( is_front_page() ): ?>
                <h1 class="front-page"><?php the_title() ?></h1>
            <?php else: ?>
                <h1 class="inner-page"><?php the_title() ?></h1>
            <?php endif ?>

            <?php if(!actuate_get_option('disable_post_meta')): ?>
            <div class="post-meta">
                <?php
                    echo '<span class="entry-date">' . get_the_date() . '</span>';
                    <strong>echo '<span class="meta-author-url">, By <span class="author vcard">';
                    the_author_posts_link();</strong>
                    echo '</span> </span>';
                    if(!comments_open()) { // Comments not open
                        if(get_comments_number()){ // Comments are more than zero
                            echo ' | <span class="post-meta-comments">'.get_comments_number(). ' '. __('Comments (Closed)', 'actuate').'</span>';
                        } else { // Comments are zero
                            echo ' | ' . __('Comments (Closed)', 'actuate');
                        }
                    } else { // Comments are open
                        echo ' | <span class="post-meta-comments">';
                        comments_number( '<a href='.get_comments_link().'>'.__('Leave a reply', 'actuate').'</a>', __('1 Comment', 'actuate'), '% '.__('Comments', 'actuate') );
                        echo '</span>';
                    } ?>
            </div>
        <?php endif ?>
        </div>

Thank you so much!
