Removing "Posted By" in posts?

Either post at your theme dev.’s site and inquire with same question or review the theme’s template files for ‘posted by’ and remove it (always keep a backup).

You cannot remove just the posted by part without also removing the rest of the line including categories and comments… unless you go in and modify core theme files which is HIGHLY frowned upon. This is because of the way your theme is coded.

However, if you would like to hide the entire line from being shown, simply add this to your custom css:

.post small {
    display: none;
}

This will remove all of the content not just the admin text and link. no?

Correct. It will remove the posted by… the author name.. the tags used… and the comments. Basically everything in the .post small class.

OK, I’ll give it a try and see what happens. Thanks for the help!

Josh and Swanson,

I’m sorry, I’m still learning WordPress and I thought I could find where I need to put the ” .post small {display: none;}” code but I can’t find where to put it.

I know Josh mentioned adding it to my custom CSS but when I go into the editor in WordPress for the theme I’m using, the theme is called “Delicate”, I have no idea where to add the code.

Can you help me with this, I would really be thankful.

Well, you should be using a child theme to make custom css modifications. Is your theme a premium theme? IF so, contact the developer and ask about creating a child theme.

You can also find out information about it here:

Then, you would add the code I gave you above to the “style.css” file in your child theme folder.

If you add the code to your theme’s stylesheet, it will be overwritten whenever you update your theme. Which is why it’s crucial to use a child theme. Changes in the child theme are never overwritten.

Thanks, it worked!

My pleasure.
