    I’m new to wordpress and I’m trying to figure out how to customize my posts. I have the TwentyEleven theme. I create my initial post that is appearing on my home page.

    I set up background image for entry-header and change some css on entry-title to get it how I want it to appear. But I want to remove the date of the post and the comment option that is appearing to the right on the title. I can’t figure out how to eliminate them.

    And then I would also like to eliminate the meta data appearing at the end of the post.

    Can someone please explain to me how I can do this or direct me to an article on how to do it?

    First, you should create a Child theme for your modifications. If you do not do this, all your changes will be lost the next time TwentyEleven is updated.

    A good tool is essential for trying to adjust the appearance of a site. I use the Firefox browser with the Firebug addon. With that, you can right-click any screen element and have Firebug show you the CSS and HTML for that element.

    You can even edit the CSS right there on the screen to try out different settings.

    One way to hide an element is to apply the ‘display: none;’ style to it.

    To hide the elements you mentioned, add these lines to the END of you Child’s style.css:

    header.entry-header .entry-meta { display: none; }
header.entry-header .comments-link { display: none; }

    Worked perfect. Thank you very much.

    I’m using the same theme with a child theme and would like to set the article element to have a background colour of white, but when I do this it ruins the rest of the site, as every page has the article div on it and so where I have elements in front of a colourful background pic, when I make the article div background colour white, it seems to muck everything up…

    Take a look and see, my site is https://www.artescape.org.uk

    Any help or advice provided would be much appreciated.

    Thanks!
