Hi Isabella,

Please add this to Theme Options > CSS

/*remove the author and date from posts meta*/
.p-meta span:not(:last-of-type) {
	display: none;
}

If you need to remove the entire posts meta including the categories, please navigate to Theme Options > Blog and turn OFF the Post Meta option.

Hope it helps,
Cheers!

Great it works! can I take out from the Latest post element too?

thanks a lot

Sure thing, please update the provided CSS code to this:

/*remove the author and date from posts meta
including date on recent posts element*/
.p-meta span:not(:last-of-type),
.x-recent-posts-date {
	display: none !important;
}

To learn about custom CSS, you can inspect your site using Chrome’s developer tools to see the styling that is applied to an element and then using custom CSS to override it. You can find more info on how to check for CSS selectors here. Then information about writing your custom CSS here.

Hope it helps,
Cheers!

Hi Isabella,

I don’t see that you updated the code I provided

Please update the code to this:

@friech

/remove the author and date from posts meta
including date on recent posts element/
.p-meta span:not(:last-of-type),
.x-recent-posts-date {
display: none !important;
}

They just look the same, but they are different.

I’m still working on your other thread.

Thanks,

OOPs sorry , now also the categories disappeared. I would love them to stay. just author and dates need to go…

can you please help?
thanks

Hi Isabella,

Sorry, do you mean on the recent posts element? Regretfully, recent posts element does not show categories by default, only title and date.

Thanks,

[isa1978]

hello @friech no, I meant in the regular posts

[friech]

Hi Isabella,

Ah so the categories is not always the last-type, please update the custom CSS that I provided above to this:

/*remove the author and date from posts meta
including date on recent posts element*/
.p-meta span:not(:nth-child(3n)),
.p-meta>span:after,
.x-recent-posts-date {
	display: none !important;
}

Notice the .p-meta span:not(:last-of-type) I change it to .p-meta span:not(:nth-child(3n))
That custom CSS means, hide the post-meta but not the 3rd one which are the categories.

Dont forget clearing your browser’s cache after updating the code.

Cheers!
