  Hi @smithiesshutter,

  You said you’re using 2016 style. Do you mean the 2016 (Twenty Sixteen) WordPress theme?

  The blog URL mentioned in your original post is this –
  smithiesshutter.wordpress.com

  And that site uses a theme called Nishita.

  Plus I couldn’t find the author details below the post on that site.

  All of that makes me think that you’re looking for help for a different site. If that’s correct, please let us know the URL of that site :)

  No problem. I checked the new site URL.

  Unfortunately I don’t think there is a switch to disable the author area under the posts because it mainly depends on the active theme.

  However you can hide it using this custom CSS code –

  .author-info {
      display: none;
  }

  Note that you need to be on a premium plan or a business plan upgrade to use custom CSS (advanced design customization) –
  https://wordpress.com/plans

  If you’re already on any of those plans, then you can follow these steps to add that code to your site –
  My Sites → Customize → CSS

  More info here –

  I hope this helps :)

  Excellent, though this is a short term blog and therefore not premium.
  It’s also political insofar as I don’t want the company and big business to be able to identify me from the blog as I’m concerned about repercussions. Nothing illegal, just trying to take precautions.

  Is there a similar style design that hides author details?

  You can find a variety of themes on the themes page here –
  https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sort/free/

  I did a quick search and I found these (which don’t display an author box below the posts) –

  1) Big Brother
  2) Pen Scratch
  3) Satellite

  But it’s totally up to you to select whichever theme you like :)
