Hello, I’ve just switched to the Marquee theme and I was wondering if it might be possible to make a couple of alterations? I’d like to remove the ‘BY xxx ON AUGUST 5, 2017’ etc. tag that appears beneath the article titles. And I’d like to be able to change the size of the website title on the header image. Would v much appreciate your help. Thanks! J

Hi there,

Please try adding the CSS below to the customizer in My Sites > Customize > CSS:
```
/* Hide author and date info */
.entry-meta {
    display: none;
}

/* Increase site title font size */
.wf-active .site-title {
    font-size: 32px;
}
```
If the CSS doesn’t have the desired effect, please let me know :)

Awesome, that worked! Thank you. I’ve got one other thing I was hoping to alter. Would it be possible to change the ‘(more…)’ that appears under the first two article paragraphs on the front page to something simpler, like ‘Read More’

Awesome, that worked! Thank you.

You’re welcome :)

I don’t have access to your premium theme to test this, but some themes support custom “more” tags.

Instead of using <!–more–>, you could try using <!–more Read More–> instead.

Full details on how to customize the “more” tag are outlined in point 3 b) at https://en.support.wordpress.com/more-tag/#adding-and-customizing-the-more-tag

If it doesn’t work, you could try posting a thread in the dedicated support forum for Marquee. The theme developer might be able to offer you some other ideas.

Is it possible to move the site title around the header image?

Yes, it’s possible.

Where would you like it to be positioned?

Cool, thanks. Could you shift it down a bit?

Please try using the CSS below. The 200px can be increased/decreased depending on how much you’d like to shift it down.
```
@media screen and (min-width: 1024px) {
    .site-branding {
        position: relative;
        top: 200px;
    }
}
```

Hi Gary, would it be possible to remove the header image from the article pages, leaving just the website title and blank space on the left of the screen? Thanks, Jamie

Sure. Please try using:
```
.single-post .site-header {
    background-image: none;
}
```
