    I thought I had inserted the correct byline code but obviously not. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there, we need to change the CSS selector a bit. If you wish to have the author disappear everywhere (blog, archive category, tag and single post pages) then use this.

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

    If you wish to only hide the author on single post pages, then use this.

    .single .entry-header .entry-meta {
        display: none;
    }

    Do I just open the CSS box in customizing and insert that coding at the top or is there a special place I need to put it?

    The byline is now gone from the indivdual posts once you click on the front page link, but it still appears on my cover or home page, which is where I also want it to disappear. Nobody else writes on my blog. I don’t need my name as author on every single thing. Thanks.

    Use the first code I gave you instead of the second. The first one removes the author from everywhere, the second, only on the single post pages.
