  I recently purchased the Kent theme and the Custom Design Upgrade. I would like to delete or hide the .. By (name) on (date) which is under the post title, and I would like to delete or hide the profile information which is at the bottom of post.

  I have searched similar threads to understand how to do this, but nothing on the Kent theme with this and I read that themes are different, so what works on one may not work on another.

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

  Hi there, I took a look at your site and see that you have the following in your custom CSS:

  .entry-meta {
      display: none;
  }

  You are on the right track, but in Kent, a different CSS selector is required (CSS is generally theme specific. Change what you have now to this and the date and author stuff will go away.

  .postmetadata {
      display: none;
  }

  I’ll also offer the following link, which has a few brief screencasts to help you get started using the web inspector tool built into modern browsers. It is an invaluable tool when doing CSS work.

  Thank you so much! It worked beautifully. I have one more thing I would like to change, and that is to delete or hide the profile information at the bottom of the post. Could you help me with that one?

  Hi there, the following CSS will hide the author profile information at the bottom of posts.

  .writer {
      display: none;
  }

  BTW, that is pulled from Users > My Profile in your dashboard, so removing it there would also make the profile at the bottom of posts disappear.

  Hi. I would like to do 2 things. Last week I got help with taking off postmetadata on posts. I have decided that I’d like to keep the reading-time but remove the by name on datewhich shows on the post page. Can I do that on the Kent theme?

  The second thing I would like to do is remove the Category Archive for part and just have the name of the category, and how to make the text a little bit smaller.

  I wish this could be done in a cleaner way as the author and date is showing just for a split second when the page loads. Give it a try and see what you think.

  .postmetadata {
  	visibility: hidden;
  }
  .postmetadata .reading-time {
  	visibility: visible;
  }

  I see what you mean about it showing for just a split second. That isn’t a problem at all. I appreciate your help with that.

  On the second thing, is it possible to remove the Category Archive for part and just have the name of the category showing; and to tell me how to make that text just a bit smaller.

  Sorry, no it isn’t. The entire string of text, including the category name is in a single h1 element. There is some CSS that can sort of do this, but not by character count, but by a dimension (px) and with responsive width themes, and with users being able to change zoom levels and default text sizes in their browsers, you would need to do it by character count.

  I sorta figured that but thought I’d ask. I did figure out how to make the text smaller tho. Continuing to learn CSS.

  Thanks for your help. Appreciated.
