Hi Olga, it looks like you’ve switched to the Triton Lite theme which shows the date but not the author name. Are you still looking to hide the date on each post?

Hi there, I didn’t see any posts on your site, but working off of the Swell Demo site, the following should hide the author and date from single post pages for you..
```
#main header.main .meta, #main header.main .meta p {
    display: none;
}
```

Hi ! I have exactly the same problem, but (I’d like to eliminate all the bottom block in single pages, with the “about the author”, “category” and all) with the theme “Radcliffe” on this blog :

(beware : it’s currently full of pictures the wrong res, don’t panic and don’t bleed too much from your eyes)

Any idea of what I should add in the custom CSS ?

Your wisdom is welcome, wise people of the internet. Thanks a lot if you can share it !

@stukka

Could you try this CSS to hide the post meta information from the footer:
```
footer.post-meta {
display: none;
}
```

Hi– I’m also using the Radcliffe theme and I used this CSS to hide “About the Author,” categories and tags from the footer:

footer.post-meta {
display: none;
}

BUT…this got rid of the “next” and “previous” links. How can I get those back without bringing back the “About the Author,” categories and tags?

@rachelwils could you try this styles and see how it goes:
```
.meta-block.post-author, .meta-block h3.meta-title, .meta-block p.post-categories, .post-nav:before {
display: none;
}

.post-meta .meta-block {
 border: none;
}

nav.post-nav.clearfix {
margin: -180px;
}

.single .hentry, .error404 .post, .page .hentry {
padding-bottom: 0px;
}
```
Do you wish to get the next and previous posts in the same? I tried this unsuccessfully. But if you really need it, I can try little bit more time or some other volunteer can help you.

This is great! The only problem is that this still leaves me with tags. I want to get rid of the tags. Can you suggest a solution?

Ah, the post I checked has no tags. So I missed them :-)

Anyway here is the first style modified to include the selector for tags (.meta-block p.post-tags) :
```
.meta-block.post-author, .meta-block h3.meta-title, .meta-block p.post-categories, .meta-block p.post-tags, .post-nav:before {
display: none;
}
```
