  Hi. I am trying to hide the author name on all my posts. Could someone help me with this?

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

  Sure :)

  .author.vcard {
      display: none;
  }
  .byline {
      display: none !important;
  }

  To add custom CSS

  Select Appearance > Customize > CSS from your Admin Dashboard and enter the custom CSS there.

  You need to be on the WordPress.com Premium Plan for custom CSS to save.

  So, unless I have a premium plan I cannot use this code?

  Yes. You are only able to preview the result on a free plan.

  Do you know how to do the same for the post type and date published?

  Hi @saynotosb32, since you are using a different theme, and since CSS is generally theme specific, can I ask you to create a new thread in the CSS Forum? Many thanks in advance.
