  Is there a way that I can turn off the details with a post? i.e. I don’t want a post to say who the author is just under the title, is there a way to move all of this info to either the bottom of the post or turn it off completely?

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

  Hi there!

  It’s possible to hide this information with some custom CSS. If you’re not familiar with CSS, it’s a coding language that’s used across the web to change the appearance of websites. Here at WordPress.com, it’s possible to add custom CSS to change certain parts of your theme’s design:

  To add custom CSS, you firstly need to go to My Site in WordPress.com then choose the option to Customize In the left sidebar. You’ll reach what’s known as the WordPress.com Customizer:

  https://wordpress.com/customize/gospelpatronsociety.wordpress.com

  From here, click on the CSS tab. Below the introductory text in the resulting editor, copy and paste the following CSS:

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

  The above snippet will hide all of the meta information beneath your posts. If you just want the author’s name to be hidden then the following can be used instead:

  i.fa.fa-user, .byline, .author {
    display: none;
  }

  Hope this helps! Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any extra questions around that.
