  Hi,

  I would like to get rid or hide the by line and name that appears next to every post on my Opti Theme. Can someone help me?

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

  Hi there, this will hide the byline in Opti, but I can’t really hide the small bullet that was between the byline and the comments part of it.

  .byline {
      display: none;
  }

  We could hide that entire line with the following.

  postmetadata {
      display: none;
  }

  Hi ryanhyatt

  Add the following line of custom CSS.

  .postmetadata {
      display: none;
  }

  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.

  It worked, thanks!

  What I would really like to do is have the byline but be able to attribute names to different users whose names would be linked to their own site, etc.

  Any ideas how I can do that?

  Thanks again,

  Ryan

  Hi Ryan, there isn’t a way to make the byline in the theme do that, so my suggestion is to add a byline at the top of the post content and link it to their site.
