  Underneath my post headings is displayed the time of post, author, tags, etc. Is there somewhere one can select all these details not to show?

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

  Hi there,

  Changing the post meta information (the author, tags, etc) that you mention is not a default option within the theme. However, it can be accomplished using CSS. In order to do that, you would need to purchase the Custom Design upgrade described here:

  Here’s how the site would look with that information removed:

  

  if you’d like to go that route, I’m happy to provide the CSS necessary!

  Alternatively, you could explore our theme directory to find an alternative theme that does not feature post meta.

  Let me know how you want to proceed!

  Thanks Jeremey, I’d like to choose a new theme. How do I know if a theme doesn’t feature post meta?

  The easiest way to determine the extent of the post meta information would be to view the demo of the site. When you hover over a theme in our theme showcase here, you should see an option for “Demo”. Unfortunately, there isn’t a filter for teasing out which themes hide post meta information by default.

  Just a note, you’re likely going to find that every theme (or most) have post meta underneath the post title. However, some offer more information than others. For example, on Oslo, you’ll notice that the post meta is shorter and more hidden (at the bottom of the post):

  If you run into any specific questions regarding any of our themes, please let me know!
