  Hi there, I’m a beginner and almost in tears trying to learn. Been trying to remove the author and post date on each post.
  I found previous question and found this…
  .posted-on, .author.byline {display: none;}

  However, I don’t know how to find the code. Please help! TIA

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

  Aww, hang in there, we’re here to help!

  The elements you need to target in your CSS vary from theme to theme. In Spun, the code you’d need to remove the date and author on single posts is:

  .single .post-date, .single .byline {
    display: none;
  }

  You’ll need the Premium or Business plan to use custom CSS on WordPress.com.

  Here are some very helpful posts that will help you learn how to target the right elements so you can customize them with CSS:
