How do I hide the author name from the home page as well as single posts (all single posts), but manage to keep the date visible?

Thanks so much.

You will require an annually renewable custom design upgrade. See here for details:

After you purchase the upgrade at > Dashboard > Store please use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can copy and paste your text into a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need.

Oh boy, aren’t we a pair? ;)

Not to worry as there are Volunteers who answer CSS editing questions and if they don’t then Staff will.

Hi @dhartounian

I took a look at a few single posts on your site like this one, but could not see the author byline. Were you able to hide it?

Let me know if you need a hand still or if you have any questions. :)

staff-totoro, Hi, thanks for getting back to me! At present, the way I found to hide the author name also automatically hides the date, and that’s not what I want…

I want to show the date, but hide the author name…

Here is the code I have used so far:
```
.entry-author-link {
	display: none;
}
```
Thanks in advance for the help!

You’re close! Try removing what you have in your custom CSS now, namely:
```
.entry-author-link {
     display: none;
}
.entry-meta {
     display: none;
}
```
And adding this instead to target the author byline only:
```
.entry-meta .byline {
     display: none;
}
```
Let me know if that’s what you’re after.
