    I’d like to remove the ‘Posted on’ byline text in Sight Theme using CSS. The CSS codes I found on the forum so far didn’t seem to work for my theme, any advice? Thanks.

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

    Hi Gizeyat,

    Did you solve this issue? I can’t find the Posted on byline text when I access your website page using the link above.

    Hello Maria,

    Thanks for the response.

    Well, I took out the whole byline from the CSS and the ones that you currently see on the website are all manually written, because the default byline has the ‘posted on’ text, and I couldn’t take that out while keeping the rest.

    Hi there, you can give the following a try which makes the Posted on [author] invisible and keeps the Comments link.

    Hi there, I don’t see any code there to try out.

    Also, I want to keep the ‘By’, ‘Author’ and the ‘Dateline’, but just want to get rid of the ‘Posted on’ text.

    Thanks.

    Oops, that’s what I get when I get in a hurry. Remove the rule you added to hide all of the meta data and then add this

    .single .entry-meta {
        visibility: hidden;
    }
    .single .comments-link, .single .author, .single .entry-date {
        visibility: visible;
        float: left;
    }

    and see what you think.
