  Hi there, this will get you what you need.

  .entry-meta .posted-on, .entry-meta .byline {
      display: none;
  }
  .entry-meta .posted-on + span::before, .entry-meta .byline + span::before {
      display: none;
  }

  Hi there Thesacredpath.
  I tried that method of yours but it didn’t worked.
  I have an website on wordpress.com and as you know it’s self-hosted.
  thank you

  @thesacredpath, thank you. It worked perfectly!

  @Idalbania, I have the .com too. I upgraded my site and added the code into the CSS box and it worked perfectly.

  @ckjacksonwrites Is it for the future posts or for all the posts?

  @ldalbania all of my past posts changed, I didn’t post new content yet.

  Hi @ldalbania, if you are talking about https://ldalbania.com/, you are using a different theme, and since CSS is generally theme specific, can I ask you to create a new thread in the CSS Forum? Many thanks in advance.

  …and as you know it’s self-hosted.

  If you are talking about a site that is self-hosted on another web host, there are separate forums for those at http://wordpress.org/support/ .
