  Using the origin theme
  Would like to hide the author meta-data on the main page and on individual posts. I have tried such CSS code as:

  .entry-meta .sep, .entry-meta .entry-date {
  display: none;
  }

  and

  .byline span.author.vcard {
  display: none;
  border-bottom: 0 solid #fff;
  }

  These codes have removed the author, but leave the word “by” in it’s place. I would like to remove the author and the word by so it isn’t by nobody. Follow me?

  Same and different, I would like to remove the tags from the main page as well. I would like to keep the tags active, and at this point I think that I would like to keep the tags in the posts’ footers, but would like them removed off the main page.

  Any advice is much appreciated.

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

  Please try this style and see if the result is what you want:

  .byline {
     visibility:hidden;
  }
  
  .byline .author {
      display:none;
  }
  
  .byline .published, .byline a[rel="category tag"], .byline .comments-link {
       visibility:visible;
  }
  
  .byline a[rel="category tag"]::before {
      content: "Posted in ";
      font-weight:bold;
      margin-left:-40px;
  }

  This worked to eliminate the author and “by” note, but for some reason the tags are now overlapping. I tried to change the margin but it didn’t stop the overlap. Also, it says “Posted in” in front of each tag, when I would prefer it to say it just once followed by a list of tags. I will try to fiddle with it, but if you know the fix to it that’d be great. I’ve left it overlapped so someone could maybe identify the problem. Thanks again

  Oops, I did not realize the “Posted in” repeats for every category name. We can fix it by updating the last style in my previous update to the following:`

  .byline a[rel=”category tag”]:nth-of-type(1)::before {
  content: “Posted in “;
  font-weight:bold;
  margin-left:-40px;
  }`

  Could you add multiple categories to posts so I can see how they are overlapping so we can fix it :-)

  Here is the formatted CSS:

  .byline a[rel="category tag"]:nth-of-type(1)::before {
  content: "Posted in ";
  font-weight:bold;
  margin-left:-40px;
  }

  Woops, looks like another admin took out the multiple categories. I’ve used your latest suggestion, added a few categories to the posts, and everything looks great. Thanks.
