  Hi there,
  Use the following CSS:

  .entry-footer .byline {
  display: none;
  }

  Thank you. I’ve done it: it has removed the author, but not the date.

  Any idea how to remove the date also on every post?

  Thanks a lot for your help

  Hi there! In Customize > CSS, you can add the following to hide the post date:

  .entry-footer .posted-on {
  	display: none;
  }

  Let me know if you have any questions! :)

  Thank you again,
  that has now removed the date from the actual post,
  but not yet from the short version of the post on the front page (where it says ‘continue reading’)

  What would be the CSS for that?
  Thanks!

  Hi there,
  Try this CSS:

  .content-area .entry-meta{
  display: none;
  }

  Thank you kindly everyone.
  Altogether these 3 CSS commands have fixed it.

  Now I can post without author and date. Very helpful.

  Actually, with this last CSS code it has now also removed the tag on the front page posts below the featured posts.

  The tag should be on top of the title (see canard demo).

  How to get that back, without displaying author and date?
  Thanks!

  Sorry, I mean the category. So last comment should read:

  Hi there!

  To remove the date from the front page posts, add this CSS:

  .entry-date {
  	display: none;
  }

  I noticed when using that CSS to remove the date there on a post that has comments turned on, that leaves a / there that you may want to hide too (example on this post: Witte Wijnen & Rosé), so here is the CSS for that just in case:

  span.comments-link::before {
  	display: none;
  }

  Thank you Sarah, once again very helpful.
  It worked!

  Have now turned off comments on all posts, so the ‘/’ appearing is not a worry anymore.
