    hi

    is it possible to remove author info from posts, so the info about the author is not visible in public.

    and also can you make tags invisible on posts?

    thanks a lot!

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

    Hi there,

    You can use Custom CSS (part of your site’s WordPress.com Premium plan) to customize your site like that. If you’re new to CSS, we have tips for getting started here:

    I can also help you get started with those two changes. In CSS, you can find the specific element you want to remove and then use the CSS rule “display: none;” to remove it from the page. Here’s the CSS you need to remove the author info from posts:

    .byline {
display: none;
}

    Here’s the CSS you need to remove the section of the post with the tags:

    footer.entry-meta {
display: none;
}

    If you have any other CSS questions, most of our CSS support is done in the CSS Customization forum. You can post the changes you want to make there, and the expert staff and volunteers in that forum can help you find the CSS you need.

    Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)

    thanks Rachel

    I’ve tried what you suggested and it’s perfect with the tags removed but author info below the posts is still visible.

    I wanted to post a screenshot but don’t know how to do it here..?!

    Ah, I see what you mean now. Sorry about that! The code I gave you will remove the author’s name from below the post title. To remove that author section at the bottom of the post you can use this:

    .author-info {
display: none;
}

    Please let me know if that works for you! :)
