    using Retro-Fitted theme and I do have the Custom CSS upgrade. Is there a way to suppress the Author Info on ByLine? I’ve tried

    span.byline {
    display:none
    }

    and that doesn’t affect anything.
    thanks for your help

    You’re close! In the Retro-fitted theme, the byline class is used in a div tag, not a span tag like you have it listed. So if you just take off that “span” part, it should work to remove the entire byline:

    .byline {
    display: none;
    }

    To remove just the author info though, that’s a bit more tricky because the “By” and “on” parts of the text aren’t contained in an HTML rule that can be targeted very easily inthat theme. This might work for you, give this a try:

    .byline {
    visibility: hidden;
    }
    
    .byline a {
    visibility: visible;
    float: left;
    padding-right: 5px;
    }
    
    .byline .author {
    display: none;
    }
