    I know this has been posted before but when I search forum I only find my own thread which was miplaces yesterday(:

    I need to remove the big square which consist of “Author, catergories and tags” on my posts – could someone help me please?

    I do not know why this is only an issue on some of my posts and not all of them(?)

    Here`s an example – http://treningonline.no/2015/09/16/kundenes-meninger/

    Side-question – is removing pingbacks visually from my posts also a CSS?
    If thats the case I need help with this also
    Here`s an example – http://treningonline.no/kontakt/

    Hi there, the following will get rid of author, cats and tags on single post pages and leave the post navigation (next/previous). 

    .single .post-meta time, .single .post-meta .post-categories, .single .post-tags {
    display: none !important;
}
.single .post-nav {
    border-top: none;
    margin-top: 0;
    padding-top: 0;
}

    If you do not want pingbacks to appear, first off go to Settings > Discussion and under Default article settings, uncheck “Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks) on new articles” and save. This will prevent pingbacks from appearing on all future posts.

    On existing posts, open them in the post editor and in the discussion module, uncheck pingbacks and update the post. If the Discussion module is not showing, click on Screen Options at upper right and activate that module.

    Thank you for the pingbacks removal (:

    About the CSS – I`ll be totally square with you
    This is my first attempt ever on CSS..

    I am reading up on the basics but so far it looks like ants crawling on a piece of paper haha..
    Hopefully I`ll learn a little bit after I finish my first attempt –

    Could you please lower down the above explaination a bit for me?
    I have pasted the code you gave me inside the post (normal edit) itself and also tried the custimization – CSS.
    It doesnt give me anything..
    -Also, when in custimization I cannot open the issued-posts which sits inside a linked post…so…haha..

    I`m not asking you to learn me all this, I will do it myself over time, I just need to see and do it one time – I will learn a lot from that only I think(:

    Haha – a bit embaressed over here

    Thank you for maybe-taking-your-time with me(:

    Hi, and sorry for not explaining better. The code that I gave above would be added in the Customizer at CSS. Click on My Sites in the top admin bar and then click on Customize and then when the Customizer opens, click on CSS. Delete all the informational text in that window, and paste in the custom CSS.

    And no worries we are all beginners with lots of things throughout our lives. I was a beginner with CSS at one point, just like you are now.

    Holy smoke! it almost worked perfectly!

    Now, if you check out this post there is still the Author-square left but everything else is gone (:

    I have a couple of follow-up questions haha (:

    -Is there a way to remove the square that is left also?

    -If I have to add another CSS code in Custimization, do I just paste it beneath the code that is already there now?

    and last

    -The code I entered affected all my posts – is there a different way to do this so that I may choose it to affect single posts only?

    Again, thank you very much!

    Are you wanting to hide that entire dark area (with the author on the left and the navigation buttons on the right in the other grey area?

    Yes it is possible to hide them only on certain posts. We can do that by using the unique post id CSS class defined in the opening HTML body selector of the particular post.

    Oh, and yes, any additional CSS you can just paste in below what you already have at Customize > CSS.

    yes I would like that(:

    I am the only Author of this website and I have an “about me” page…which is not finished yet by the way.

    I want the posts to appear as clean as possible.
    The whole gray square is totally unessesary to have there(:

    Ok, we can do that. Change the first rule in the CSS I had given you to this.
