Remove date, comment count, author, plus other stuff
-
Hi, I wasn’t sure whether to include all these in one post or many…
I use the Untitled theme.
1. I want to remove the dash above the post title on, for example, this page – http://snigglysny.com/category/memoirs/. That dash used to be between the date and the comments count, which I managed to remove (separately).
2. I want to remove the “by Dr. Brainy” above the post title on, for example, this page – http://snigglysny.com/2015/06/28/michael-jackson/
3. I want the page title font to not be so crazily large on mobile phone on, for example, this page – http://snigglysny.com/category/other-things/. The mobile phone view on the site looks great, but when I look at it on my mobile phone the font is huge. I amended the page title in CSS code so that it doesn’t say “Cateogory Archive:” using this code:
.category .page-title {
margin-top: 20px;
}.category .page-title {
font-size: 0;
}.category .page-title span {
font-size: 4rem;
}4. I want the home page to be static page rather than a blog page. When I create a post I want it to show up on the Category page that I choose for it rather than on a blog page.
Any help you could provide would be amazing! I’ve looked at heaps of pages trying to do this stuff but it’s got me beat.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
1. This code will hide the entire entry meta, including the dash, comments, and the other stuff you already have managed to hide:
.entry-meta { display: none; }2. The code above will also solve this issue for you. ;)
3. You just need to adept the font size.
.category .page-title span { font-size: 3rem; }Or whatever value you wish:
.category .page-title span { font-size: 20px; }4. You should read this support page if you want to use a static page as a front page instead of a blog:
<a href=”https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/
“>https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/I hope this helps!
Best regards,
Michael

Thank you so much for this response.
The fixes to 1 and 2 worked perfectly, and I haven’t looked at 4 yet.At 3, it seems to be a bit more complicated than the font size. I’m not sure if it’s because I altered the margin top (which I did because I took out “Category Archive:”) or whatever, but the issue is with the Information Design page where the title is split over two lines (‘Information’ on one line and ‘Design’ on the next) and the gap between the lines is huge.
Thanks again for the speedy and great response.

Sorry – extra questions:
5. I created a new home page – thanks, that worked really well – but I’d like to get rid of the Like button, and the “Be the first to like this.”
6. I looked at the Custom Menus page, and it got me wondering whether instead of creating Category-pages I should have just created Pages. BUT – when I add a post can I just assign that to a Page as easily as I can to a Category-page?
7. Following on from that, the page titles on the Category-pages sit differently – when I make the margin the same on Category-pages as it is for the About or Home page (i.e. it all looks the same on my desktop), the margin is HUGE on my mobile. If I make the margin smaller it looks weird on the desktop… This may be a part of the same issue I mentioned above in my earlier post… -

On 3, since you are using the Mobile Theme at Appearance > Mobile, we have to construct a bit of a different approach to adjust the font size for the page titles. Add this to your custom CSS and then test on your mobile. I’ve made it intentionally small so that you will be able to see the change. You can then adjust it as you desire.
.mobile-theme .category .page-title span { font-size: 20px; }6. …when I add a post can I just assign that to a Page as easily as I can to a Category-page?
No, categories is really the only way to do this.

Since Untitled is a responsive theme, I would suggest disabling the Mobile Theme at Appearance > Mobile. Responsive themes automatically adjust for the screen/window they are being viewed on, so there really isn’t a reason to activate the Mobile Theme, unless you just like that look. Let me know on that.
