  how do I remove “estimated reading time” (Kent theme) from each post? it’s default that it appears in each post but i’d like to NOT include that.
  thanks!

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

  Howdy,

  You can add this to the Appearance->Customize->CSS option on your site:

  .postmetadata {
  	display: none;
  }
  
  .single .postmetadata {
  	display: inline;
  }

  This removes the reading time from all pages, but adds back that area on the single post page (which displays the name, date, and link to comments instead of the reading time). You can just copy/paste that in at the end of what’s already present.

  One benefit of having a premium theme is direct access to the theme’s developer as well. You can ask them questions directly at http://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/forum/kent

  If you have any questions, please let me know. Cheers!

  Sure thing. Add this after what you added before:

  #main article.sticky:after {
  border: none;
  }

  Cheers!

  again, thank you! last question…any way to widen the width of the main column? (not the header)
  i’m designing a photography blog and i’d like to display images at the largest scale possible.

  thanks!

  Hi,

  You could try adding:

  #main {
  max-width: none;
  }

  I think that would do it for you. If not, could you ask either in the theme’s support page ( http://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/forum/kent ) or in our CSS forum ( https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization ).

  Cheers!

  you must be sick of me now…one more question: how do I remove this from my posts – “By val weiss photography on November 18, 2013 • ( Leave a comment ) “
  it shows up just underneath the title of the post.

  thanks!

  :-) No problem.

  Take out this that we added before:

  .single .postmetadata {
  	display: inline;
  }

  Cheers!

  hello again…can you tell me how to create a wider width on the Spun theme for the context of my posts? I don’t want to change the width of the main page, only the posts (I’m a photographer and want to display my images as large as possible.)

  Thanks!

  Howdy,

  You can change the value by adding this:

  .single .hentry {
  width: 700px;
  }

  700px is the default, so bumping it up will increase the main content width.

  perfect. thank you. any way I can bump it over to the left side more? it’s wider now but shifting only over to the right.

  thanks!
