    is there a way to remove the “posted on (date) by (author)” on a post? I can right click “inspect” and remove the coding but it doesn’t stick. Can I purchase the CSS customizer and remove the code from the posts that way?
    Thanks.

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

    Yes, we do!

    I don’t know anything about CSS, but I just got the same problem before, and that’s the code I found:

    .entry-date {
    display: none;
    }

    .entry-meta a {
    display: none;
    }

    .byline a {
    display: inline;
    }

    Please try it. At least it works for me! I hope it can help you!

    CSS is theme specific so what works in one them might not work in another. Saying that, some CSS classes are used pretty consistently so it’s worth trying just to see.

    You need to be on one of the paid plans in order to apply CSS changes but the WordPress team are working on a new feature called Content Options which will allow you to hide the date via the customiser (source).

    As mentioned in the other thread sit tight and keep an eye on the WordPress.com blog for further announcements.

    If you do want to try to make the changes now with CSS then either make your site public so I can take a look or let me know which theme you’re using so I can suggest some code based on the theme demo site.
