Hey! I’m wanting to remove the tags that are seen on my posts as well as hide the name of my theme I have on my blog.

Please advise how to do this!

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

I’m fairly new to WP myself, but I think you can fix that with a little CSS magic:
```
.posted-on {
	display: none !important;
}

.site-info a:last-child {
	display: none !important;
}
```
I just gave it a shot on my site and it worked.

You’ll need to add this to your site’s CSS. I believe that should be under the “Customize” -> “Custom Design” in the WP.com interface or under “Appearance” -> “CSS” from the dashboard. But I think it’s different for different template so that may not be exact. If you want to remove both the theme name and the “Blog at WordPress.com” you can alter the second half of the code to be:
```
.site-info a:last-child {
	display: none !important;
}
```
Hope this helps! Remember that CSS needs to be exact, so a missing period or semicolon will cause it to fail.

CORRECTION: that second snippet of code to remove both items should be:
```
.site-info {
	display: none !important;
}
```

As for removing the tags:

If you want to remove the tags only:
```
.entry-footer .tags-links {
	display: none !important;
}
```
If you want to remove both the category and the tags:
```
.entry-footer {
	display: none !important;
}
```
Also, I just re-read your question, you don’t need that first half of the code from my first post. For some reason I thought you wanted to remove the post date. So you don’t need this part:
```
.posted-on {
	display: none !important;
}
```
That will remove the dates from the entries.

Hi,

Just want to add something. Your blog is beautiful and I don’t want it getting in any sort of trouble. :)

Removing text from the footer like WordPress.com credits and the theme name/author is not allowed as per WordPress.com policy. You are allowed to edit the font and style the area, but not remove it.

One of the FAQs:

May I remove the Admin Bar, credit links such as ‘Blog at WordPress.com’, theme, font, or toolbar links?

All WordPress.com bloggers are required to maintain the Admin Bar (the dark bar that appears at the top of WordPress.com sites when logged in) as well as credit links in the footer, even our VIP bloggers. Please do not hide or alter text or links for the footer credits or the toolbar.
Modifying the style of the footer text (i.e. colors and font size) is fine as long as it’s still readable. Using CSS, you can also add content like a copyright notice to the existing footer. If you would like to do that, you can ask in the CSS Customization forum and Staff or our community volunteers would be happy to help you do that.

@heyitscarlyrae, @ehtis is correct. Can you please remove the following from your custom CSS?
```
.site-info {
	display: none !important;
}
```
Many thanks in advance. If you wish to restyle it and need help with that, please let us know.
