Can I hide the author of a post?

[Dandelion222]

We would prefer not to show an author name with the posts. Is there a setting where we can turn this feature off?

Also, the featured image shows on the general news posts page, but not on the post page for just that story. Is that correct? Shouldn’t the featured image show in both pages?

Hi Celeste,

You can take out the author. Here’s how:

1. Go to the Appearance section in your WordPress dashboard and click on Customize.
2. Look down for the advanced section and click on it. Then choose Custom CSS.
3. In the box there, add this:

   
   span.author {
   	display: none;
   }
   

4. Save your changes.

That should remove the author from your posts. The featured image does show in archives, but is not present in the “single view” of each post. That is correct.

Have a great weekend,
Bill

Glad to hear that did the trick 🙂
