Cleaning up my blog post

Samiyoyo,

It looks like the second title is actually the alt tag to an image, when your are in the Post Editor, is there a odd image square at the top of the post?

As for the name, date and comment count: I’m not sure what theme you are using, but if it has an options panel, you might want to look and see if there is a setting to hide ‘Post Meta’. Turning this off might work, otherwise you will need to edit the template files to remove the Post meta parts of the template.

Let me know how you get on.

Drew,
Thanks for the feedback. I’m not sure I am following your guide correctly. To get to the Editor, I clicked on “Posts” then “All Posts” and then the post in question. This takes me to Edit Post and I don’t see an “odd image square” sitting atop the post. I also tried “Appearance” and then clicked on “Editor”. Here, I see a box titled “Revelation WordPress: Stylesheet (style.css)” and it does not appear this is the “Editor” you are referring to.

Regarding the Author/Comment Count/Date box, Revelation Theme provides a checkbox to “Hide Author Box in the setting. This box is currently checked but apparently it’s not doing anything.

If you think getting some screenshot will help, I can do so and post it at https://postimage.org/.

hey @drewwescott, just fyi links to sites are ok per the rules

@samiyoyo – when editing the post in question, can you please let us know what the Featured Image settings?

@drewwescott is correct that the img is reverting to it’s alt text. The image is within meta regiuon for the post so I don’t think we’re dealing with post content here

if you do not have a featured image currently set, try setting one and see if the theme requires that. if you do have one, try changing it or removing and

@bernbe01 Good catch, at the bottom right of the Edit Post I see “set featured image”. I clicked on this and found the 38 different images I used across the site. It’s not clear that any of the images is selected for the blog post or how to deselect assuming it’s selected. Further thoughts?

hey

so go back to the page/post, select add featured image, then go to your media, pick anything.

save/update the post

check out the page to see if it renders correctly with the image

if yes, then go back to the page/post and in the featured image box click remove featured image

save/update

review the page on the site

if at this time after just having removed the featured image if you still get the alt text for the featured image then i suggest reaching out to the theme dev as it would appear they are not accounting for when no featured image is set
