    Hello,
    I am trying to use the Oxygen theme like a complete static website. I really love the ‘magazine’ style of the theme with the big pictures etc.
    The website where I can use some help with is bawa.byethost32.com
    I am making this website for a friend and don’t get any money for it. It is just for fun because I would like to find out how WordPress works. Sorry if I make any mistakes in my English.
    The things I want to change to make it a good static website:

    1. Remove date, author and category from posts (or link the ‘featured images’ of the front page to pages, but don’t think this is possible). I used this plugin: the date exclusion SEO (https://bluecowhosting.com/blog/wordpress-plugins/date-exclusion-seo-plugin/). This one worked, but left the author and category. Right now I deactivated the plugin again) Is there a way to remove this line completely and make it look like a real page? I don’t mind making a post and a page that looks to be the same, the text won’t change that much because it is a static website.

    2. Is it possible to remove ‘recent articles’ and ‘more articles’ on the front page? I tried to figure this out in the other posts on this forum, but they tell me to make a child theme in my wordpress folder on my computer, but I don’t have the wordpress folder on my computer (probably because this is not the computer I started on?) Do I need to download wordpress on this computer and will I get the oxygen theme folder on this computer (i downloaded this theme true the wp-admin dashboard).

    3. Is it possible to remove the ‘comments are closed…… ‘ from the posts? Same as 2. found it a couple of times, but need the child theme solution.

    4. Is it possible to remove the –> ‘text’ and <– ‘text’ under the posts? I will not use it if I use them like a page instead of a post.

    5. Last thing I want to delete the date from the featured slider, but I found that a couple of times at this fora too, only the child theme problem again.

    ok, worked it out all by myself ??

    Don’t think it is possible to like the featured images on the front page to link to a page, so found a way to make the child theme work (my FTP put it in a different folder, so couldn’t find the themes before) and made the posts behind the images (almost) the same as the pages I wanted them to link to.

    If there is anyone who wants to know how i fixed it, just ask.

    I am looking to remove the Author from each post and the date from the Featured posts in the Slideshow. I would love to hear how you accomplished this. Thanks!

    I would also like to know how to remove the Author, Time and Date from the post.
    Can you explain how you were able to do this. Thank You

    @darasy : I found that customizing the CSS is a clean method for me to accomplish what I want rather than using a child theme. Adding the following to the Custom CSS under “Appearance | Edit CSS” will hide Author, Time, and Date.

    .byline {
    visibility: hidden;
}

    I will always advice you to work with a child theme, because a update will automatically change your CSS. So first make a child theme!

    It is a while ago when I changed it, I think I took this part out of the post.php:

    <?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( 'byline', '<div class="byline">' . __( '[entry-published] · by [entry-author] · in [entry-terms taxonomy="category" before=""] [entry-edit-link before=" · "]', 'oxygen' ) . '</div>' ); ?>

    But PLEASE use a child theme

    I am using the Child theme (for the first time) as recommended by @zoedor. If so, then what would I need to change to remove the date and author? Do I do something in the Editor? I can understand how to remove something from the main theme, but in the Child theme, I only see the functions.php and style.css, but I don’t think I should touch anything there.
