Remove author and date metadata on blog posts

  • My blog posts show the author name and words “posted on” (I have gotten rid of the date). I have tried a couple of plugins but I am using the Gateway theme which must be a bit too new for these plugins as they don’t work. Rescue Themes, developers of the Gateway theme, do not provide support for themes acquired for free. So, I need some help in getting these bits of metadata off my posts so they don’t show up in Google.

    My site is https://puddletownreviews.com. Thanks for any and all suggestions.

  • Typically, what you’d do to hide the author’s name and “posted on” would be to add the following to your custom CSS (Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS):

    
.entry-meta {
	display: none;
}

    That will hide it from human users, but not from a ‘bot like Google, though I’m not sure why you’d want to hide it from Google, or what you mean by that.
