    I am trying to remove all meta data from my blog posts. I tried to use the following CSS code and it works on my customiser preview but doesn’t seem to save when I publish… Does anyone have advice for this?

    .post__meta .post-categories {
	display:none;
}
.post-author.meta-wrapper,
.post-comment-link.meta-wrapper{
    display:none;
}
.post-date
{
  display: none;
}

    Thanks!

  • Hi @savz01, I hope you are doing great,

    The code provided should do the trick so the only question here is whether the code is saved properly in the Additional CSS tab and not overridden.

    I can see that now the metadata does not show up any longer: https://imgur.com/PPyPVYa

    Can you please confirm if you were able to resolve this issue?

    Thanks again,

    Dear Andrija,

    thank you for your reply. Checking on another browser, Chrome, I can see all the metadata is off, so it might be to do with the browsers I have been using (Firefox and Safari). I can see from checking the website on a smartphone the metadata is off there too. I ended up manually turning off the comments (under Settings > Discussion) and category metadata (with each individual post), but name and date still appear on the browsers I am using.

    I’m not seeing any name/date in Chrome or Firefox. It could be that your browser has the styles cached. You can try clearing your browser cache, or try opening the browser in a private browsing window to see if the changes take effect then. You can just clear the cached web content, no need to clear out the cookies.

    Hi Evan,

    I thought restarting the browser would clear the cached content but I just did it following the guide you shared and it worked! The metadata is not there. Many thanks.

    @savz01

    No problem at all. Glad I could help point you in the right direction. Have a great day!
