Want to remove author but not date from posts

I need help to remove the author from the home page and posts. I’ve tried with a million different snippets of custom CSS provided in this Forum as well as the Wordpress Forum, and nothing works. I’ve also tried the WP Meta and Date Remover plugin (this doesn’t work either!!). I don’t really want to remove date, just author, but I am desperate. I have been trying for days and nothing is working. Thank you!

Hi There,
Please use this plugin to create temporary access for us, its automatic login link and does not requires sharing your admin details. here is How To guide. at the and don’t forget about  “Set as private reply” at the bottom of the message box

Thanks. So the instructions you sent say I’m supposed to enter an email address, first name and last name and role but I don’t know what any of this information should be for you.

Good morning @abehringer

Please show me pages from where you want to remove the author and I will help you, I just need URL’s of the pages

5

Thanks @Noda. How can I share with you pages that aren’t published yet? I’m seeing the author name on previews of posts that are in draft state, not published. I’ve tried to include the urls of the preview pages in this message, but the system won’t let me send them in this message, it says “Forbidden, Message seems to be spam”. Please let me know if I have to publish the pages for you to access them. Thank you!

Good morning

Sorry about that, your problem about the forbidden message was already reported, we will fix it,
please send it on my mail (you will see it in my profile)

Hi @Noda I emailed you 2 days ago, did you receive it? Thanks

Sorry but no… most probably it felt in spam folder :frowning: (cleared this morning )

can you try to post it again here? and don’t use Http, try something like this, website dot com

Here are links to 2 posts I have in draft form:

intrepidmoney dot com /?p=1706&preview=true
intrepidmoney dot com /?p=1715&preview=true

If you need me to publish them, please let me know. Thank you!

Good evening

Most probably pages are not published, I get “Oops! That page can’t be found.” error and this means pages are not published or they do not exist

11

Yes, I’ve said several times they’re in draft form and asked if I should publish them first. I really don’t want to publish with my Wordpress user name showing, that means it’s public. Is that the only way to fix it?

12

Without this i can’t view them, another way is to provide access details on your site and i will check them from the dashboard, please use this plugin to create temporary access for us, its automatic login link and does not requires sharing your admin details. here is How To guide. at the and don’t forget about  “Set as private reply” at the bottom of the message box

Thanks. If I do publish them, I could publish them as public, private (only site admins and editors), or password-protected. Is “public” the only way you can see it, or would one of the other options work?

14

Yes, “public” is normall state of published post :slight_smile: you can use any method, i just want to see it

15

Yes, “public” is normall state of published post :slight_smile: you can use any method, i just want to see it

Here they are. I even installed a second plugin to hide the author name and that didn’t work either.

intrepidmoney dot com /2019/08/02/welcome-to-intrepid-money/

intrepidmoney dot com /2019/08/02/chocolate-cake-tiramisu/

I’d like to unpublish them as soon as you’re done, so please let me know. Thank you

hey there

Hope you are having a good day and thank you for your question :slight_smile:

Please add this CSS in appearance - customize - additional CSS

.single-post .entry-meta .posted-on {
visibility: visible;
}
.single-post .entry-meta {
visibility: hidden;
}

Thanks!

Thanks, that worked on the single posts, but I can still see the author name on the home page. Is there any CSS we can add to remove it there as well?

19

Hello

Well, if you want to hide them sitewide then use this css instead:

.entry-meta .posted-on {
visibility: visible;
}
.entry-meta {
visibility: hidden;
}

Thank you. For some reason, when I’m on the appearance - customize - additional css, and I replace the previous CSS with this latest one that is supposed to remove the author name sitewide, next to the Customize sidebar it shows the home page with the author name removed. However, if I look at the site itself at intrepidmoney dot com (not in WP Admin view) or I “View Site” while in the Wordpress Admin view, then I still see the author name on the home page. Any suggestions?
