 * I’ve created a new website recently. So far, I’m pretty content with the details
   but there’s one thing that bothering me and I have no idea how to fix it.
 * There is an author section at the bottom of every post. I played around with 
   the settings and some plugins, but I can’t seem to get rid of it. One of the 
   plugins was able to rid of the author display, but the box still appeared. How
   can I get rid of this box so that nothing is displayed at the bottom of the page.
   I’ve already removed the ‘Leave a Reply’ section from the website.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fauthor-section%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * You have to contact your theme’s support for help to check whether they provide
   a way to disable the author section.
 * Some themes will show the author box/section if you enter user biography information
   in your profile. You can try to remove that information and see if the section
   disappears.
 * Thank you

 * Hi, I checked the website you shared.
 * Try adding this custom css code.
 *     ```
       .author-post {
           visibility: hidden;
       }
       ```
   
 * If you don’t know where to put your custom css, install this plugin
    [Simple Custom CSS](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/)
 * Paste the code and update it.
 * Remember, always backup your site before you update any code on your website.
 * Here is a plugin [BackUp WordPress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/backupwordpress/)
   you can use to backup your site.
 * Hope this helps.
    Cheers
