 * Hello,
 * This is embarrassing but I cannot determine how to remove the .meta data from
   the posts. All I’m looking to do is remove the date and author.
 * Thanks for the help!

 * The easiest way to do that is by hiding it using “display: none;” in the CSS 
   code – if you post a link to your site, someone can help you with the specifics.

 * Thanks WPyogi.
 * I’ve attempted to do that already. The link is: [emergentutility.com](http://emergentutility.com)
   Perhaps I’m completely missing something. Thanks for any and all help!
 * Here’s an example of the code from the CSS file:
 * .entry-meta {
    clear: both; display: none; } .entry-meta a { display: none; }.
   entry-header .entry-meta { border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; color: #8a8a8a; font-
   family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-size: 1rem; letter-spacing:
   0.05em; line-height: 2.4em; padding-bottom: 2.4em; text-transform: uppercase;
   display: none; } .entry-header .entry-meta a { display: none; }

 * Looks like you have caching on your site – so you need to clear that always after
   making changes. Also, are you using Custom CSS or a Child Theme – you don’t want
   to make changes in theme files or they will be overwritten when the theme is 
   updated.
 * I don’t see any author or date on your posts – so it’s likely working – just 
   a cache issue. If not, can you post back with specific page/location in case 
   I’m missing something?

 * Yea, it’s working now. W3 was causing a glitch. I disabled it a viola!
 * Thanks for your help!
