 * Hi [@ossyg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ossyg/),
 * Go to Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS (the menu labels might be different
   in your language) and add the code below:
 * `.comments-container, .respond-container { display: none !important; }`
 * Let me know if that does it.

 * This what works for me:
 *     ```
       .single-post .post-author {
           display: none;
       }
       ```
