 * How do I remove meta data (date, time and author) from posts? I have searched
   this forum and have tried inserting code, plugins, and a variety of other suggestions
   on here? I have spent a ton of time trying to figure this out. Here is a link
   to one page of the blog posts. [http://www.shaverswanson.com/category/trademarks/](http://www.shaverswanson.com/category/trademarks/)
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Hi Scott,
 * Have you tried adding this code to your CSS?
 * #content > div.post-info {
    display: none!important; }
 * Hope this helps, Greg.

 * Hi Greg,
 * I just tried that and it did not work. Is there somewhere in particular I need
   to add that?
 * Thanks!

 * Do you have a section of your website where you can edit your CSS? For example
   I have “Custom CSS” under my “Appearance” tab.
 * Try adding this code in there:
 *  .post-info {
    display: none; }

 * Not a good place to change anything – your changes will be erased when the theme
   is updated. Use a plugin like this one:

 * I installed that plugin, pasted in Greg’s code, and it worked. Thanks everyone.
