 * I would like to get rid of the metadata on the individual posts. I’ve tried a
   few plugins, and I’ve tried editing the css style page…it doesn’t seem to work.
   I mus be missing something– can anyone give me some suggestions?

 * First I suggest using a child theme (if you aren’t already), might I suggest 
   the One-Click Child Theme. You can grab it using the plugins tab.
 * Be sure to have Gridster as your active theme first!
 * Once the plugin is installed and activated, go to Appearance >> Child Theme
    
   Name it “Gridster – child” (or whatever you want) and save. It will automatically
   activate the child theme for you.
 * Then go back to Appearance >> Child Theme
    Select “content-single.php” from the
   dropdown menu, click “Copy Template” Then go to Appearance >> Editor, click on“
   content-single.php”, find and remove…
 *     ```
       <ul id="meta">
       <li class="datemeta"><?php echo human_time_diff(get_the_time('U'), current_time('timestamp')) . ' ago'; ?></li>
       <li class="categorymeta">
       <?php _e('Posted in:','gridster-lite') ?>
       <?php the_category(', ') ?>
       </li>
       <li class="commentsmeta"><a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>">
       <?php comments_number( '0', '1', '%' ); ?>
       </a></li>
       <li class="authormeta">
       <?php _e('Author:','gridster-lite') ?>
       <a class="url fn n" href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url(get_the_author_meta('ID')); ?>">
       <?php the_author(); ?>
       </a></li>
       <li class="tagmeta">
       <?php the_tags('Tags:  ',', ',''); ?>
       </li>
       </ul>
       ```
   
 * Doing this will remove the time, posted in and categories, comment count, author
   info and tags…ALL of the metadata at the top of your posts.
 * I hope this is what you’re looking for.
