 * How can I remove the date and the autor of the posts?
    Can’t find such codes 
   in single.php, functions.php, content-single.php. Where could they be?

 * It could be into the index.php Some times theme developers use index.php instead
   of single.php and they write some functions on the functions.php you have to 
   edit both to remove the post meta like: author 🙂

 * It’s not a good idea to modify theme files except using a child theme – otherwise
   your changes will be lost when the theme is updated.

 * In this case, it may be easier to use CSS to hide the date and author. If you
   post a link to your site, some one can help you with the code to use.

 * Thank you guys! I finally found the code in content-single.php. It looks this
   way:
    <?php modernwpthemes_posted_on(); ?>

 * If you change that (or remove it), you’ll lose those changes when you update 
   the theme – as I posted above, you should use a child theme to modify theme files.
