* Hi There,
* I really need to be able to remove all traces of ‘About the Author’ and the comments
sections. I would also like to remove all Meta Data & side bars in posts.
* Thanks
* Stephen

* Figured it out – added the following custom CSS
* .blog-post-date-area
{ display:none; } .blog-post-lg { display:none; } .blog-
author { display:none !important; } .blog-author-social { display:none !important;}.
author-description { display:none !important; } .author-box { display:none !important;}.
comment-author-link { display:none !important; }

* I also removed the reference to the sidebar in “simple.php”
* Furthermore I removed the Blog-Author section which in turn removed the comments
section

* This might be easier on the eye:
* ```
.blog-post-date-area,
.blog-post-lg,
.blog-author,
.blog-author-social,
.author-description,
.author-box,
.comment-author-link {
display: none !important;
}
```

* Final point however, our contact email in the footer widget is long(wish) and
the end is missing – how do you decrease the font size in this? Whats the CSS
for this?

.footer-contact-detail-section .col-md-4:last-child h4 {
font-size: 10px;
}
```

* Cheers Andrew
* I just changed the section in
*
* to
*
* index-footer-callout.php
* did the trick 🙂
* Do you happen to know how where the icons “fa-*” happen to reside so I can choose
appropriate ones?
* Thanks

* The icons are generated from a font family in CSS. The font family is “font awesome”.
This should help: [https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/](https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/)

* Thats amazing! Cheers Andrew!
* Final one for the evening – can I make the thing red bar at the foot of the page
slightly larger i.e height wise?

* Yes, the red bar is a border style set on the footer:
* ```
.footer-copyright-section {
border-bottom: 5px solid #db2723;
}
```
* You just need to increase the “5”

* oops not that bit – the bit below right at the very bottom, in mine its a thin
red line.
* Also trying to edit the cookie crum trail on blog posts so that it is either
totally below or above the heading… so to ask – any ideas where that might live?
