Hi @threadi ,

Thanks for your guidance. The issue is now resolved — I realized I had missed one additional level in the Customizer menu. After navigating to Appearance → Customize → Post Types → Single Post → Post Title Area, I was able to disable the Author and Date successfully.

Appreciate your support!

Best regards,
Yi-Chen

For privacy reasons I can’t share my live URL, but here’s the exact HTML structure of the header meta where the issue occurs. The author label and date are rendered in the markup even when post meta is disabled in the Customizer.

<header class="entry-header">
  <h1 class="entry-title" itemprop="headline">[Post Title]</h1>
  <div class="entry-meta">
    Author:
    <span class="posted-by vcard author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"
          itemscope itemprop="author">
      <a class="url fn n" rel="author"
         href="https://example.com/author/[author-slug]/"
         itemprop="url" title="View all posts by [REDACTED]">
        <span class="author-name" itemprop="name">[REDACTED]</span>
      </a>
    </span>
    /
    <span class="posted-on">
      <span class="published" itemprop="datePublished">[YYYY-MM-DD]</span>
    </span>
  </div>
</header>

My goal is to remove the output of the author/date (not just hide with CSS) on Astra Free. Could you confirm the correct hook/filter for my version to disable this block entirely? Thanks.

Hi @wpmudevsupport12,

In WordPress → Appearance → Customize → Post Types → Blog/Archive → Posts Structure,
I have set the post meta to “Disabled,” but the date and author still display, so I used CSS to hide the author. https://reurl.cc/z5ll5p

In Post Types → Single Post, there is no Meta setting option.
This may be because I have not subscribed to Astra Pro.

I tried using CSS to hide the author and date, and it works, but I also need the date to be removed.

✅ Solved: WordPress Permalink stuck on Hostinger subdomain

After trying all the recommended fixes — including:

• Updating General Settings (WordPress & Site URLs)
• Running Better Search Replace to replace all instances of the Hostinger domain
• Disabling Auto Canonical in Rank Math and manually updating canonical URLs

…I still saw https://XXX.hostingersite.com stuck in Permalink Settings (and it was grayed out, not editable).

🔧 What finally worked:

I went to
Hostinger → Websites → Website List → WP Admin

Instead of using bookmarks or cached login links, I launched the WP dashboard directly from Hostinger’s control panel. After doing this:

• The correct domain https://yourdomain.com was reflected everywhere
• Permalink settings no longer showed the Hostinger subdomain
• Canonical tags and SEO tools picked up the right URL automatically

🎉 Lesson learned:
Sometimes it’s not just about replacing values in the database — logging in through the proper channel can reset hidden session or URL references.

Hope this helps others facing the same frustrating issue!
