The simplest way to make those changes is by hiding the elements with CSS:
.cat-links, .entry-meta .entry-date, .entry-meta .byline {
display: none;
}
An easy way to add custom CSS like this is to install the Jetpack plugin and activate the Custom CSS module. You could also install a standalone custom CSS plugin, or create a child theme.
Let me know how it goes.
Hello Kathryn, I appreciate that advice but want to avoid plugins and would like to remove it by editing the wp php code.
that being said i am creating the site by child theme.
thank you

Sure, you can also use a child theme, as I mentioned above. Just put the CSS I provided into the style.css file in your child theme.
Thank you. As i mentioned i am using a child theme, did not want to use the css to remove the tags.
Eventually found the<?php ?> tag in the page.php and commented it out.
Thank you tough.

I installed Twenty Fourteen last week, and have been looking for a way to eliminate the tags at the top of the posts too. The ones at the bottom are sufficient for me. Not being a fan of JetPack, I used your suggestion to use a CSS plugin and pasted that code in there and the problem was solved in less than 5 min.. Upon further experimentation, I found that the stuff between the commas are individual commands. I wanted the date of the post to remain so I plucked “.entry-meta .entry-date,” out of it and viola, it looks just right.
Thanks for the fix.
