    Hey,

    i found the function syntax_posted_on in the editor, which lines do I need to remove the author from posts as well as that little person symbol right next to it?

    regards,

    KorbohneD

    Hi @korbohned!

    The easiest way would be to hide the author with CSS:

    span.byline {
    display: none;
}

    A good way to add CSS is to use the Additional CSS panel in the Customizer (assuming you’re running at least WordPress 4.7) or with something like the Jetpack Plugin using the Custom CSS Module.

    If you’d prefer to remove the code directly, by first setting up a child theme, you’d actually end up re-writing the syntax_posted_on() and replacing the different calls for it in various files.

    Personally, I’d recommend the CSS route 🙂
