Title: Changing Post Metadata Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Changing Post Metadata * Resolved [ruth.hopper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ruthhopper/) * (@ruthhopper) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-post-metadata/) * I am new to WordPress and the Raindrops theme. I have searched for ways to change the metadata displayed for each post but this seems to be hidden in different places in different themes. I would like to remove some of the information from the default set of data displayed under the title of each post, currently “Posted on Date Time By”. How do I do this in Raindrops? * I would also like to be able to change font size and possibly move to a different position. * [http://www.herburbia.co.uk](http://www.herburbia.co.uk) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-post-metadata/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-post-metadata/page/2/?output_format=md) * Theme Author [nobita](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nobita/) * (@nobita) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-post-metadata/#post-5717574) * Hi ruth.hopper * > I would like to remove some of the information * Please be as specific description * Thank you. * Thread Starter [ruth.hopper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ruthhopper/) * (@ruthhopper) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-post-metadata/#post-5717711) * Remove Posted on, Time and By – so that it is just the date which is displayed * Theme Author [nobita](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nobita/) * (@nobita) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-post-metadata/#post-5717715) * I recommend use child theme for customize. * reason: For customization, not lost in updates * see: * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) * ( note: Not needs [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) rule at style.css ) * simple child theme example * [http://tenman.info/download/child-raindrops.zip](http://tenman.info/download/child-raindrops.zip) * or using boots * [https://wordpress.org/themes/boots](https://wordpress.org/themes/boots) * Please add child theme style.css * ``` article .posted-on .meta-prep + a, /* home publish time */ article .posted-on .meta-prep, /* home posted on */ article .posted-on .meta-sep, /* home by */ article .entry-meta-default .meta-sep, /* single by */ article .entry-meta-default .meta-prep, /* single posted on */ article .entry-meta-default .meta-prep + a{ /* single publish time */ display: none; } /* if you need publisher hide article .posted-on .author, article .entry-meta-default .author{ display:none;} */ ``` * Thank you. * Thread Starter [ruth.hopper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ruthhopper/) * (@ruthhopper) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-post-metadata/#post-5717735) * Thanks – that works * Thread Starter [ruth.hopper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ruthhopper/) * (@ruthhopper) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-post-metadata/#post-5717782) * How do I change the font size of the post metadata?
