 * Having some difficulty with custom CSS on the “sticky” post at the top of this
   page: [https://blog.provost.indiana.edu/](https://blog.provost.indiana.edu/)
 * I’m trying to obfuscate the date for this post only.
 * Here’s my code:
    p.entry-meta.post-info time.entry-time {display: none}
 * I also tried more specificity:
    header.entry-header p.entry-meta.post-info time.
   entry-time {display: none}
 * I even targeted an easier entity like the H1 on that post, but doesn’t seem to
   be working.
 * The current theme is Genesis with a child theme.

 * Update – it works on the actual post, but not in the loop on the front page… 
   so we’re getting closer.

 * Hi,
    I see that now the date has been hidden in your front page, so I guess you’ve
   managed to find the right css rule.
 * Anyway, to apply a rule to your front page, unless it is a static front page,
   you have to use the main WP Add Custom CSS stylesheet, the one you can edit from
   the plugin’s settings page.
 * To target a specific post in the loop you can use its classes, there is one which
   include the post ID. For example:
 * `.post-305 p.entry-meta.post-info time.entry-time {display: none}`
