 * How can one remove _Author_ and the _Comment_– and _Share Icon_ in a [WordPress Embed](https://wordpress.org/support/article/wordpress-embed/#top)?

 * It does not seem to be an option for the block, but might be addressed via CSS.
   Please provide a link to a page on your site where we can see this. Thanks.

       .wp-embed-footer {
           display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * **To add or override CSS:** use the “Additional CSS” option in the customizer._

 * Thanks. I added the code using Additional CSS, you can see it in the Source Code.
   But it doesn’t work. I also tried adding an CSS _!important_ Property.

 * “wp-embed-footer” does not appear in your page source. Have you cleared the cache?
   It also looks like your using a custom CSS plugin.

 * Yes, I use a custom CSS plugin, and every other code I add in there works just
   fine. But I added the code you provided to _both_ the custom CSS plugin and the
   standard Additional CSS option in the customizer.
 * Here is the code in the source code: [https://imgur.com/CxXVMgY](https://imgur.com/CxXVMgY)
 * I just purged the cache.

 * Let’s see if making it more specific helps:
 *     ```
       .wp-embed .wp-embed-footer {
           display: none;
       }
       ```

 * No, still not working unfortunately, WordPress just ignores this code…

 * What if you add a class to the embed block, under “advanced”, say “myembed”, 
   then use
 * .myembed .wp-embed-footer { (etc)
 * If that doesn’t work, I’m out of ideas.

 * Thanks for taking the time, but still no.
 * Guess it just is not possible.
