 * Is it possible to get rid of the box altogether under posts that has the author
   info, date, categories etc? Is it possible to just leave a Previous/Next post
   button? Any guidance appreciated.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Finfo-box-on-post%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Yes and no; to remove the box entirely, you can use the CSS code
 *     ```
       div.post-meta-container {
       display:none;
       }
       ```
   
 * But if you want to keep the links/buttons and make them look good, that’s not
   that trivial for someone whos calls himself a newbie 😉
 * Typically this would be solved using a child theme. In this child theme one would
   make modifications to the DIV structure which contains the post meta data, remove
   all unwanted elements and keep just the two links/buttons (and re-style them 
   via CSS).
 * If you want to give it a try and inspect your website’s source code to find the
   DIV structure, hit cmd+alt+c on your Mac’s keyboard. Most probably, some web 
   developer tools will open and you can start exploring the elements which build
   your page. When displaying the details, you can even see which CSS code is applied
   to each HTML element.

 * Thank you so much, Christian. That does actually make some sense so I will give
   it a try. I definitely have some time on my hands. I will also be sure to mark
   as resolved 😉
