Hey there dzhome,
Hope you’re well today!
Try adding the following CSS code in the style.css file of your child theme or add it in your site using the following plugin:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css
.meta-author { display: none; }This should remove the author meta form both blog page and single post pages.
Hope this helps 🙂
Cheers,
BojanHi,
thanks for the hint but this does not work. Both ways not working.
DirkHey again Dirk,
Could you please post link to your site so I can take a look?
Cheers,
BojanCan you give me your mail address. I need to send login data and don’t want to post it here…
Unfortunately you won’t be able to provide your website link and that will be a barrier to those trying to help you.
Yes, my website is restricted to users only. I am able to provide a link, but to see what happens one needs the login data. Im am willing to provide these data, but not post it here.
Hey Dirk,
There is no need for sedning credentials, I just need to see your site so I can use inspector and target the correct class 🙂
Cheers,
BojanOk Bojan,

DirkHey Dirk,
Oh I’m sorry I misunderstood and posted before I could see your post. I already tried installing the theme, that’s how I provided the code in the first place.
Please try adding this:
.meta-author { display: none !important; }Normally I wouldn’t suggest the use of the !important declaration. However, it can sometimes be a necessary evil when over-writing existing styles.
If this doesn’t work I can’t really help you more if not being able to see blog or single post page. Sorry 🙁
Best regards,
BojanHi Bojan,
no worries. The code you pasted above does also not work.
Here is an accessible part of my website. There you can see what happens.

Cheers,
DirkI have:
.meta-author, .meta-author-prep, .meta-author.link { display: none; }And my child theme works… So maybe it’s the extra sections which are still appearing…
Hope that helps!
CampanulaHi Campanula,
no, this does not help. It only results in that I do not see the name of the author of the post anymore.
But this stupid bio stuff is still there.
Regards, Dirkp.s.: I have removed now my bio-information in my profile. This is a workaround but not a solution for ever.
Hey again Dirk,
You can try the code Campanula suggested, both author prep and link are child elements of author element http://screencast.com/t/ivR45pGRv and I’m not sure that will make any difference.
Is the code added now or you removed it?
Cheers,
BojanThanks, Bojan, I removed the code already. It does not provide any benefit.
Hi,
any other idea? Still looking for a solution. Thanks.
Dirk
