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.

The code you pasted above does also not work. * Here is an accessible part of my website.

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, Dirk * p.s.: I have removed now my bio-information in my profile. This is a workaround but not a solution for ever. * [Bojan Radonic – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support4/) * (@wpmudev-support4) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-author-bio-in-posts/#post-5661669) * 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](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, Bojan * Thread Starter Anonymous User 13912904 * (@anonymized-13912904) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-author-bio-in-posts/#post-5661670) * Thanks, Bojan, I removed the code already.
