 * Hi guys I’m working on this site; [http://mrsdalrymple.com/](http://mrsdalrymple.com/)
   it’s WordPress 3.2.1 using the Brunelleschi theme.
 * I want to remove “by LONDONBOUND ” author text from each post. I’ve looked through
   the trees for code etc. But I’m not understanding A) where to find the index.
   php and also whenever I find an index.php it doesn’t have much if any code in
   it.
 * I want to remove the ability to comment on the actual pages. Again I don’t know
   where to find the page within the ftp and what code to add or remove.
 * Thanks for any help.

 * Last question while this thread isn’t locked! 0:)
 * How would I position the date above the title entry?

 * Can I remove the author from only the static pages and custom pages?

 * Using harmck’s example above, I styled my style sheet like so:
 *     ```
       body.single .entry-meta {
       	display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * In doing so, this changes the author/date/category info links only on specific
   areas of the site.

 * You’ve specified body.single which is most likely why it is only disappearing
   in some places. Do you have a link by any chance?

 * Harry, if you are seeing this chain still, I tried to edit the line you suggested,
   by removing that one part and it crashed the site – no big deal because I am 
   using a dummy domain and site to test this on.
 * But how should I have changed that code? It also does not show up as line 110.
   It is lines 332 – 347 at least how I am looking at it. The code is at: [http://pastebin.com/8qhWKhZW](http://pastebin.com/8qhWKhZW)
