 * Can someone please help asap? For any post I publish when I click on it and go
   on the post screen I see this info – post by xxxx, published xxx, updated xxx.
   
   I want to remove the update information. I checked settings everywhere and couldn’t
   find where to remove it.
 * Can you please let me know how to do this? It is an annoying, unnecessary info.
 * Thank you so much!

 * Thanks for sharing the URL. Please go to Appearance > Customize > Additional 
   CSS and put this:
 *     ```
       .post-byline { 
          display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * Let me know if this works!

 * thanks so much for looking into this. It did work but it did more than what I
   was looking for. It removed the whole line “by… published… updated…” and I only
   wanted to remove ‘updated’ . Can you please take another look at it? Thank you
   so much!

 * Looking at the I am afraid there is no one-line solution for this. The generated
   markup for this section is like this:
 *     ```
       "updated"
       <time class="updated" datetime="September 15, 2017">September 15, 2017</time>,
       ```
   
 * As you can see the text **“updated”** is not inside any element and hence you
   cannot access it using CSS selectors directly!
 * There are two options to do this: (1) by using JavaScript or (2) by modifying
   your HTML markup.
 * The preferred solution for me however is to modify your HTML markup.
 * The file responsible to output the byline is located at
    **/wp-content/themes/
   hueman/parts/single-author-date.php**
 * Go to line number 14 and wrap the entire line inside an `<i>` element so that
   the line reads:
 * `<i>&middot; <?php _e('Updated', 'hueman'); ?> <time class="updated" datetime
   ="<?php the_modified_date( get_option('date_format') ); ?>"><?php the_modified_date(
   get_option('date_format') ); ?></time></i>`
 * Now again go to Appearance > Customise > Additional CSS and simply add the following
   rule (make sure to first remove the previous CSS code you added already):
 * `.post-byline i { display: none; }`
 * I hope this would do the trick! Let me know if this works.
