 * I would like to remove the text “by” then the “post author” but leave the date.
 * I have managed to remove everything by using display:none.
 * Is there a simple way to do what I want.
 * Very much enjoying this theme. Thanks.

 * Hi, you would edit single.php with a child theme and remove the following:
 *     ```
       <?php _e('by','hueman'); ?> <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> &middot;
       ```
