## Сүрөттөө

Hide/Remove Metadata is a free, simple yet extremely handy WordPress plugin that
helps you hide or remove author and published date from your website effortlessly.
The plugin is super easy to use and comes with only the essential features to hide
or remove author and date. Simple and straight. There are times when you might not
want to publicize the author’s name or the date when the article was published; 
Hide/Remove Metadata is perfect for situations like these. You can also choose to
hide only one of them, either author or date. And if you want both of them to stay
hidden, you can turn on the Hide option for both. Hide/Remove Metadata is extremely
useful and takes less than a minute to set up. You can either completely or partially
hide the author’s information and published date. Select CSS to partially hide them
or select PHP to completely remove the information. The hide author and date plugin
comes with a responsive design, which means your website will not be affected in
any way; it will look as beautiful as it was. Download Hide/Remove Metadata today!

The CSS option didn’t do anything for my site, but when I selected the PHP option,
it removed the date as it was supposed to. It has an option to remove the author
too, but I didn’t try that as I don’t want to remove the author information from
my posts. Thanks for making this plugin.

It worked! (Using the PHP option) BUT! It left the little calendar icon and the 
separator line. I’ll live with that.
