So ...

We are going to use a handy plugin called Disable Blogging in Wordpress.

Here it is:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-blogging/

Note: you'll see the usual warning message saying that the plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest major releases of Wordpress ... Ignore it ... I've tested the plugin on Wordpress 5.1 and works fine.

It's a very small plugin (35 KB), but let's see the usual speed tests ...

Here are my results before installing the plugin ...


... and the result after installing and activating the plugin:


No more comments needed ...

Now let's see how it works ...

I think you're the one I asked about this yesterday :) I need to remove my email address from each blog post but it requires going into the code and I really don't want to break my site by accident. It sounds like your tutorial will cover this, thanks!

So here's my GOOD NEWS: It deleted the 'admin' byline and my email address from all posts at the bottom! yay!! :)

The bad news ... it did not delete the date and posted by admin at the top of each page. It could be because I have multiple theme editors or because my version of WP is 5.2 (the latest). I tried posting new pages from both Site Content here on WA, and also directly within WP but it didn't work.

I'll try to figure this out somehow but this is a great start just to not have my email address appear. Thanks again!

The date and the author archive is called meta data. The way they are displayed is usually theme-related. If you can't find any related options in your theme customizer, then you can hide them by adding the following CSS code in the Custom CSS option of your theme on the below path.

Admin Area -> Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS

.entry-header .entry-meta {
display: none;
}

This is something I had never thought about but can see how useful it would be for anyone wanting a non-blogging management system. Great training.
Thanks, Justin
