WordPress plugins will help you a lot in WordPress design. One of these plugins can help you hide or remove certain metadata from your posts, such as publication date or author name. We often need to hide the metadata of posts for various reasons. WordPress has created an opportunity for you to do this successfully by using a suitable plugin.
In this post, we will show you how to do this using the “Hide/Remove Metadata” plugin.
Install and activate the plugin.
The first step is to log in to your WordPress dashboard. Once you’re there, navigate to the left sidebar and click on “Plugins.” From the dropdown menu, select “Add New.”
In the search box provided, type in “Hide/Remove Metadata.” The plugin should appear in the search results. Click on the “Install Now” button next to the plugin name.
once your installation is finished, click on “Activate” to enable the plugin on your WordPress site.
Configuring Plugin Settings and Hiding Metadata.
Now, return to the Plugins section and scroll down to find the “Hide/Remove Metadata” plugin. Click on “Settings” to configure the options.
The plugin allows you to easily select the metadata you want to hide in the dashboard. For example, if you want to hide the author, you can do that process very easily by clicking hide author. And if you want to hide the publication date, you can select that option as well.
After making all the changes click on “Save Changes” to apply your changes.
You can then refresh your web page to see the changes you have made.
There is one more thing you should be aware of while making these changes. That is, how these changes affect your user experience. Sometimes your users look for publication dates and author names to assess the credibility of your post content. Therefore, you should be careful about this fact when completing the information.
So with these few steps, you can easily handle the metadata of your posts. Many other plugins allow you to perform this process. You can explore them and choose the most suitable plugin for your work.
In conclusion, you can get support from plugins like “Hide/Remove Metadata” to manage metadata. That way you can manage the visibility of publication dates and author names without interruption. But here you should be more concerned about whether there is any impact on your users’ experience.
