Removing Post Meta Data Empty Space

[pperkins81]

I've removed the post meta data from my posts, but I'd like to get rid of the white space area where the post meta data usually goes. It's empty now, so it's unnecessary. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Paul

That's a margin from the h2.entry-title.

Try this:

h2.entry-title { margin: 0; }

Does that work?

On second consideration, try this:

h2.entry-title {
margin-bottom: 1rem;
text-align: left;
}

Or even...

h2.entry-title {
margin-bottom: 0.5rem;
text-align: left;
}

I can't find anything labeled h2.entry-title.

[Chris Moore]

You don't have to. 🙂 There is more than one way to skin a cat, as they say, and that definitely holds true for CSS.

Open your child theme's style.css and then start your customizations at the bottom, the very bottom, after everything else is said and done. That way your customizations will override the child theme's styles. This is the best way to keep clear what you have changed and what originally came with the child theme. Otherwise, you will have no idea what you did, and where.

If this doesn't work:

h2.entry-title {
margin-bottom: 0.5rem;
text-align: left;
}

Then try this:

h2 .entry-title {
margin-bottom: 0.5rem;
text-align: left;
}

(separating the h2 from the .entry-title)

One of the two should work, again, at the very bottom of the child theme's stylesheet.

I see. Neither code got rid of the white space.

Hello again!

I have some other suggestions (it sometimes takes up to 3 or 4 tries to get things just right), however, I can't access your homepage anymore, it automatically redirects to your "portfolio" page.

Still willing and happy to help.

Best of luck either way though!

Hey Chris. Thanks! You should be able to access it now.

[Chris Moore]

Looks like you got it to work? What changed? Needed to clear your browser cache, or you were using a caching plugin?

At any rate, looks good to me. Let me know if you need further assistance with this.

Really? I'm still seeing the empty space below the content. It's just below the "Keep reading" button.

add this in your style.css file

.home footer.entry-footer, .blog footer.entry-footer{ display: none;}

Sweet! That fixed it on the main page. But it's still showing up in the post page. Any thoughts about that?

[Genesis Developer]

Remove my previous code and then only use this

footer.entry-footer{ display: none;}

Terrific. Thanks a lot!

[Chris Moore]

Haha! I thought you were talking about the header area and where it says "Better Than a New Year’s Resolution, By Paul Perkins"... Sometimes the post meta is there. My apologies.

The code I shared should move the post header left (instead of centered) and close the gap between the header and your byline.

At any rate, looks like you got what you needed either way!
