    I received notification that the Genesis Simple Edits has been deprecated. However, ever since removing it, I've had problems getting my post byline to be the way I want it to be.
    1. It was showing By author's name, date, and comment link showing # of comments
    2. I found shortcode for removing date. Only place it worked was in Additional CSS.
    3. It still shows By author name with the number of comments. I am okay if it has the author name but I don't want the number of comments.
    4. Nothing I put in Singular Content/Entry Meta works.
    5. I cannot find specific code for removing the number of comments link.

    Can someone please help me. I'd like the byline to only have the author name. I would like the visitors to be able to comment and for those comments to show at the end of the post. Thank you. I am not very techie so please be specific in terms of shortcode and where to place it to work. Thank you!

    If you do not want the post meta at the top, as I see on Archives.org you had it set up, you can add this to the Additional CSS box. This way if you ever want to bring the name, date and comments back, you can remove this code.

    .entry-meta {
        display: none;
    }

    Thank you! Last question (I hope) 😉 If I select the Blog tab at the top, it does not show Comments (which I want it to and for visitors to comment.If I navigate from one of the three featured posts on the Home page, it shows Comments. How do I get Comments to show after the post (or the box for someone to add a new comment) when navigating from the Blog tab?

    It should be displaying by default. But the code I gave you removed it from everywhere. Since you want it on Archives replace your code with this:

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

    That will remove it from single posts only.

    Okay, thank you for your patience and assistance. It's not exactly what I was looking for but I'm getting there. I'll do some more research to see if I can tweak to what I need. Thank you again!
