Remove Author

Hi there,

that option only effects the standard post meta.

1. Author name. You need to edit the Header Element and remove the {{post_author}} template tag
2. The Volume Site uses a Custom Hook - in Appearance > Elements - delete the Author Box hook to remove it. Or you can can Quick Edit and change the Status to Draft to disable it.

Ah I see, ok I'm starting to see more of how this structure works now.

Thank you David.

Yeah - installing a Site when you're new to GP can create a bit of confusion.
Sites don't just install theme settings - but mostly include Customizer > Additional CSS and can include Elements.

And as general rule regarding hierarchy:

1. Customizer settings applies globally.
But as the Themes code is full of hooks - actions and filters you can change most pieces. For example the Blog Options filter:

Now you can have a different layout for different archives.

2. Elements
Hooks and Headers are very similar except the latter comes with controls for designing Heros and ( without using filter ) always displays in the same place.
Layout Elements allow you to make changes to some customizer settings. As well as apply Layouts and Disable things.

3. Layout & Disable Element Metaboxes
Both of these are in the post editor allowing you to make changes at a post level.

When it comes to layouts: 3 beats 2 and 2 beats 1.....

Hope that helps
