Under elements, page hero and single post

That all looks correct. Can you link us to that post?

Do you have more than one Header Element? If so can you disable the other element.... you can do this by Quick Edit > Status set to Draft

Awesome! Yes! I disabled the Global Header element and now we are getting somewhere! Thank you!

Each one of my posts shows the author permalink -> by Editor

Do you know where to disable this? I did not see it on the elements or not showing up under disable elements
thank you

You can disable the author in Customize > Layout > Blog: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/blog-overview/

Ahh forgot about that ...so many ways to customize! thanks!

You're welcome :)
