Choose your preferred option.

Click "Save" to apply your changes.

Available options

• Author – Displays only the author’s name.

• Author / Date – Displays the author’s name and publish date.

• Author / Date / Min read (default) – Displays the author’s name, publish date, and estimated reading time.

• Date – Displays only the publish date.

• Date / Min read – Displays the publish date and estimated reading time, without the author.

• Min read – Displays only the estimated reading time.

• Hide – Hides all metadata from the post header.

This theme also supports multiple authors. A maximum of two authors will be displayed for each post, which covers most common use cases.
