Related posts/Removing page views
-
I’m using the Newsmunch theme. The related posts show page views and I can’t find a way to remove them. Is there a way to remove them or would this require additional CSS?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

To remove the page view counts from the related posts section on solzyatthemovies.com, you should first check the Appearance > Customize menu under “Theme Options” or “Related Posts” to see if there is a built-in toggle to disable post meta. If the Newsmunch theme does not provide a direct setting, you can hide this information using Custom CSS. By navigating to the Additional CSS tab in your Customizer and adding a rule such as .related-posts .post-views { display: none !important; }, you can visually suppress the view counts without altering the theme’s core files. This is often necessary because magazine-style themes like yours frequently hardcode meta data into their “Related” templates, making a CSS “display: none” rule the most efficient way to ensure your post statistics remain private.

There’s no direct setting under the Related Posts page when I go to Customize.
How should I enter the line into the Additional CSS tab? -
you must manually insert a specific rule into your theme’s style settings since a direct toggle is unavailable. Navigate to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and paste the code into the text field, ensuring there are no extra characters like backticks or brackets outside the CSS syntax. This method works by using a “display: none” instruction to tell the browser to ignore the specific HTML class responsible for rendering the view counts within the related posts container. By adding the !important tag to your CSS rule, you ensure that your manual override takes precedence over the Newsmunch theme’s default styling, effectively hiding the metrics from your readers without needing to edit complex theme files.

No additions to the CSS changed a thing. What did change it was going to the single post settings and clicking on hide related post.
