Remove image information (metadata)

    The blog I need help with is scribblycanvas.wordpress.com. I am using Colinear as my theme.

    I am trying to remove image information such as aperture, camera, shutter speed, focal length etc. I have tried several methods to hide/remove it and I couldn’t get to a solution. I searched in wordpress support forum and many suggested to this page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/media-settings/#image-gallery-carousel

    The problem is I don’t see any ‘Media’ option or to uncheck Metadata under the Setting tab! My settings option only shows General, Writing, Discussion and Traffic tabs and there is nothing about managing Media files.

    Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    @timethief Thank you so much! So basically, in order to get access to Settings>>Media and so on, I went to the ‘old dashboard’ style. I added /wp-admin/ to the end of my site’s address to get to the dashboard.

    Honestly, I am new to wordpress and this is the first time I came across the wp-admin dashboard and I really like how comprehensive it is unlike the ‘new/regular site dashboard. I even bookmarked it to use for future posts!

    Thank you for the help!
