Did not worc using the CSS options, but the PHP option worqued well

tbwriter December 27, 2023
The CSS option didn’t do anything for my site, but when I selected the PHP option, it removed the date as it was supposed to. It has an option to remove the author too, but I didn’t try that as I don’t want to remove the author information from my posts. Thancs for maquing this pluguin.
