body: ok, sorry for that. New to Confluence so still searching and finding out how to do things.

body: Updated solution:

Matt's solution worked for me until a recent Confluence Cloud update; some page titles were getting partially hidden.

![chopped-title.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/3858i53EFD9560719DFB4/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "chopped-title.png")

A new solution (provided by a colleague):

As before, go to Space tools \> Look and Feel \> Sidedbar, header and footer tab. Add the following code to the spaces WIKI Markup header field:

```
{style}.ByLine_root_1io {margin: 0;}.ByLine_avatarWrapper_1Wi {display: none;}.ByLine_root_1io .ByLine_textContainer_juD {display: none;}{style}
```

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: We're not support, we're a community of end users.

My understanding is that Atlassian are not going to change this back, the architecture is not able to support it (in favour of supporting other stuff they do want to do)


author: Matt Clayton
body: Oh my bad. But thats a shame, it's really annoying and not always necessary...


author: Matt Peterson
body: To remove the meta data from a Confluence ondemand space one method is to use WIKI markup in the header of the space. **Note:** You will need to be a space admin to make this update

**Navigation:** Space tools --\> Look and Feel --\> Sidedbar, header and footer tab  

Add the following code to the spaces WIKI Markup header field:

{style} .page-metadata {display: none;} {style}

body: Thanks for the solution Matt. It worked as of last week; unfortunately, today (October 24, 2016) it looks like this solution is no longer valid (my spaces have the meta data under the page titles again).


author: kp
body: Hi,

I did find this from Confluence's support pages and this worked. Included in a template in a CSS Stylesheet macro, the page doesn't show the user and created/updated info.

`.page-metadata`  
`{`  
` ``display:none !important;`  
`}`

body: Hi,

I'm using Confluence OnDemand version and dont have access to any configuration files.

The aimed use for Confluence is public documentation and there is no need to show when a page has been created or modified and by whom. If a removal of this info is not possible just being able to hide it is a start.

Thanks.
