Sometimes, you don’t want to show some or all of the article’s information (such as the creation date or the author name) in Joomla. This article will explain to you, in details, how to remove some or all of the article’s information from a specific article or from all articles.
If you want to remove the article information from a specific article:

- Go to Content -> Article Manager (Click on “Content” on the upper horizontal men and then click on “Article Manager”).
- Click on the name of the article that you want to hide the information for.
- Once the article is open in edit mode, then click on “Parameters (Advanced)” on the right.
