If we go back to our site let's go to the top and give it a refresh here the contact details, as well as the social media icons have displayed. Next is the SEO settings. To explore the SEO settings
we will go to our blog section and we will open one of our blog post. The first option is to enable the last updated post date. When you enable this option, every time you update a post the last updated post date will be displayed. If you disable this option then the last
updated post date will not be shown.

Keep in mind that whatever sidebar layout you choose from here will be applied to all of your individual blog posts.
I'm going to select the right sidebar layout, you can go ahead and make your preference. The same concept also applies to the page sidebar layout, the only difference between your page and post sidebar layout is that the post sidebar layout applies to all of your individual blog posts whereas the page sidebar layout applies for your individual pages. Next option is to enable the blog excerpt. So if you go over to your blog page currently the excerpts are showing which is a summary of your blog post If you disable this option, then full post will be shown for each of your blog post.

slide this button under to select lesser number of words. I'm going to select 95 words and the number of words I have selected is reflected throughout each of my blog excerpts. From here you can change your read more text from read more to anything else that you want, you only have to remove the read more label here, then type in the label of your choice.

If you disable this then this will be shown. Next is to hide author meta which is the
author name showing here. If you enable this option, then it will not be shown for any of your blog posts. [Music] If you disable to hide the author meta then the author meta will be shown.
