Hi @headspacepositive,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your questions.

On the home page, how do you remove the “by AUTHOR” section from the post?

You can remove it by adding the following CSS code in the Custom CSS code option of your theme on the below path.

Admin Area -> Appearance -> Theme Settings -> Custom Code -> CSS Code

body.home .blog-list .post-meta-author {
    display: none;
}

body.home .blog-list .post-meta-date {
    padding-left: 0;
}

When I hoover over the category buttons the category string shows (?category=) how do I remove this for the URL or shorten it to say “category”?

When you click on the category buttons on the homepage on desktop/laptop/mobile is feels like the page isn’t going nowhere. How do you make it so it anchors down slightly so you can see content?

You have to develop custom code to achieve this.

Developing custom code for custom functionality is beyond the scope of support that we provide here. Please see https://themeforest.net/item/jevelin-multipurpose-premium-responsive-wordpress-theme/14728833/support

If you are not a developer then you can consider hiring a developer to develop it for you. You can hire a developer from any freelance site. Shufflehound recommends the developer https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~011652ffec8865c6d5

The site blog-post paragraph text colour has been altered to black but it also changes the Footer and Tagline text on the homepage. How does one override this?

You can change it using below custom CSS code.

.sh-titlebar *,
.sh-footer p {
    color: #fff;
}

Best regards,
Shufflehound team
