    Hi

    At the moment with my blog (twenty 11 theme), when you click on a category, and all the posts for that category then appear, at the top of this there is small writing that says “category archives” with the name of the category. Is there CSS code to disable/ remove this text?

    Also, when in the main blog view, currently you are able to click on the title of the post, and it brings up a single view with that post, and previous / next arrows at the top. Is there CSS code to disable this function of being able to click on the title of the post?

    Many thanks

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    This will do it on category pages only.

    .category .page-title {
display: none;
}

    thanks, that’s great, that has got rid of the small writing.

    are you able to help on disabling the post titles? ideally, i would like to not be able to click on these at all, either in the main blog view or in the categories section.

    many thanks again

    I’m confused: why would you want to repress the post titles on the category view?

    Just wants to repress the “category archives: catname”. The category page title, not the post titles.

    Wait, I didn’t read their reply.

    At any rate, not possible to “unlink” the post titles.

    You could hide the post titles and then hand code the HTML for the title into the first line of each post each time you make a post and then use inline CSS to space things out correctly.

    Wait…which of us has the merlot and which of us is into the Martinis?

    Maybe I should drink more before going to the forums.

    I’m on neither. I have a Kona Brewery Long Board Lager going.

    A Martini sounds good though. I just don’t have the fixin’s.

    I pity you. Especially because you’re drinking American beer.

    It is Hawaiian Micro Brew and it is some of the best I’ve had.

    “You could hide the post titles and then hand code the HTML for the title into the first line of each post each time you make a post and then use inline CSS to space things out correctly.”….

    ….i think this is the best option to do what i am after. are you able to advise the CSS code to do this?

    also, with the first line of text becoming the “title”, are you also able to advise the code to adjust the size and colour of this first line… is this possible?

    many thanks

    Put this in your CSS to hide the post title.

    .entry-title a {
display: none;
}

    For the title you put into the first line of the body of the post, do this:

    <h1 class="entry-title">TITLE OF POST HERE</h1>

    After you get that in, then let us know if you want to change any of the padding or spacing on things. Let’s see how it comes out without any tweaking.

    by adding the above code into the post, it has somehow undone many of the other modifications i have made… black background behind categories, modifications to text etc… is there any other way to add in a heading?

    thanks!

    When using custom fonts, it can at times get tricky to override things. Find this selector in your CSS and add the !important attribute to the font declaration as below and see if that doesn’t fix things.

    .entry-title, .entry-title a {
font: bold 13px/1.625 Arial,sans-serif !important;
}

    I’m not seeing an black background or anything like that, or any changes to padding with the above modification.

    thanks so much for your help, however removing the headings was creating too many other headaches, so i have decided to keep them there are fix the look of the single entry view.

    in the single entry view, are you able to please advise how to:
    – remove the previous / next tabs
    – display the sidebar widgets and text
    – move the post up on the page (or will this automatically happen once the previous / next tabs are removed?)

    again, many thanks!!

    First off: You cannot remove the footer credits from themes here at wordpress.com. It is not allowed. You will have to put those back. You can style them so they are less visible, but be careful in that as making them too “less visible” is the same as hiding them.

    next/previous tabs:

    .nav-previous, .nav-next {
display: none;
}

    Twenty Eleven does not show the sidebar on single-post pages. There is no way to change that.

    Moving the single-page content up: This moves it up some.

    .singular .hentry, .main {
padding-top: 0;
}

    thanks, that’s great.

    sorry, i have gone through my code and not sure how the footer credits are removed… i have copied alot of my code from other people’s queries, without fully understanding what i am doing!

    is there a code to put it back in?

    also, one last query, on the singular entry view (where widgets would be), there is a smiley face.. is there any way to remove this?

    thanks again

    The smiley face is an important part of the stats. You can hide it by making it the same colour as the background, but if you remove it entirely, you won’t have any stats.

    That smilie is for the stats here, but you can hide it with the following.

    img#wpstats {
display: none;
}

    The footer stuff was taken out with this:

    .entry-meta, footer {
display: none;
}

    delete the , footer
