  changing the name of my Tag or hiding it.

  I was assisted by Kathryn a few days ago and I have a follow on question – she very kindly sorted my problem out for me. The following was my question – as mentioned, now fixed:

  Hi Kathryn,

  Thanks for the response. The problem is, my listing ‘Kingston upon Thames – BJJ Lifesytle Team’ is appearing as a Google listing – but when you click through the link you arrive on my site and the page says there is ‘nothing found’. Obviously I’d like to do a bit better than that and provide some content – but I can’t find the page on my site or work out how to add the content.

  So you get this:

  https://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&sugexp=eappsweb&gs_rn=9&gs_ri=psy-ab&tok=ixllU50SInI2fYI9NJf9Wg&cp=6&gs_id=o&xhr=t&q=bjj+kingston+upon+thames&es_nrs=true&pf=p&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&oq=bjj+ki&gs_l=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.45218183,d.d2k&fp=8523faffe82e9dcf&biw=1366&bih=643

  and then when you click through, you get this:

  http://bjjlifestyleteam.com/tag/kingston-upon-thames/

  _____________________________________________________________________

  The page was empty because I hadn’t created a tag ‘Kingston upon Thames’ and attached it to a post.

  NEW QUESTION:

  The page now looks great – but I would ideally like to change or hide ‘Tag archives – Kingston upon Thames’ – is this possible?

  My site is the site for ‘The BJJ Lifestyle Team – Kingston upon Thames’ – so if the tag can’t be hidden completely to make the landing page prettier – could it be changed to: ‘The BJJ Lifestyle Team – Kingston upon Thames’ or better still – ‘Join The BJJ Lifestyle Team – Kingston upon Thames’?

  I have deleted a ‘Kingston upon Thames’ tag from one of my posts and replaced it with a newly created ‘Join The BJJ Lifestyle Team – Kingston upon Thames’ tag – but it didn’t work so I’ve reinstated my ‘Kingston upon Thames’ tag and of course, the page has reappeared. My site is not about ‘Kingston upon Thames’ it is about ‘The BJJ Lifestyle Team’.

  Any help or advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you – Happiness Team.

  Hi there!

  The only way to hide the text “Tag archives – Kingston upon Thames” is to use custom CSS and would require the Custom Design upgrade:

  Also, here’s a great reference on tags that will show you how edit/assign them to your existing posts:

  If you make changes to posts or pages, it will eventually be updated in Google’s search results as Google takes some time to update its index. WordPress.com has no control on how your site appears in the Google index and in which position.

  Please be patient, in the meantime, Google Webmaster Tools has some more info that you can take a look at:

  I hope that helps!
