    Hello,

    Could someone provide guidance on how to modify the css of the Columnist Theme’s front page. I’d like to alter the text that’s showing up automatically under the images.

    Additionally I am looking for a way to make the Tags that I’ve added private. I believe this also requires modifying the Columnist Theme’s css. Please see this page as an example of the Tagged words appearing on the right hand side: http://intar-journal.risd.edu/2015/06/15/cfp06/

    Thank you.

    Hi there,

    I’d like to alter the text that’s showing up automatically under the images.

    Do you have a link to a page or post where I can see these images? Also, what were you looking to change about it, anyway?

    Additionally I am looking for a way to make the Tags that I’ve added private. I believe this also requires modifying the Columnist Theme’s css.

    Wow, you’ve added a lot of tags to that post. You can try the following block of code to hide those tags. Just enter it into the CSS tab of your site customizer here: https://wordpress.com/customize

    Here is the code to paste in:

    #content footer.entry-meta span {
  display: none;
}

    Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    Thank you so much.

    Would you also be able to share the code that removes the text, or allows for the option to modify the text, that is under the images of the main page of the Columnist Theme?

    If you are looking to hide the text altogether, this code will work:

    entry-summary {
  display: none;
}

#feed-wrap .post {
  height: 195px !important;
}

    However, if you want to just change the text that is there (customize what it says) you may want to try adding a custom excerpt:

    Hope that helps!
