  I’m not seeing any tags on the posts on your main page. I do however see categories after the date. You can hide that with the following CSS.

  .categories-links {
      display: none;
  }

  I did take a look at the McKinley Demo site and worked out the following CSS to hide tags from posts.

  .tags-links {
      display: none;
  }

  Thank you for the help.

  Quick questions though: Does hiding the tags/keywords affect SEO negatively?

  Thanks

  No, it does not harm SEO. The tags are still there in the HTML, they just aren’t visible to your visitors. The search engines can still see them.

  Thank you.

  I just heard it does and not to do it. I think the tags look hideous.

  Have a great day!!

  Hi,
  I am really new to CSS, so my questions sounds probably dumb but, here i go:
  Is it just a matter to copy the code line you gave in previous answer in the “Customizing CSS” option inside the customizer?
  Or is there some previous code lines needed so WordPress customizer can apply them?
  Thanks.

  @axelware, in general, as long as you are using the same theme, yes you can copy the code and then paste it in at Customize > CSS.Delete all the informational text in that window, and paste in the CSS.

  Well i must be doing something wrong because nothing happens.
  I am using Snaps theme and i have a premium account, so it should work, wright? or the code lines are diferent from theme to theme?
  I am gone to make a new entry with the elements i would like to customize with css and put a link to my WordPress page in it.
  Tanks a lot for the support @thesacredpath!

  Well, the Snaps theme may use different class names and IDs for this area, so the code intended for a different theme may not work here.

  What is the URL of your site? Happy to take a closer look
