how can I hide the tags list
-
My site features a lot of photography, and i want as minimal wording as possible. I feel like too much text gets in the way of experiencing the images as they are. So it’s really irritating to see a big long list of tag words right next to my photos. Is there a way to hide the tags list? I feel like there was a really simple settings button for it, but I can’t find it now. I’m not super skilled in programing, but I can figure it out if someone can explain it. I’m using the Balisk Theme.

I’ve also tried using the [portfolio display_tags=false] shortcode in my post like it says to here and I’m still seeing tags.

Hi there,
There isn’t a built in way to hide the tags on those pages, however, you could hide them with some custom CSS.
In case you’re not familiar with CSS: It’s a coding language that’s used across the web to change the appearance of websites. Here at WordPress.com, you can use it to customise certain parts of your site’s appearance.
To hide your tags, navigate to the CSS panel of the WordPress.com Customizer and copy/paste the following snippet below the introductory text in the resulting editor:
.entry-meta { display: none; }Let me know how that goes!

Thank you! This worked!
Is there a list somewhere with all the possible codes or something?
There’s a lot of little things, like the display size of the images and my logo and stuff like that, that I want to see if I can change so that it fits the page better.

AND, maybe this is a little too advanced but, I’d really like to change the titles of the categories of my portfolio from text to icons. Instead of the word “photography” it just has an icon of a camera. Is such a thing possible?

CSS varies depending on the theme you’re using and there’s also a big, wide range of customisations it can be used to make. As such, we don’t have a finite list of CSS snippets.
We do, however, have the following resources to help you learn the basics of CSS and enable you to find the snippets you need for yourself:

In addition, staff and volunteers actively monitor our CSS forum to help with specific questions:

It’s definitely possible to make changes to the size of elements on your page using CSS. :) You can post a separate thread to the CSS forum with each separate question that you have. The more specific you are, the better able staff and volunteers will be able to help on that forum.

This might be possible. As a starting point, I recommend uploading the icon that you wish to use to your site’s Media Library. From there, post to the CSS forum with specific details on the text you’re trying to replace and an example page. Our CSS helpers will be able to help from there. :)

You’re most welcome! There’s definitely a learning curve associated with CSS, but it’s well worthwhile. We’re happy to help either here or via the CSS forum if you have questions related to learning CSS or if you would like help with specific snippets.
