How do I remove text and links from sidebar?
-
The home page of my site has some text and links that I want to delete completely. It has the date, then the text “category uncategorized’ and the text “Comments off [EDIT]”
I want to delete everything from this side panel so that it is just completely blank – can anyone help me?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi. I don’t think you need CSS to do that. Just move the text currently on this post…

Oops! That’s the Monotone theme and removing the date only addresses part of what’s being asked for.2010

It would require the paid CSS upgrade and some CSS editing experience.
If you however do as airodyssey says and create a static front page for your blog instead of having your introduction as a post, then that area to the left of the page body will be blank like it is on your Resume page.

Hi – thanks so much for your help – I have been able to add on a new Home page – which means i can display that text without all that stuff down the side. My problem now is that I am left with two ‘Home’ pages – the orginal one that came with the tempate and the new one I just made.
I tried to follow the instructions for how to hide a page under the attributes section: http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/hide-pages/
But when I go to the top level of ‘Pages’ that original ‘Home’ that came with the template isn’t there as an option to click on? The Home page that I created is there, but not the other one, so I’m not sure how to get rid of it??
Can anyone help with this?

Your home page and the original, which is actually not a physical page, it is dynamically generated, and the home page you created and set as your static home page point to the same place, so just make yours a child of another page and the home tab will still go to your new static front page.

Thanks for that – do you have a link to some instructions that can guide me through this? Im not too savvy with child pages etc yet!

Thank you – I think I am getting close now! I have made the ‘Home’ that I created a child of a parent page, so now I only have one “Home” button on my main navigation. Problem is, now that I moved it to be under a parent page, I can see it sitting there as an option to click on under that menu item – obviously this looks a bit strange – how can I make it ‘vanish’ for good – but still keep the main one that is sitting on my main navigation? I tried to make it a private page instead of a public page, but that also makes the main one disappear as well… hmmm??

Thanks for the suggestion. I set up a custom menu and added all the pages – I made sure to leave “home” off the list, but for some reason they are both still displaying on the menu. This seems so complicated, perhaps I am trying to do something that is not possible?!

Make sure and select your custom menu from the “primary location” pulldown and then click “save.”

You probably missed a step: after you create a custom menu, you need to select that menu from the dropdown in the Theme Locations module and click Save.
