  Hi,

  I’ve used the following CSS to hide my site-titles throughout my website https://wordpress.com/view/gpbellbooks.com:

  .page .site-title {
  display: none;
  }

  This worked but now I’m trying to figure out how to do the same for my Blog posts. I tried the following CSS but it did not work:

  .post .site-title {
  display: none;
  }

  Here is an example of a blog post where I want to hide the site title “G.P. Bell | Children’s Book Author”:

  Book Review: WATERCRESS

  Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Change your code to just:

  .site-title {
  display: none;
  }

  Adding the .page limits the code to just PAGEs, which blog POSTs, category archives, monthly archives, etc, are not.

  Hello – just wondering why the following CSS (per gpbellauthor above) doesn’t work? I’m trying to remove my site-titles from blogs only!

  .post .site-title {
  display: none;
  }

  Thanks

  Just adding this explainer here because I can’t edit my posts:

  .post .site-title {
  display: none;
  }

  That’s thinking logically, but most things in WordPress are anything but :-D

  If you wanted to hide the headline for individual blog POSTs (as you did for PAGEs), you’d use: .single .site-title instead :-)

  But that would still leave out a lot of pages that are neither WordPress PAGEs or POSTs: like category/tag/date archive pages, search result pages, et. Using just .site-title will let the code work for the entire site.
