Is there any way to remove the word 'widgets' from the ecto theme navigation?

    Hi – I like the look of the new ecto theme, but one thing bothers me. Is there any way to remove the word ‘widgets’ from the theme navigation at top right – even when widgets are activated? To my mind, ‘widgets’ is a backroom term that has no meaning for general readers. It seems pointless to use it in a public-facing setting.

    Hi Gerry.

    The fact that the word ‘widgets’ is showing up seems to be a bug with this theme, which I’ve gone ahead to report back to the theme’s author.

    While we wait to hear back on a fix, we can patch this up with some custom CSS. I can see you’ve already added a little CSS to your site previously. :)

    To add custom CSS for hiding the ‘widgets’ text, firstly head to My Sites in WordPress.com then choose the option to Customize in the left sidebar to reach the Customizer:

    https://wordpress.com/customize/gerryco23.wordpress.com

    From here, click on the CSS tab. Below the introductory text in the resulting editor, copy and paste the following CSS:

    .custom-menu .sidebar-toggle {
  color: transparent;
}

    Hope this helps out! Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any extra questions around that.
