  Sure, can you click on the block and just remove the title there? If needed, you can use the list view (it’s the icon that looks like three lines as steps).

  Also, I didn’t see the latest posts block on the site you shared. Can you send a link to the affected page or post?

  I want to remove the titles of the posts in the gallery view there are only 3 options content, author, and tags but not title.

  Oh! You mean you want to hide the titles of the latest posts. Not the title of the block.

  There isn’t a “hide post title” option for the block, but you can use CSS to hide the second link of each block. Add this to Customize > Additional CSS:

  .wp-block-latest-posts__list li a:last-of-type {
      display: none;
  }

  (note that will only work if your other toggles are toggled off)

  OR, consider using the query loop in your site editor instead: that’ll let you customize every aspect of your post list:

  All that said, I did notice the site you linked isn’t hosted here with us. Before changing anything further, be sure you have backups, and work with your host if you need more help.

  That did not work.

  When will add “hide post title” option for the block, it seems obvious that it should be there.

  I guess I will have to use ‘PostX’ which this abilty.

  Thank you for all your help.

  Hi there,

  Whether or not an option for this will be added depends on the WordPress.org community who makes the WordPress software.

  As that’s the version of WordPress you’re also using for your site at https://artchrisdale.com/, you can ask about this in that community’s forums at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  The forum you’re posting to now is specifically for sites hosted on WordPress.com, and your site isn’t hosted with us, so we don’t have any control over how it works.

  Is there a reason why this CCS code does not work. Could be blocked by the template Blocksy?

  
.wp-block-latest-posts__list li a:last-of-type {
display: none;
}

  Hi @chrisatbest,

  I wouldn’t think so, but This question would be best posed to the Blocksys developers

  Support

  As we do not have direct access to the backend of your site, it would be more difficult to assess what the source of the issue may be.

  Hope this helps.
