  Hi,

  I’m a newbie to WordPress I understand I can hide the header bar on this theme (only has the company name in it). Any ideas how I do that ?

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

  Hi, see if this gets you what you are wanting.

  .header-main {
      display: none;
  }

  Here’s how to hide the section that would show the site title if you had one set (I’d recommend having one!), is this what you meant:

  #masthead .header-main {
  	display: none;
  }

  thanks both that’s perfect !

  can I ask two more questions

  1) I have a page which is blogs by category and there is a big banner which says “Category : xxxx” can I hide that as well ?

  2) I want a side menu which builds based on the category of the blog but cant seem to find one

  my site is https://baskervilledrummond.wordpress.com/

  You can hide the category page headers with this code:

  body.category .page-header {
  	display:none;
  }

  The headers will still show up on date/tag/author/etc. pages though, if you want to hide them all then switch category for archive and it should work.

  If you want to show certain widgets on certain pages then take a look at the widget visibility options.

  If that doesn’t do what you want then add in the all the widgets you want and then let me know which ones you want hidden on which pages and I can see if there’s a CSS solution.

  Thanks Halluke that’s great – how do you find out this stuff ? I used to be a web developer 15 years ago (when asp was first released) and I had no clue !

  I want a widget which creates a menu based on the category of the post (e.g. “our services”)

  I use the default FireFox browser inspector (right click > inspect element) and I’ve been tinkering on WordPress.com for a while so you get used to how most themes are set up. As with everything practice makes perfect!

  For the widgets you want I would suggest setting up some custom menus and then displaying them with the custom menu widget. If you set up multiple menus and widgets – one for each category – you should be able to use the widget visibility options to show them based on certain category pages – no CSS needed!

  thanks very much that’s very helpful – so basically its a manual menu build and you cant create one from the category of post dynamically.

  I will play with the visible menu as that sounds fun

  thank you very much for all your help
