  Hi there,

  All posts have a format (usually the standard post format by default), and there isn’t a way to completely remove the format from the post. However, some themes — like the Sobe theme you’re using — display that post format more prominently than others. Are you trying to remove the post format because you don’t want it to show up on your site?

  If so, you can use Custom CSS (part of your WordPress.com Premium upgrade) to change how that appears on your site or remove it completely. We have tips for getting started with CSS Basics and How to Find Your Theme’s CSS to help you with that.

  If you’d like more help changing how the post format shows up on your site, you can post in the CSS Customization forum for more help with that. If you describe exactly how you want your site to look, the expert staff and volunteers in that forum can help you find the CSS you need to make that change. :)

  Hi!

  I guess my issue is with the tear drips
  that appear with the graphic in the middle.I would prefer a more sleek look with just the tite of the post or maybe even a line. I hope that makes sense

  Hi there!

  Sure, I see what you mean. You can use CSS to remove that tear drop from your site entirely. I’ll walk you through how I found the CSS to make that change.

  I followed the steps in How to Find Your Theme’s CSS to find out what CSS property controls how that tear drop looks in your theme. Then, to remove it completely, I used the CSS rule “display: none” to get this code:

  .hentry .post-format-indicator {
  display: none;
  }

  You can copy that CSS code and paste it into the CSS section in your site’s customizer to apply it to your site. Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
