  Sorry I have several things I’m trying to remove:
  *The titles on each page;
  On the side bar:
  *the search box and *word “search”
  *the word “archives”
  *the “Meta” info;
  At the bottom”
  *the word and link for “edit”
  *Leave a Reply and the *box.

  I’m new at CSS. To start, I added these two things to the CSS editor that I found in the forum, but nothing is changing.

  .page-id-50 .headline {
  display: none;
  }
  .entry-footer {
  display: none;
  }

  Also, in the CSS editor, do you need to leave a blank line between each instruction?

  Thank you!

  Hi @lindacovella,

  Title removal:

  .entry-title {
      display: none;
  }

  Often times you will see a default list of widgets in the event that no widgets are being used by the user. This may be the case. Try adding a empty Text Widget and see if the sidebar widgets disappear.

  The word, Edit, only appears to you. Nothing to worry about with that one.

  You have the ability to turn off all comments site-wide or you can turn them off from the Post/Page Edit screen. Look under the Screen Options and turn on the Discussion module to disable comments on a per post or page basis.

  Which is page 50 and what do you want to do with it?

  What exactly are you trying to accomplish in the footer?

  I think as long as your CSS syntax is correct, you can various amounts of spacing. Clean, well organized CSS is preferred by most folks.

  Thank you for your reply, dascheltemn. The title fix worked, so thank you!
  I thought the code with “50” in it would remove the title from the home page, so I’ve deleted that code from the CSS.

  I’m not trying to do anything in the footer. Sorry about the confusion.

  The remaining thing I need removed is the “Leave a Reply” and the comment box. I did go into Discussion and uncheck all the comment-related items, but that didn’t get rid of the words and the box that appear at the bottom of all pages (not the footer).

  FYI: I’m sorry, I don’t think I was clear about the sidebar. I did find these fixes to remove words in the sidebar in another part of the forum that I thought I’d share.

  I really appreciate your help!

  #searchform {
  display:none;
  }

  #archives {
  display:none;
  }

  #meta {
  display:none;
  }

  dascheltemn, I was in the wrong place to remove the “Leave a Reply” words and box. Got it done now. Thank you SO much!
