  I’d like the homepage to just display a photo and title, no additional text. What code do I use to remove the summary text for each post on the home page? Also, where do I go to put this code in?

  Thanks!!

  I used a browser inspector to find that the class for the excerpts on the homepage is triton-lite-excerpt – that means you can hide it on the front page by adding this CSS under Appearance > Customize > CSS:

  .home .triton-lite-excerpt {
  	display: none;
  }

  One more question Kathryn… Do you know how to remove the date on posts via code? And do I put it in the same place as the other one?

  Do you know how to remove the date on posts via code?

  Which dates are you referring to – the dates that slide out on top of each square on the homepage, or the dates on the individual post pages, like here:

  do I put it in the same place as the other one?

  Yes, all custom CSS goes in the same spot.
