The links to contact, about and my latest post

So underneath where the titles of those links are, there is description underneath of what the link does and it is appearing on viewers’ website too. How do I remove/change them?
Thanks.
PS don’t judge on the blog, it’s a joke with my biology class.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
Does the homepage have the front page template assigned? If so, then the page content, or the portion of it displayed in a featured page area of the front page template on the Goran theme, can be hidden by inserting the More tag at the top of the page content. However, this will only work if there’s nothing in the Excerpt window of the editor.
Btw, if that’s the front page template, then how did you get a post to display in one of the three featured page areas?

Hi @dankbiologyblog!
@musicdoc1’s More Tag option will work for most cases, except for your third block on the home page.
For that one, it looks like you’ve selected your posts page, which will show multiple blog posts when you have them. Right now you have only one post, which is what prompted @musicdoc1’s question.
The More tag won’t help there, because the posts would still be displayed.
The best option would be to upgrade to a Premium Plan or Business Plan so you can use Custom CSS to hide the content of those sections.
Adding the following CSS snippet under My Site > Customize > CSS should do the trick to hide the descriptions and any additional blog posts:
.featured-page-area .entry-summary p:not(:last-child), .featured-page-area .featured-page article:not(:first-child){ display: none; }It does a couple of things – first it hides all of the paragraphs except for the last one (which is the Read More) button. Then, for the blog posts, it hides every post except the first one.
The end result will be featured image, title, and read more, with only one post shown :)

staff-loquaciousloon,
Right now you have only one post, which is what prompted @musicdoc1’s question.
I thought this might be the reason, so in a test site I made the third featured page the posts page, and only published one post. However, unlike the case of https://dankbiologyblog.wordpress.com/, where the third featured page displays the featured image and title of the lone published post, and both link to that post, on my test site the featured image and title of the posts page display there, and these both link to the posts page, not to the single post.

staff-loquaciousloon,
I’ve partially figured out why it failed on my test site. I hadn’t set the page titled “Posts” as the posts page, but even after doing so, the featured image and title of the post do not display in the third featured page area, which now displays only an excerpt of the post content and a Read More button. -
Interesting!
With a Static Front Page and a separate posts page, Goran is pulling up blog posts for me (screenshot).
That has multiple posts, but it also works for me with just one post.
Happy to look at your test site if you’d like!

staff-loquaciousloon,
Here’s the site: https://sbstage4.wordpress.com/. Not only do the title and featured image of the lone published post not appear in the third featured page area of the front page template, but they don’t appear on the posts page or on the single post itself either.
Posts page — https://sbstage4.wordpress.com/posts/
Post 1 — https://sbstage4.wordpress.com/2015/01/07/post-1/ -

Found it! Post Format!
You had that blog post set as an “aside” post, which don’t show featured images. That was an elusive one ;)
