  Hi There,

  Would someone be kind enough to give me the CSS code to prevent recent posts from appearing on my Home page?

  My Site: http://vpvideoproductions.com/

  Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

  You have set that page to use the “showcase” template.
  Change it to be a page with “default” or “sidebar” template.

  No CSS needed in this case…

  That does indeed work. But it’s not quite the look I want. Is there any way I can keep the “showcase” template without having recent posts on the page?

  Thanks so much for your help!

  I don’t believe you can.

  CSS might be a way, though I doubt it: Cascading Style Sheets affect only the appearance and not the function of a site. The “showcase” template is part of the way Twenty Eleven functions.

  But perhaps someone with CSS wizardry could think of a way to make it work, unlikely as it appears to me…

  @Tess: Changing the appearance includes hiding an element, so removing the Recent Posts section is quite possible – very easy, in fact.

  @Laura: But I don’t see why you’re interested in this instead of following Tess’s suggestion. The only other differences between a showcase template page and a default template page are the featured posts slider and the showcase sidebar: you’re using none of the two, so I don’t get your “not quite the look I want”.

  Tess, Thanks for all your help! It turns out your suggestion is the answer for me.

  Justpi, I didn’t like the large “Home” graphic on the page when it was set to “default.” You got me thinking with your reply, and I just went in and removed it. I guess I wasn’t seeing the forest for the trees, at that point!

  Thanks so much to you both!! Problem solved! : )

  @justpi: I am interested in following up with your comment about the ‘ease of hiding the recent post section of the showcase template.’ For a variety of reasons, I like the showcase template much better than the sidebar or default template. Can you share the code with me that would accomplish this?

  I have CSS enabled on my site micjammac.com.
