  Hi everyone,

  I am having some trouble finding custom CSS to achieve the following in the twenty seventeen (child) theme:

  the front page shows all posts, the other menu entries are just single pages.

  I would very much like to remove the POSTS tile AND make the category as wide as
  the other pages.

  I can hide the POSTS tile on the left with:
  h2.page-title {
  display: none;
  }

  but this leaves an empty white space on the left, how can I make the category (NOT the single posts) as wide as simple pages?

  thanks for your input,

  geb

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Geb,

  Can you give the following custom CSS a try? It’ll increase the content on Twenty Seventeen’s home page so that it takes up 100% of the available space:

  header.entry-header {
      display: none;
  }
  
  body.page-two-column:not(.archive) #primary .entry-content {
      width: 100%;
  }

  As a heads up: From your description, it sounds like your site is hosted through a third-party company while we’re only able to provide full support for sites that are hosted here at WordPress.com.

  The fact that your site is running on the free software available over at WordPress.org may have led you to these forums.

  The difference between the two types of WordPress (WordPress.com and WordPress.org) is a common and understandable point of confusion. If you’re unsure of the differences, then this guide gives a good overview:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  As your site is hosted elsewhere, staff here at WordPress.com aren’t in the best position to help with further questions. Instead, I recommend the WordPress.org support forum for future questions:

  Thanks!

  Hi siobhyb,

  Thanks for the detailed reply!

  I tried your CSS, but unfortunately it only removes the post titles.

  Yes, I am aware of wordpress.org. I also posted my question there, but did not get any replies so far. ( https://wordpress.org/support/topic/2017-front-page-remove-posts-header-and-make-all-posts-wider/ )

  best,
