Can't eliminate vertical line after suppressing post meta

The line is coming from a border on the bottom of your “post-title” <h3> tag
border-bottom: 5px solid #333;
Does your theme have an easy way to customize your tags?

yes, i can edit the css file directly…so, i should just eliminate that line, correct?

I always play it safe and comment stuff out until I verify it works, then I’ll delete it. That should get rid of the line under the headings for you though.

ok, i found the line in the style.css file, and commented it out, but the vertical line remains…i also tried deleting it, same outcome…and thanks a lot for your help

I am very very sorry, I read your post wrong. I saw “horizonal” line instead of the “vertical” that you actually typed. The vertical line disappears when you remove display: inline-block; from the following starting on line 1200 in your stylesheet:

.widget-category-posts .small-post .postmeta {
	display: inline-block;
	background: none;
	padding: 0 0.3em 0.3em 0;
	font-size: 0.9em;
}

Sorry again for leading you astray the first time!

no problem, i appreciate the help…i commented out the line, but now the site wont load…i changed it back and the site still wont load…any idea what could have happened?

ok…somehow the index.php file was missing????…i replaced it and the site came back up…then i applied your masterful fix and the vertical line is now gone…thanks a lot for your help

I’m not sure what would have caused the index.php to disappear, but at least you were able to get it back. I’m glad the fix worked, even if we did take the the long path to get you there. I’m happy I could help.

One last thing to consider is if you aren’t using a child theme, the change you made will be overwritten with an upgrade to the theme.

i know, right now im not applying updates to the theme…i made small changes to a lot of files to get the theme the way i needed it…so im trying to learn how to create the child theme without losing all the changes

Have you taken a look at the codex for creating child themes?

That is pretty off topic for the subject of this post/thread, but I want to make sure you have the help you need getting your theme converted to a child theme. If you have questions after looking at the codex, please post a question on the Themes and Templates forum and I will do my best to help out.

yes, ive looked at the codex, and will again…thanks for the help, aand the offer of future help, im sure ill need some…thanks again
