Deleting post text preview on home page?

  • Hi there team,

    I’m a photographer wading through the world of WordPress for the first time trying to set up a portfolio site. I’m using f8 Lite – my site is here: https://www.sarahwalkerphotos.com/.

    Slightly strange question. I had a wade through the forums and couldn’t find a similar one.

    I want to add both text and images to the separate posts shown on the home page, but I don’t want the text in them to be previewed. For example, under ‘Film’, I don’t want it to say ‘Night Minds Trailer from Sarah Walker on Vimeo.’

    In an ideal world, I’d also like to cut out the ‘April 6, 2011 | Comments’ text as well. Essentially, I just want the six thumbnails visible.

    Any ideas? I’m a complete n00b when it comes to coding, so apologies in advance if I ask stupid questions.

    Thanks a lot in advance for your help, all.

    S

    I have no idea why that would be – it works for me when I’m logged out, as well as on my iPhone (also logged out).

    OK it has loaded now.

    Probably the easiest way is to add this to the bottom of your stylesheet

    .home .container-inner p{
     display: none;
}

    Hope this helps

    without going into the template files to stop the output from being generated at all, you could simply suppress the output to the screen by adding something like this to style.css of your theme:

    body.home .container-inner p { display: none; }

    where you add it does not really matter; maybe keep an area at the end of style.css for your edits and additions.

    Actually, while we’re here, how would I go about removing entirely the post title and corresponding black underline, so all that displays are the thumbnails?

    Thanks again for the speed and accuracy of your replies, you two. You’re great.

    body.home h6.archive-header { display:none; }

    Aw hell yeah. Thanks so much! It looks rad.

    As a general note, too, I don’t think I’ve ever come across an online community that’s so unequivocally generous with their knowledge. It’s made my night. Thankyou again.

    Could anyone help me please. I have F8 Lite installed as my theme which I have customised. https://www.davidpaulroberts.com

    On the contact page, the word Contact appears on the top left of the page. I want to remove this but keep the contact link in the menu.

    Thanks in advance
