How can I remove the categories link from my homepage?

What theme are you using? Where did you download it from?

I am using standard Twenty Thirteen.

Go see: unhappened [dot] com.

Thankyou.

Do not edit the theme itself. First create a child theme for your changes. Or install a custom CSS plugin.

I think you missed the word “newbie”. How do I get into such a directory: wp-content/themes?

Using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

So, on my very slow connection, I am now downloading FileZilla, will then follow directions from codex.www.ads-software.com/FTP_Clients, then from codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes, (all to remove one (1) single word!), and hopefully get back to you if I need to.

Thankyou for your time.

You can add the following css code to remove it

.categories-links {
display: none;
}

Add it where?, (say I as I struggle to learn FileZilla, and so determine why it will not let me access my site).

Although, a few weeks back, I did try your suggestion, after a Google search, to no avail. But I will try again.

Thankyou

download a custom css plugin and add it there. That way you can avoid the hassle of filezilla if you are not comfortable with it.

You can add it by custom css plugin or you can add it to your style.css file if using child theme .

I think the word “newbie” has conceptually very little meaning any more. I wish you could all appreciate this as much as I do your help. Last year I taught computers and the internet to some smart, intuitve, but very mature people, and out of 19, not one could successfully set up a WordPress site to their satisfaction, the learning curve was so steep. I am young and have two other lives, so it is to be expected that I have very little time left for any sort of what I believe is called, no insult intended, geekdom.

It seems that my extraordinarily simple desire to remove one (1) word from my webpage is now beginning to smack of obsessionality, (hours on Google, finding solutions to old versions of WP, solutions that do not work; seeking help here; downloading FileZilla, installing it, failing to log on, commencing to learn this whole new program; trying to understand the above “…download a custom css plugin and add it there”, “… or you can add it to your style.css file if using child theme.”…

And my little site is nothing about me, anyway, but someone else.

My mother could speak Urdu, I know a little. If you asked me, in English, a little question about this language, you would hardly expect me to answer in Urdu, but rather in English; I say newbie, and I get Urdu.

I am not asking for a crash course, nor for anyone to solve my no problem for me, but a little English would be much appreciated. People, thankyou, and if no further responses come, still thankyou.

I mean how much more plain english and basic can we get in our explination??

1. Download a custom CSS plugin (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/simple-custom-css/)
2. Add said CSS to plugin ( .categories-links {display: none;} )
3. Save
4. Refresh

What bothers me most is that people come into these forums expecting the work to be completed for them. You need to understand that when developing a site, you’ll have to do a bit of research and trial and error yourself.

No two websites are built the same way. There is no magic bullet/magical steps to resolve your issue. If what we have said above is still above your head, I would consider hiring someone to do it for you.

Exactly: Urdu.

Download custom CSS plugin: from plugin page?, but which?

Add said CSS: how?

Save: yes, the button at the bottom.

Refresh: F5.

Mostly Urdu.

Thankyou, (the meaning of the term lehmens, escapes me)

Go to Plugins >> add new
Search there for “simple custom css” . Add that plugin , activate it and then add the code .

I literally copy and pasted a link to a plugin that will do what you need, and provided the CSS that gk2raghav has provided for you.
