Tags Under Blog Posts Main Page – Balance Theme

[chrisfordParticipant Post count: 6]

I hope this is my last noob question for a while, but hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Tags are great, but I don’t really want to see them clustered under every blog post summary on my home page. The Balance theme sample looks fantastic without all the tags under the posts.

My site is at http://www.myfordassociates.com

It’s coming together really well, but I’d like to take the tags out from under the blog posts on the main page. I can throw a tag cloud on the sidebar or footer, maybe but the lists of tags under posts just doesn’t look appealing.

How do I make them disappear? It doesn’t hurt my Google rankings to not show them there, does it?

Thanks for your help!

Chris

So you only want the tags on your single posts and not the archive pages like your blog or homepage archives?

Hey Brad,

Sorry for the late response. For some reason, I didn’t receive a notification that I had a response to my question!

I just don’t want the tags to appear under the summaries on the main page. It looks messy and cluttered. Instead, I’ll use a tag cloud in the footer or sidebar.

I’ve been poking around looking for a setting of some kind to no avail.

Check out the main blog page: http://www.myfordassociates.com

The categories and tags are listed under each blog post like this:

FILED UNDER: MEDICAL DEVICES (EDIT)

TAGGED WITH: ALLERGAN, AMERICAN BOARD OF PLASTIC SURGERY, APPROVED, BRAIN CANCER, BREAST AUGMENTATION, BREAST CANCER, CAPSULAR CONTRACTURE, CDRH, CENTER FOR DEVICES AND RADIOLOGICAL HEALTH,CERVICAL, CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISEASE, FDA, FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, GEL, GRANT STEVENS, GUMMY BEAR,HANI ZEINI, JEFFERY SHUREN, LUNG CANCER, LYMPHOMA, MASTECTOMY, NATRELLE, NEUROLOGICAL DISEASE, REMOVAL OF IMPLANT, REOPERATION, REPRODUCTIVE COMPLICATIONS, RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, SIENTRA, SILICONE BREAST IMPLANT, VULVAR CANCER

I would like to get rid of the list of tags and keep the category only.

OK this is odd. I responded to you earlier this morning, but it’s not here.

On the main page – http://www.myfordassociates.com the tags are shown under each blog post summary.

It includes FILED IN: [category] then under that TAGGED WITH: [tags]

I just want to remove the TAGGED WITH: so they don’t show all over the main page that way. So, I’d like them to only show: FILED IN:

I think you’ll need to modify a custom function with conditional tag if you want to use PHP code:

or

An easier way is to use CSS code:

.home .post-meta .tags {
display: none;
}

Brad, you’re a genius. Thank you! I took the easy way – added

.home .post-meta .tags {
display: none;
}

Worked like a charm. Thank you very much!!
