Thanks!

You can hide all the text for titles on Fresh & Clean category page headings, including the "Filed Under" text, with a little CSS trickery. Try this out:

.archive-title {
  visibility: hidden;
}

.archive-title span {
  visibility: visible;
  float: left;
}

Here is one of the posts from the demo blog: http://freshandcleandemo.wordpress.com/2011/07/07/posuere-et-vestibulum-vitae-congue-a-elit/

The first line under the post title says, "This entry was posted on July 7, 2011, in Artwork, Photos, Writing and tagged panache."

As an example, which part of that do you want to hide?

I've just begun my blog in WordPress. The theme I'm using is Fresh & Clean, and I'm modifying CSS with Custom Design. I would like to change (or erase) the text "Filed under..." that appears with the categories. Is this possible?

Thank you so much,

Diana

.post-date, .author-link, .cat-links, .tag-links, .post-meta .meta-sep {
display: none;
}

If you wanted to get rid of everything including the leave a comment link, then you would use this instead.

.post-meta {
display: none;
}

As an example, this would hide the entire dive with id="main":

#main {
    display: none;
}

On the demo site, you will see three main sections on the front page. The top section is the featured post slider section. To get a post to show in the featured post slider, you have to set it as a sticky post. You have to activate the featured posts feature at appearance > theme options.

The second section is your latest posts section which will highlight your 4 latest posts. You have to activate this feature at appearance > theme options. If you have a featured image set for your posts, the image will be used in the latest posts modules, otherwise it will just pull the beginning of the text into the bubble.

The third section at the bottom is the main content area which will display your posts in the standard blog layout with the latest post at the top with older ones underneath that. Sadly this repeats the 4 shown in the latest posts section above. You will see the sidebar you see at top left on your site in the bottom main content area on the demo site.

If you look at the demo site, you will see that once you get things configured like the demo site, there is going to be very little room for a search box at top right.

What you are seeing in the sidebar of the main content area is a sample set of widgets the theme will display when you have not yet added any widgets. To get the categories widget to disappear, go to appearance > widgets and add the search widget, or whatever widget you wish to the sidebar and the sample set will disappear.

I am using the "Selecta" Theme and I would like my site to look as close to the theme as the example. Can you tell me how to remove the "Categories" and to move the search bar to the top right?

Thanks!!!

You will not be able to make substantial changes to the appearance of the blog without learning CSS and purchasing the paid CSS upgrade. Note that there is no official support for it, and hardly any of the volunteers know how to use CSS, so you're pretty much on your own with it. Do not buy it if you don't already know CSS.

That said, it might be possible for you to make minor alterations. Look on this blog for tips specifically for WordPress.Com blogs: http://csswiz.wordpress.com

...and I just downloaded Firebug and will take your advice.

Thanks.

The "comments" link at the bottom of the post is under .commentPos .

If you are going to be working with CSS, and you use Firefox, you really need to get the Firebug addon for FF and take the time to learn how to use it (it isn't difficult) so that you can identify what controls what in the CSS.
