    Hi There,

    Would someone be kind enough to give me the CSS code to prevent recent posts from appearing on my Home page?

    My Site: http://vpvideoproductions.com/

    Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

    Laura

    The blog I need help with is vpvideoproductions.com.

    You have set that page to use the "showcase" template.
    Change it to be a page with "default" or "sidebar" template.

    No CSS needed in this case…

    That does indeed work. But it's not quite the look I want. Is there any way I can keep the "showcase" template without having recent posts on the page?

    Thanks so much for your help!

    I don't believe you can.

    CSS might be a way, though I doubt it: Cascading Style Sheets affect only the appearance and not the function of a site. The "showcase" template is part of the way Twenty Eleven functions.

    But perhaps someone with CSS wizardry could think of a way to make it work, unlikely as it appears to me…

    @Tess: Changing the appearance includes hiding an element, so removing the Recent Posts section is quite possible - very easy, in fact.

    @Laura: But I don't see why you're interested in this instead of following Tess's suggestion. The only other differences between a showcase template page and a default template page are the featured posts slider and the showcase sidebar: you're using none of the two, so I don't get your "not quite the look I want".

    Tess, Thanks for all your help! It turns out your suggestion is the answer for me.

    Justpi, I didn't like the large "Home" graphic on the page when it was set to "default." You got me thinking with your reply, and I just went in and removed it. I guess I wasn't seeing the forest for the trees, at that point!

    Thanks so much to you both!! Problem solved! : )

    @justpi: I am interested in following up with your comment about the 'ease of hiding the recent post section of the showcase template.' For a variety of reasons, I like the showcase template much better than the sidebar or default template. Can you share the code with me that would accomplish this?

    I have CSS enabled on my site micjammac.com.
