Removing Recent Posts from Showcase template in Twenty Eleven theme

  • I saw some posts about a line to add to eliminate the “recent posts” on the bottom of the showcase template page.

    .page-template-showcase-php section.recent-posts {
    display: none;
    }

    But I’m pretty new to wordpress and am not clear if I need to change existing code in the showcase template (under the Appearance, Editor, Showcase Template Page) or if I’m just adding this line and where I would add it. Could someone clarify for me.

    I’m also not clear if I need some type of upgrade to be able to do this or not. Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks

    Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues. Create a child theme for your changes.

    You put the code in your child theme’s stylesheet style.css.

    Thank you. I have created a child them so I’m good.

    On the code, is there a specific place to put it in the style.css? Do I need to delete anything?

    Thanks for your help.

    Just put it after this “@import url(“../twentyeleven/style.css”);” in your child theme style.css.

    So either I did it wrong or that didn’t work.

    Just to clarify – I have set up a child theme for twenty eleven so I don’t need info on that.

    I just want to remove the “recent posts” from the bottom of the showcase template. A different post said to place the following in I thought the showcase template php.

    .page-template-showcase-php section.recent-posts {
    display: none;
    }

    Are you saying this should go in the style.css? Is this the correct code to make the change I want? Or do I find something that looks like this and change the display to none?

    Sorry I’m pretty new at all this.
    Thanks.

    Never mind. I figured it out. Just went to the style.css, found the sections on showcase template, then found the section on recent-posts and added the {display: none;} as the first line and it worked.

    Thanks for your help.
