• Hi. I am not trained in computing but is there some way for me to make it so that the tags do not appear on my websites? I really hate the look of that and I would love for them not to appear but I am not sure how to go about this. Is there some way to make them invisible? Thanks!

    do you mean post tags or something else?

    Hi! Yes. I mean the tags that I have entered for search engine visibility on articles (with issue m) and blog posts. I like the editor style free themes I use for this which are easy to read but the tags look dreadful and there does not seem to be any way to remove them from being visible at the bottom of the posts and artcles. In fact they seem to show up with most of the themes.

    i am not a fan of using tags for SEO purposes, but I do use tags for other purposes. i don’t normally display the tags on my posts so i can understand why you would like to remove theme.
    ====
    the way to remove the tags is to make changes to the theme files.
    do you feel comfortable making changes to a bit of the coding?
    are you using a child theme?
    do you have a backup of of your website.

    Hi!

    Is using tags a bad thing? Doesn’t it help people find your site and people search for it? What do you use them for? I may well not understand what the connotations are.

    Does one make changes to the theme files in the host itself?
    Well it does sound a little scary but I would like to understand. I do not think I am using a child theme. I do have an backup and restore plugin but perhaps I could try it on another site first if case I make a dreadful mistake.(-;

    tags are not bad but you should have a plan for how and why you are using them
    ===
    if you have a website to practice theme changes, that would be a good thing.
    ===
    using a child theme is important for any theme changes…otherwise, the changes you make will be lost during any future upgrades.
    ===
    backup plan is good!

    i can’t really advise exactly how to make change since:
    1-i don’t have a link to your website
    2-i don’t know what theme you are using
