Remove default image and showcase area on homepage

There are a couple ways to go. Here is the easiest.

Edit style.css and add “display: none; ” (without the quotes) to style.css. Around line 275 you will find:

#showcase {
max-width: 1170px;
margin: 1% auto;
padding: 1% 5%;
background-color: #934e49;
display: none; /* added to hide hero image */
}

Notice the last line that I added?

Of course there are good reasons not to edit the main theme/files. It is always prudent to create a child theme, whereupon you can effect your edits, thus preserving them in the event that the theme gets updated in the future.

There are those lazy cheeky short-cutters whom would have you drop in the jetpack plugin, that would then allow you to add custom css that would not be overwritten during a theme update. Color me old school. I can’t see adding a bunch of unnecessary code to accomplish simple things.

Thanks so much. Worked like a charm! I agree with using Child themes and this awesome author of Styled Themes includes child themes, even for Lite versions.

Actually….to disable the default image on the showcase, this is set by the WP Header feature. Simpy go to Appearance >> Header, and then remove the image from there, then save. All done ??

Oh, thanks so much. I can’t believe I didn’t see that.

Thanks again.

No worries, it’s all good ??
I’m assuming this topic is solved then?

Resolved, thanks!!!!
