📌 Hide Post Tags in Hestia Theme (Free & Pro)
✅ 1. Built-in Setting in Customizer
Hestia includes an option in the WordPress Customizer to control whether tags are shown on single posts.
- Go to Appearance → Customize in your WordPress dashboard.
- Navigate to Blog Settings → Posts & Pages.
- Look for a toggle labeled Display Tags.
- Turn it Off → Publish/save your changes.
📌 This option hides tags attached to your posts without code.
Note: In the pro version additional options might be available, but the free version already includes Display Tags control.
✅ 2. Use CSS to Hide Tags (Alternative)
If your version of Hestia doesn’t show a “Display Tags” option in the customizer, you can hide tags with a small CSS snippet:
- Go to Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS.
- Paste this CSS:
.single-post .post-tags {
display: none !important;
}
- Click Publish.
That will hide the tags section on all single post pages — useful when the theme doesn’t provide a direct toggle.
🔎 Notes / Additional Tips
🧩 Where Tags Show Up
In Hestia, “tags” are part of the post meta shown below the post content. In the Customizer under Blog Settings → Posts & Pages you can choose to show/hide:
- Categories
- Tags
- Related posts section
Turning off “Display Tags” here directly removes them without CSS.
💡 Why You Might Still See Tags
If tags still show after CSS:
- Your theme version might use a different CSS class → inspect your site code to confirm the selector.
- A child theme or page builder template might override the default output.
🛠️ Bonus: Hide Other Post Meta (Date / Author / Categories)
If you want to hide other metadata (e.g., date or author) too, add similar CSS:
.single-post .posted-on,
.single-post .byline,
.single-post .cat-links {
display: none !important;
}
