πŸ“Œ Hide Post Tags in Hestia Theme (Free & Pro)

βœ… 1. Built-in Setting in Customizer

Hestia includes an option in the WordPress Customizer to control whether tags are shown on single posts.

  1. Go to Appearance β†’ Customize in your WordPress dashboard.
  2. Navigate to Blog Settings β†’ Posts & Pages.
  3. Look for a toggle labeled Display Tags.
  4. Turn it Off β†’ Publish/save your changes.

πŸ“Œ 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.


βœ… 2. Use CSS to Hide Tags (Alternative)

If your version of Hestia doesn’t show a β€œDisplay Tags” option in the customizer, you can hide tags with a small CSS snippet:

  1. Go to Appearance β†’ Customize β†’ Additional CSS.
  2. Paste this CSS:
.single-post .post-tags {
    display: none !important;
}
  1. Click Publish.

That will hide the tags section on all single post pages β€” useful when the theme doesn’t provide a direct toggle.


πŸ”Ž Notes / Additional Tips

🧩 Where Tags Show Up

In Hestia, β€œtags” are part of the post meta shown below the post content. In the Customizer under Blog Settings β†’ Posts & Pages you can choose to show/hide:

  • Categories
  • Tags
  • Related posts section

Turning off β€œDisplay Tags” here directly removes them without CSS.

πŸ’‘ Why You Might Still See Tags

If tags still show after CSS:

  • Your theme version might use a different CSS class β†’ inspect your site code to confirm the selector.
  • A child theme or page builder template might override the default output.

πŸ› οΈ 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;
}
