XF 2.1 How do I get rid of

[Jovial Monk]

Threads, messages and the last post on the front page of my board? Just clutters up the front page and the info can be obtained anyway by clicking the New Posts button.

Add the following to the extra.less template:

.node-stats, .node-extra {
    display: none;
}

Ta. I better do a backup before trying that!

That template actually exists specifically so the admin can make changes to the CSS without touching the XenForo code directly. That template is the last one read so it will override the default XenForo CSS. You are safe to edit within extra.less. It should actually be a blank template on new installs. If it doesn't give you the desired look you can just go back in and remove the lines you added.

OK, did that, didn’t work.

 

[bzcomputers]

that does not appear to be the extra.less template you are editing.

 

[Jovial Monk]

OIC.

I DO really like XenForo but jeez you need a fair bit of computer knowledge to get the best out of it.

 

[Jovial Monk]

Where would the template reside?

 

[bzcomputers]

Admin Control Panel - Appearance - Templates - Filter: extra.less

Then place the code from above in the template and click save.

Wonderful! Thank you!

Last year I would have dived right into this, great learning experience but this year, COVID19 and too many complications from that no wish to do more than necessary.

Try this code in extra.less:

.node-stats, .node-extra {
    display: none !important;
}

If that doesn't work let me know and I'll look into it further.

Hello Thank you for your message. That didn't remove the stats but it did remove last post information.

Hello Thank you for your message. That didn't remove the stats but it did remove last post information.

This should do it...

.node-statsMeta, .node-stats, .node-extra {
    display: none;
}
