Deleting Blog Posts

    I have a blog page and post that I created.
    When I view the blog, it shows the posts I created but another blank post with a empty square with a question mark in the center.

    My suspicion is that the empty blog is probably the one I should have populate or developed with. The posts section displays 3 post items.
    The first is my blog post, the second says blog post title (which has pre-populated information, and the 3rd says title and does not seem to have anything in it when I try to open.

    My thinking is if I could delete the the blog post title line item, I would not have empty content showing up on my blog page, but WordPress does not have a delete option that I can see.

    Please take a peak at my blog page and give any suggestions to fix.

    Also, when I first open the blog page, my post only show the first sentence, then says continue to post.
    Two issues I have with this are:
    First I want to show the whole post without a continue, second when viewing the entire post, the title font is huge. I need to reduce the font size somehow, but as with most of these themes it takes some widget modification.

    Help please.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    I see only two posts on that page. If you’re logged in, you’ll see draft posts. Maybe that’s what you’re seeing?

    The 2nd one (http://tmp.counselorthewoodlands.com/hello-world/) does show “blog post title” as its title.

    First I want to show the whole post without a continue

    This is a theme thing. Post an issue here: https://github.com/godaddy/wp-uptown-style-theme

    the title font is huge

    .single .entry-title {
    font-size: 2rem;
}

    To add CSS:

    • If you are using WordPress 4.7 or later, use the “Additional CSS” option in the customizer.
    • If your theme has a custom CSS option, use that to add the CSS shown above.

    Learn to use the Chrome Developer Tools to help you see and test changes to your CSS.

    Steve,

    Thanks for your speedy reply. The css change works great.

    My point was that I don’t want the hello world post to show.

    Second, there is a embedded comment for that blog post that I want to get rid of as well.

    Example:
    Recent Comments

    Mr WordPress on Blog Post Title

    If I click on the Mr Worpress line it is a hyper link. I have no options to delete comments.

    Delete the “hello world” post. Edit it and click “move to trash”. You can also trash its comment.

    Steve,

    That was too obvious. Thanks again.
    Before I trashed that post, I removed the comments sidebar.
    Both work great.

    Trashing that page got rid of the ambiguous looking empty placeholder square for an so to speak empty blog.

    One last thing, maybe your already answered my question to this, Can I get rid of the “continue reading button” and just have my blog post show directly?
    Is there any benefit to me keeping the “continue reading button” like page load times, etc?

    That’s an issue with your theme. See the link above to contact the GoDaddy developers who wrote the theme.
