style_system | Very failed style

I have a really very old theme, probably almost as old as Dreamwidth. I must have had some help to do some customisation somewhere along the way, because it's exactly the way I want it, except that something must have gotten borked.

Near the top of my entries page I have "active entries," "style credit" and "expand cut tags" in a really big font, none of which I want to see there. But I don't seem to be able to control them through "modules," so I'm a bit stuck.

The style is apparently "Minimalist Again (Rilina) (#71929)." I've put the code from my layout layer under the cut, in the hopes that this is the right information to share.

Any help would be much appreciated! As you can tell I'm over my head but I can't find anything I like as much as my current style, if I could just get the stray bits under control.

I think the entry autoformatting/html cleaner may be eating some of this - can you either surround it with textarea tags, or paste it somewhere like pastebin.com so I know I'm looking at the whole thing?

naraht

Apologies! I've done the textarea tags and it should also be at Pastebin here: https://pastebin.com/Ng0KtMiM

Thanks so much for taking a look at it.

momijizukamori can fix it. They can fix anything, including parts of the importer.

Apparently so! So lucky to have someone around who knows their stuff. :)

Okay, assuming you just want to hide those rather than moving them somewhere else? If so, add this to the Custom CSS field in the wizard:

That's fantastic, thank you so much for your help! If I wanted to hide the search as well, what would I add to do that?

Add .module-search to the list of module classes :)

Brilliant! I totally should have worked that out myself.

Thank you so much for your help, you've made my Dreamwidth experience much happier. :)
