Hey everyone!

I'm brand new to DW, I used to be around LJ a lot, but after their latest attempt at trying to "fix" things that did not need to be fixed, I felt like it was the very last drop and decided to jump ship-- As I'm sure many more will, after all, why are we paying people to only make our life more difficult with their "updates", right?

But here is the thing: I don't know anything (and I truly mean anything) about CSS or HTML.

Yes, I was able to find a tutorial made by a very, very kind soul, explaining how to pass the Flexible Squares layout over here-- Something that I have accomplished! Same with the custom CSS I used to have, back then.

Problem is, for some reason, in the navigation bar at the header, besides the usual "Recent Posts", "Friends", "Archive" and "Profile" that we can change the texts for, I now also have a "Tags" and "Memories" on the bar.

I thought I could possibly figure out how to make them disappear on my own, but, well, turns out I can't.

The case in question is not on this account, which I will be "prettifying", later today, but if someone could give me some lights as to how to make those two options disappear from the navigation bar (or, at least, how to change the text for them) I would appreciate tons!

Thanks a lot in advance!

It helps a lot if you link to the journal you're asking advise on. Since you haven't, I can only offer general advice.

Memories and Tags are standard items in the navigation module, on DW. If they show up, then the version of Flexible Squares you're using must be calling on the standard module, and that means you should be able to change the text for those links in the same place you can change the text for everything else. The menus you want are: Organization > Customize Style > Text.

If your navigation links aren't showing up in the Text customize section, then that means the Flexible Squares you're using is neither a direct copy nor an adapted copy, but a hack which is kind of broken. In that case, go to the Custom CSS pane of the Customize Style section and paste this into the big text window:

.module-navlinks .memories,
.module-navlinks .tags { display: none; }

I've ran across a code to help eliminate certain links from the navigation. I'll see if I can find it again.

Add this to your custom CSS and it should get rid of the "Tags" and "Memories" links:

ul.navheader li+li+li+li, ul.navheader li+li+li+li+li { display: none; }

ul.navheader li+li+li+li+li+li { display: inline; }
