How can I delete preview text on a blog selection page?

Topic summary

Goal: Hide the preview/excerpt text on the blog listing (selection) page while keeping full text on individual posts.

Confirmed solution: Adding a CSS rule to the theme’s stylesheet resolved it for the original poster. Steps: Online Store → Theme → Edit code → assets/theme.css, then add a rule that hides the rich-text element on the blog template (selector used: .template-blog .rte with display: none !important). A screenshot was shared to show the targeted preview area.

Outcome: The original site (thesindiary.com, Lookbook page) was fixed and confirmed working.

Open issues/requests:

  • Another user asked for help applying the same change to miamorpets.com (no posted resolution).
  • Multiple users reported their theme does not have a theme.css file (including Craft theme) and asked for alternatives; no follow-up solution was provided in the thread.

Status: Partially resolved. The CSS approach works when a theme.css file exists; guidance is still needed for themes without that file or where styles are organized differently.

My theme somehow doesn’t have the theme.css section. Would there be any other alternative?
