I read this post and it mentioned to customize the CSS. I just wonder: how to do this more specifically?

> Is it possible to remove the description for the subcategory banners? In the example below, only “Clinical Leads” would be visible. I could use display:none, but the data is still loading. Thank you. [[image] ](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/0/f/0ff6042ccb8fbf69dfbdb9bbb55fb39477fad409.png)

I’m able to get this far:

And get to the code editor:

But from there on..?

Hi Ronald 🙂

Almost there!

Pay attention to the selector used you can see in your browser’s dev tools:

(on the right here)

As `.description` alone can target unwanted elements, the proper selector is:  
`.category-boxes .description`.

The code then would be:

```scss
.category-boxes .description {
  display: none;
}

```

Thank you very much! 😁

One little detail is the : should be ;, otherwise you get an error 😝

```plaintext
.category-boxes .description {
  display: none;
}

```
