So you don’t want any navigation shown? Can you provide a screenshot and cross out what you don’t want displayed? Also realize that may make it hard for your users to navigate.

@cpradio Thanks again for the quick reply. I dont want those as I have already customized my home dashboard to include those ( Please refer attached ) .  
Please find the attached screen short. The dark circled once I want to remove.

Don’t do that. That will break your site.

Instead the following CSS customization will do what you want

```plaintext
.nav.nav-pills { display: none; }
.full-width .nav.nav-pills { display: block; }

```

**Edit:** Added `.full-width` style too, otherwise, the admin nav can disappear.
