Hi,

I want to hide recently modified option from page.

I have also tried the solution to insert content editor and added following css on page:

<style type="text/css"> 
.s4-recentchanges 
{ 
display:none; 
} 
</style>
But still not working for me.
I have also tried to edit the master page but its not allowing to edit.
Its giving me following error:

PLease help to solve the issue.

Thanks in advance!

Regards

Hello,

if you are using an out of the box SharePoint 2010 template, then default.master is not the correct master page to edit, anyway. 

You should also avoid changing the original master pages. Instead, create a new master page and set your site to use your custom master page. 

What kind of site are you working with? 

Method with CEWP: Put the CSS into a text file. Upload that text file to a document library in the site. Now create a Content Editor Web Part on a page and link to that text file. If this does not work then double check that the CSS is correct and that the file is loaded.

Master Page method: In SharePoint click the ribbon icon to create a new master page. Then open the v4.master and copy all the code. Paste it into the new master page, replacing any existing code. Now load the CSS in the page header. Save the new custom master page and set it as the default master page.

Please create a "Content editor" webpart on your page and Edit HTML to add:

<style type="text/css"> 
.s4-recentchanges 
{ 
display:none; 
} 
</style>
After that modified webpart name to be clear (like "Hiding recently modified") and change display to "none".

Allion, did you read the question? There it says that the asker has done exactly that, but it did not work. Please take more care in understanding the question before you post an answer.

Hi teylyn,

I think it works. Need to insert the css code through "Edit HTML Source" ribbon button.

Hi Allion,

Your given solution is right. Actually i was adding this css in master page.

But theer is no need to add css in master page. We can simple add a 'Content Editor'  and can add this css in that and display none. It will work exaclty as i want.

For other user who facing the same issue can check given blog:
