    Hey, I’ve heard that using css to hide stuff might hurt SEO. Is that true? I need to hide widget titles, I can’t figure out how to remove them otherwise.
    Thanks!

    Hayley there other ways to hide. you can position off the screen (negatively), but really as long as you have your content [html], presentation [css], functionality [js] seperate you should be good SEO wise. so no inline styles setting something display:none

    As long as you aren’t doing anything dubious and it helps the design of a site or has a sort of functionality to the site. I don’t think you should be in any immediate danger.
