SP 2013 Branding - How to remove this area containing Browse, Page, Share and Follow options?

Hi there,

The area just under the blue bar and above my custom image - we do not want it. How to remove it please? Ideally if we can move those options (Browse, Page, Share and Follow) to the blue bar just above it, that will be great.

Thanks.

Hi 

you can add a CSS and add following style 

<style type="text/css">
 
a[id$=site_share_button], a[id$=SyncPromotedAction], a#site_follow_button
{
    display: none !important;
}
 
</style>

Hi Frob,

From your description, my understanding is that you want to remove the area below blue bar.

You could use CSS to accomplish your requirement. Please refer to this code below:

<style type="text/css">

.ms-cui-topBar2{

                display:none;

}

</style>

The screenshot shows how to get the selector and my test result:

Hi frob ,

If you are looking to remove the area containing Browse, Page, Share and Follow 

<style type="text/css">

#globalNavBox{

display:none;

}

</style>

This will completely hide the area containing all options :)

Hope this helps !

Hi Vincent 

This will only hide all the options on the bar not the bar itself 

Hope you get it :)

As Vincent pointed out - this will only hide the buttons - while I need to hide the white space as well. Also the buttons need to be moved to other area (to keep the functionality).

Any idea on how this can be achieved please?

Thanks you.

did you try this ??

<style type="text/css">

#globalNavBox{

display:none;

}
</style>

Please refer above I have more details to it 

There are 2 options : 

1) Remove the globalNavBox completely  - which also removes Share,Follow etc buttons 

2) Change the colour of globalNavBox to the custom image which you have , the results in this case would be that any user will not be able to make out the difference,so your issue of white space is resolved and you can change the position of Share,Follow buttons anywhere you want on globalNavBox 

I am not sure if you can move Share,Follow on the blue bar
