# Can’t hide sections?

 * Hi again,
 * I’m trying to hide 2 specific sections – **.entry-footer** and **#comments**.
   
   I have set both under “Do Not Print Elements” in the settings page and to make
   sure added this short form to the page – `[print-me do_not_print=".entry-footer.
   post-footer" do_not_print="#comments" /]`
 * Even then, both sections still appear.
    What am I doing wrong?

 * you can only use the do_not_print attribute once per shortcode. Try something
   like:
 *     ```
       [print-me do_not_print=".entry-footer, #comments" /]
       ```
   
 * can you dig it?

 * Hmm… can you share a link?
    do you have a caching plugin installed?

 * I have a caching plugin installed, just turned it off just in case.

 * OK, it is working, it’s just that multiple articles are being printed.
    try using
   the target attribute to print only the current article:
 *     ```
       [print-me target=".post-%ID%" do_not_print=".entry-footer, #comments" /]
       ```
   
 * By the way, you can define both the do_not_print and target attributes globally
   in the plugin settings, so you do not have to include them on each shortcode.
