Hide hashtags

It’s beneficial to add hashtags in your Click to Tweet boxes to further your reach on Twitter. However, hashtags might not always look the best in the middle of your content. You can hide hashtags visually on the front-end, so they are only added when shared to Twitter. This gives you the best of both worlds.
