To hide something on your wall, find the post you want to hide and click on the three dots in the upper right corner of the post. From the dropdown menu, select Hide from timeline. This action won't delete the post but will remove it from your timeline, so it's not visible to your friends or the public, depending on your privacy settings. If you decide later on, you can go to your Activity Log to unhide it.
