Facebook gives the possibility to put a "Like" on an individual post of a user or on pages related to events or of public interest. However, it does not allow to hide them. Fortunately, by accessing your activity log you will still be able to fix the problem.

Warnings
- Hiding posts from the timeline removes them from your main timeline. Events you "like" will not appear on your page unless you share them.
- Again, Facebook doesn't allow you to individually hide your "likes". When you check from the "Activity log", you can see the default settings of each post. You cannot edit them, only the author of the specific post is able to do so.
