I created a page called “Home” to be my static home page. I don’t want the word “Home” at the top of the page. I have tried the custom css
.page-title
{
display: none !important;
}
but it did not work. Please advise. Thank you.bevyoung I have found the solution, type the following into the Theme Options>Design>Custom CSS, then change the font size to zero :
.single .entry-title,
.page .entry-title,
.error404 .entry-title {
font-size:0px;
line-height:0.62em;
}.page .entry-title,
.error404 .entry-title {
margin-bottom:22px;
}If there is a better way please share.
Nice Theme, very adaptable!
Hey a word of caution. I do SEO for a living and if you are using this theme as a basis for a business or want to rank high in Google. Do NOT hide the titles, they are H1 tags and Google uses those tags to properly index your web pages. It tells Google what that particular page is about. If you make the font a 0px Google will view that as a “black hat” SEO tactic and you will drop in Google search rankings. If you dont like the word “Home” after you create the page you can go in and change the name of the page but leave the URL the same. Just a warning.
Anngelik, thanks for the info I have change the px font size to 18px. As you can gather Im new to this, but hooked. This is my URL for the about page of my site – http://obriendesignconsulting.co.nz/?page_id=227, any ideas why the part “?page” does not say the page title – “about”?
Yeah I can help. Go to your “Settings” – “Permalinks”. In the Permalinks page select the “Post name” and save. I’m not sure if the URL will correct itself or not. You might have to re-create the page to get the new URL. If you need more help you can contact me at [email protected]
Anngelik your a star, thank you! All up and running now. Had a look at your site, very nice, really like the floaty face book thingy!
You should always have your social media connected to your website, gives you incredibly powerful back links though it does say those are “no follow” links but Google does place its ranking more on social media and interaction than ever before so I believe it does affect how Google ranks your site.
The original question is still not answered if you want to make sure your SEO ranking doesn’t drop! It would be awesome to have a check box in theme options that allows you to disable the page title on a static homepage… Does anyone know how to hide a static homepage title in this theme without setting font size to 0px?
I just wanted to share what worked for me to hide the page title solely on the homepage:
.home .entry-header {
display: none;
}You can simply save the page with no title, then you can select a label for it to appear only in the navigation menu.
You can remove page titles totally from a page by going to Appearance->Editor, choose the template, find:
?php the_title(); ?
Replace with something like this:
?php if( !is_page( array( 42,’about-me’,’Contact’,’Home’,’Etc’,’etc’,’etc’ ) ) ) the_title(); ?
This is case sensitive too, just add the title’s you want not to show.
Also to be a bit more clear on the SEO part of this. Yes this removes considerable SEO from your page, but an easy fix to this is to just put in the page itself, the tags around the keywords you want indexed. It’s simple. This is my tagged keywords, make sure you add this in the HTML mode, not the visual.
Can’t post HTML so just use the h1 tag.

Also, install the Ultimate TinyMCE plugin if you want some nice page tools, it helps.
