Hide Page Name Titles WordPress
Why would you want to hide page name titles in WordPress, well the simple answer is that it does not mean you do not want to use them it means you want a nice neat menu, can you imagine if my menu say’s “Hide Page Name Titles WordPress” on a page it would be 
an ugly menu.
You can simply add a page title using the heading 1 tag from the drop-down text styles. (See Image on right).
By doing this your H1 tag is still there if you want it, and you can organise your pages easier when you scroll through them in the pages menu in admin.
So lets now hide page name titles wordpress, I have as most of my tutorials based this on the WordPress Twenty Twelve theme but pretty much will apply to all themes. Now standard warning Use your child theme if you have not created one start reading here first.
Open the original content-page.php from your theme. This should look like below.

<?php /** * The template used for displaying page content in page.php * * @package WordPress * @subpackage Twenty_Twelve * @since Twenty Twelve 1.0 */ ?> <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>> <header> <h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1> </header> <div> <?php the_content(); ?> <?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div>' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentytwelve' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?> </div><!-- .entry-content --> <footer> <?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'twentytwelve' ), '<span>', '</span>' ); ?> </footer><!-- .entry-meta --> </article><!-- #post --></pre> Alter the header section be be as below. <pre><Article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>> <?php if(!is_page()): ?> <header> <h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1> </header> |
Now if you just want to remove the page name from the home page of your site replace is_page with is_front_page , I know a lot of people want to use a static front page so this is a handy one for removing the page name in WordPress just on the home page.
