How to remove page title from pages in wordpress

You may need the remove the page title from few or all of the pages in wordpress site. If you have created a static front page titled ‘Home’ then it is obvious to remove the title form the page. There are two methods to do the same.

2. Now paste the following lines of code as per your requirements:

.page .entry-title {

display: none;

}

The above removes title from all pages only

.entry-title {

display: none;

}

The above removes title from all pages and posts

.page-id-16 .entry-title {

display: none;

}

2) Editing page template

Other, yet robust, method is to edit the page template file or create a new page template file. Page template file is a PHP file which builds the page content. To remove the page title open the file from either the WordPress dashboard > appearance > editor or on your hosting account. Instructions to do this should be in one of the above mentioned posts. Make sure to make a backup of the file you are editing to fix any mistakes! Now look for and remove the code that looks like this:

<h2>” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

Save the file and look at a page that is using the page template you just edited. The title of the page should no longer appear above the content.
