Changing size of page headline

before proceeding, it is really recommended to create a child theme https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes

the page title is defined in style.css of twenty eleven:

.singular .entry-title {
	color: #000;
	font-size: 36px;
	font-weight: bold;
	line-height: 48px;
}

to make the page titles disappear, add in the style.css of your child theme:

.page.singular .entry-title { display: none; }

I have read your link.

I created a folder under wp-content > themes, and called it “child”.

I made a file in this looking like:

/*
Theme Name: Twenty Eleven Child
Theme URI: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/themes/twentyeleven
Description: Child Theme for Basic2Col
Author: Dahlia
Author URI: https://www.ads-software.com/
Template: Twenty Eleven Child
Version: 1.2
*/

@import url(“../twentyeleven/style.css”);

followed by the original stylesheet code from twentyeleven, which I called style.css

When I go into Appearance > themes, it says under Broken Themes: “The parent theme is missing. Please install the “Twenty Eleven Child” parent theme.”

So … I need to put something more in my “child” folder I suppose?

You have the template name wrong.

It should be Template: twentyeleven

When you enter the template name, you need to put in the name as it is in the file directory.

The template is the name of the main theme of which you are making a child theme, which is Twenty Eleven.

I didn’t have the chance to quote your answer before you changed it ?? But yeah, twentyeleven works ?? Thanks.

You’re welcome! ??

However – my main problem is still a problem. I am not so strong in html, and what alchymyth is saying makes sense – though I can’t find .entry.title anywhere, and if I paste .page.singular .entry-title { display: none; } somewhere, it doesn’t work. My code looks like this:

/* Singular */

.singular #primary {

margin: 0;

}

.singular #content,

.left-sidebar.singular #content {

margin: 0 7.6%;

position: relative;

width: auto;

}

.singular .entry-header

.singular .entry-content,

.singular footer.entry-meta,

.singular #comments-title {

margin: 0 auto;

width: 68.9%;

}

I was thinking if I should remove some code from the header.php file instead?

you should be able to find this nearly halfway down in style.css, a few lines after:

/* Singular content styles for Posts and Pages */

.singular .entry-title {
	color: #000;
	font-size: 36px;
	font-weight: bold;
	line-height: 48px;
}

adding display: none; should work
– if not, try and clear the browser cache by pressing ‘CTRL F5’

if you rather edit one of the templates, you’ll find the entry-title code for pages in content-page.php:

<header class="entry-header">
		<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
	</header><!-- .entry-header -->

Thank you! Problem solved.
