Don't want to show the page title, but keep page title in search results.

  • By default after publishing a page, the page title show in the page. I want to remove it. NOT WANT TO REMOVE FROM TOP BAR TITLE. Just from the page.

    I used this this css

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

    But it takes the titles out of the search results, therefore you cannot click on the search results. How do i keep the title in the search results but stop displaying the title on the page.

    Try a plugin like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wordpress-seo/ which allows you to provide a special title specifically for search results.

    I did but, the title still doesn’t show up.

    please post a live link to a page of your site, to allow the helpers here to investigate the involved CSS.

    for example, assuming your theme uses body_class(), a page might also have the CSS class .page-template-default on the static page, but not on the search results; you could use that to make your CSS more specific.

    edit:
    PS
    what theme are you using?

    Is the homepage the place you want to remove the title from?

    In that case:

    body.home .entry-title { display: none; }

    Changes are not made in Google’s index immediately. They have the entire internet to worry about.

    If you are setting an “SEO Title” with the Yoast SEO plugin, Google will *eventually* list that as a title. You will most likely notice it first with your next published post.

    I’m pretty sure he’s talking about the search results on his website, not the search results on Google.

    I am using Zerif Lite, I want to remove the titles from the subpages, not the homepage, But when I use .page .entry-title { display: none; } .
    The title from the wordpress search disappears as well

    Did you try what wpnewbs suggested?

    body.home .entry-title { display: none; }

    Try this first:

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

    Your original code targets all elements with the class of “page”, and you want to target the body only.

    If that doesn’t work out the:

    body[class*="page-template-"] .entry-title { display: none; }

    The body on pages receives a class “page-template-TEMPLATENAME” which is applied only to pages, so the code above will target only pages.
