How to remove double titles

Hello, I’m after the same thing, deleting double titles. The theme I’m using is Thematic and it doesn’t have a page.php. It looks like the php I need to modify might be on the index.php page. I’m not fluent in php. The two pages I’m trying to eliminate the double titles on is “About” and “Contact”, https://thedadreport.com/about/

Here is my index.php code

<?php get_header(); ?>
<!-- "You know what I need? I need a drink. There's some ice and stuff back there. Why don't you make us all some old fashioneds? - Tyler Fitzgerald" -->

<div id="contentwrap">

  <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<div class="entry">
		<h3 <?php if (is_page()) echo 'style="margin-bottom: 20px;" ' ?>class="entrytitle" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a title="Article-Link (Permalink)" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a> <?php edit_post_link('<img class="editpost" alt="Edit" src="' . get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/images/edit.gif" />', '', ''); ?></h3>
		<div class="entrymeta1">
		<?php

		if (! is_page()) {	// Do not display if we are on a page
			// Date and author
			if (is_single()) { $articledate = get_the_time('F j, Y, G:i') . ' Uhr'; } else { $articledate = get_the_time('F j, Y'); }
			echo '<span class="meta-time">' . $articledate . '</span><span class="meta-category">'; the_category(', '); echo '</span><span class="meta-author"><a title="author" href="'; the_author_url(); echo '">'; the_author(); echo '</a></span>';
			// Comments link
			comments_popup_link('<span class="meta-comments">0 comments</span>', '<span class="meta-comments">1 comment</span>', '<span class="meta-comments">% comments</span>');

		} // ! is_page()
		?>
		</div> <!-- [entrymeta1] -->

		<div class="entrybody">
			<?php the_content(__('Read more &raquo;'));?>
		</div> <!-- [entrybody] -->

		<?php if (is_single()) { ?>

		<div class="entrymeta2">
		<ul>
		<?php
		// *** Trackback URI: only if ping is enabled
		if ( pings_open() ) { ?>
			<li><a class="trackback-leftalign" title="Trackback-URL for '<?php the_title() ?>'" href="<?php trackback_url() ?>" rel="nofollow">Trackback-URL</a></li>
<?php   }
		?>

		<?php
		// *** RSS Comments: only if comments are enabled
		if ( comments_open() ) { ?>
			<li class="feed-leftalign"><span title="Subscribe to comments feed"><?php comments_rss_link('RSS feed for comments on this post') ?></span></li>
<?php	}
		?>

		<?php
		// *** Tags: only if there is any
		if ( (function_exists('UTW_ShowTagsForCurrentPost')) ) { ?>
		    <li class="utwtags"><span title="tags"><?php UTW_ShowTagsForCurrentPost("commalist") ?></span></li>
<?php   }
		?>
		</ul>

		</div> <!-- [entrymeta2] -->

		<?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?>

		<?php } // is_single() ?>

    <!--
	<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
	-->
  </div> <!-- [entry] -->

  <?php endwhile; else: ?>
  <p><?php _e('No Entries found.'); ?></p>
  <?php endif; ?>
  <p><?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('&laquo; Previous Page'), __('Next Page &raquo;')); ?></p>

</div> <!-- [contentwrap] -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Okay, the code to make it happen is in here cuz when deleted it did what I wanted, however it also took out the title of my blog post. I wanna keep the blog post title but kill the double title on the static pages like “About” and “Contact”. Thanks. E

<h3 <?php if (is_page()) echo 'style="margin-bottom: 20px;" ' ?>class="entrytitle" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a title="Article-Link (Permalink)" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a> <?php edit_post_link('<img class="editpost" alt="Edit" src="' . get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/images/edit.gif" />', '', ''); ?></h3>

Replace the line that starts

<h3 <?php if (is_page()) echo 's...

with

if (!is_page()) {
    <h3 <?php if (is_page()) echo 's...
}

This will only display the article header if it’s not a static page (i.e. it’s a blog post).

Dave, As alluded to I’m not any good at php. I see where you put the “if” in front of the h3 but where do you insert the “}” at the end?
I tried it after </h3> but it didn’t work that way. Thanks man.

That’s my fault as I ommitted the <?php tags from my original post. Here is the code you need in context.

<div class="entry">
    <?php if (!is_page()) { ?>
        <h3 <?php if (is_page()) echo 'style="margin-bottom: 20px;" ' ?>class="entrytitle" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a title="Article-Link (Permalink)" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a> <?php edit_post_link('<img class="editpost" alt="Edit" src="' . get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/images/edit.gif" />', '', ''); ?></h3>
    <?php } ?>
<div class="entrymeta1">

My mistake above, the theme code shown is what I’m using but is not from Thematic, sorry, I have too many WP’s under construction. So apologies to Ian at Thematic and many thanks to davesgonebananas.

Hello,

My website is https://www.seowhitehats.com. I have duplicate title tags on all of my pages. Can any give me a recommendation on how to resolve this issue. I am not sure where to locate the piece of code to remove this?

Thanks,

Anthony
