Page Title repeated

  • Hi,
    I am using the 2014 theme. I have a problem with the page titles which are displayed in both the menu and on the page itself. So the menu button will say, for example, Home and then the page itself has a heading “HOME”. How can I get rid of the excess title on the page itself.
    I looked around, but con’t find somewhere it turn it off or delete. I tried taking out the page title, which just gives me a menu item hat says: “untitled”. I tried deleting the slug, but it just reasserts itself.
    Any ideas?

    Thank you,
    Marius Strydom

  • You could hide this by css (display:none) or you can remove this by editing the theme:
    Open content-page.php
    remove line 15:

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

    The Page title should now be removed on all pages.

    This solution is not update-save. To be update-save you should use a child-theme:

    Good Question, Magick

    The theme author likely would say the page title is not excess. Also it provides a mechanism where you can have a long title on the page and then something shorter like “home” in the menu.

    If you really want it gone, make a child theme: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes

    And put in the style.css this code:

    .page h1.entry-title {display:none;}

    Or maybe better:

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