Skip over page title on homepage – PHP question

    Hello,
    I need to remove the page title from my homepage. The code I used is suppose to jump over the IF statement that renders the title. It is not working.

    Here is what I did:

    <div class="entry-header">
	<?php
	if (! is_home()) { 
		if (! is_single()) :
		the_title( '<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="' . esc_url( get_permalink() ) . '">', '</a></h2>' );
					
		else: 
		the_title( '<h2 class="entry-title">', '</h2>' );
					
		endif; }
	?>
</div>

    (This is a change to the Writtee theme but since it is a coding question I put it here. Hope it’s OK, I’m new here and don’t know my way around yet.)

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Your currently used theme is not in the www.ads-software.com/themes/ directory:

    – If this was a custom theme, you may have to go back to your developer team and ask them to make the necessary change(s) to the theme.

    Something like this:

    if ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) {
    don't display_title();
    }
    else {
    the_title( '<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="' . esc_url( get_permalink() ) . '">', '</a></h2>' );
    }

    Sorry t-p, I misspelled it. It came from, https://www.ads-software.com/themes/search/writee/

    Steve, what I’m trying to do is ignore the second IF statement all together. What I want the PHP to say is:

    “If this is not the home page go in and set the title.”

    The silly thing is I did have it working. Then I changed it and went to bed. Unfortunately, I forgot how it looked when I got back to it.

    if ( ! ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) ) {
    the_title( '<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="' . esc_url( get_permalink() ) . '">', '</a></h2>' );
    }
    else {
       do_nothing_here();
    }

    Thank you Steve, it works perfectly.

    Question, would both of these statements…

    if ( ! ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) ) {
    and
    if ( !is_home() || !is_front_page() ) {

    …be the same?

    No. Check your college logic textbook

    NOT (A or B) == (NOT A) and (NOT B)

    Ummm…
    I don’t think I have a college logic textbook.

    Guess I didn’t go to the same college as you.

    Thanks!

    I still have nightmares about my sophomore year symbolic logic final.
