• I have installed the Edin theme on a fresh site and no matter what I do the word ‘Home’ is shown on the static front page.

    Sadly the page is a local page so I cannot show a link to it

    I have tried:
    – Installing several plugins including “Hide Title” which have not worked
    – Creating a different page (resulted in the new page title appearing instead)
    – Changing to another page (resulted in the newly selected page title appearing instead)
    – changing the CSS script
    – Looking through this forum for someone else who has this issue

    Is the homepage set to use the Front Page template or is it using the default or another template? With the Front Page template applied, the title shouldn’t appear, so perhaps you’re using the default, in which case this custom CSS should do the trick:

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

    Don’t edit the theme files directly, otherwise your changes will be overwritten every time the theme is updated.

    An easy way to add custom CSS is to use the CSS editor included in the Customizer as of WordPress 4.7. Head to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS to add your custom CSS.

    If that doesn’t work, could you provide a screenshot so I can take a look?

    Here’s a guide on how to make a screenshot:

    You can upload the screenshot – in a graphic format like JPG, PNG, or GIF – in your Media Library, and provide a link so I can see it, or upload it with a service like Cloudup, Imgur or Snaggy.

    What about if I need to to do this to another page?

    I created a contact form page and the title name is embedded in the header page

    @sillyvainplex You could add the unique page ID to the CSS above. For example:

    .home .page-title, .page-id-124 .page-title {
         display: none;
    }

    You can get the unique page ID by viewing the page’s browser source, using a browser inspector, or looking at the URL while editing a page. You can add as many pages as you like, separated by commas as in the example above.

    If you’d simply like to hide all page titles, you can add this instead:

    .page-title {
      display: none;
    }
