Hi Esmi. Thanks for the link and quickness. I’m new at WP, so I’m having some trouble getting the configurations to work. Do you have a moment to check my work? Here’s what I did…

I created a new file: “footer-home.php” (duplicated from “footer.php”), and added in the desired change. I uploaded it to my (child’s) theme.

In the template’s “page.php” file I replaced this code:
<?php get_footer(); ?>

with this code:

<?php
if ( is_home() ) :
  get_footer('home');
elseif ( is_404() ) :
  get_footer('404');
else :
  get_footer();
endif;
?>

The non-home pages are showing the footer.php stuff, but the Home page is also viewing the footer.php stuff as well. (No difference.)
I tried the above code in the home.php file as well, but that didn’t work either.
Was I supposed to do something else (like in the functions.php file?)

Thank you for your time (and patience).

Thank you!

Well, kwight, I’ve replaced

<h1 class="entry-title">
  <?php the_title(); ?>
</h1>

with

<h1 class="entry-title">
  <?php if ( ! is_front_page() ) { the_title(); } ?>
</h1>

within the loop-single.php (in the theme’s folder) and got no change.

At least, for now, I’m able to hide it using a CSS style.

I too would like to get my custom field to work. This way I won’t have to keep making special CSS styles for pages I wish to hide the title on.

In Custom Fields section of my Home page screen I’ve placed “hide_title” (with and without quotes) in Name, and “true” (with and without quotes in Value. Still, nothing happens. Am I supposed to place some sort of function tag or something in one of the php pages? Obviously, I’ve very new to WP and I could use some hand-holding right now.

Thank you!

In the (closed) post: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/hide-homepage-title?replies=6 gabesands says to find
<?php the_title(); ?>
and then to add some tags which I believe is now supposed to look this:

<?php if ( is_front_page() ) { ?><?php } else { ?>
			<?php the_title(); ?>
		<?php } ?>

This didn’t work for me. But maybe I’m in the wrong file of the theme? The only place I could find “the_title” code was within loop-single.php. It wasn’t in index.php, page.php or home.php.

Any ideas on this, or how to remove the Title from the Home page?

I have a menu on the top of my home page (just under the Header) and I’d like to add another menu just below it. I do have the “Second Menu” option within Appearance>Menus>Theme Location. So, I’m wondering how to insert it. (Obviously, I’m new to WP.)

Thank you,

Alchymyth,
I’m also a neophyte when it comes to WP. I’m having the on-off text in header problem as Rusty. I’m using a theme called Notes Blog that has this added script in the theme’s functions.php file:

// The site header
define('HEADER_TEXTCOLOR', '00FF00');
define('HEADER_IMAGE', get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') . '/img/header-default.gif');
define('HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH', 960);
define('HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT', 116);

// The site header function
function site_header_style() { ?>
        <style type="text/css">
                        		div#header {
                        background: url(<?php header_image(); ?>);
                }

        </style><?php
}
// The admin header function
function admin_header_style() { ?>
    <style type="text/css">
        #headimg {
            width: <?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH; ?>px;
            height: <?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT; ?>px;
        }
    </style><?php
}
// Enable!
add_custom_image_header('site_header_style', 'admin_header_style');

From this, can you see how I can make the on-off option work?
Thanks much!
