Getting rid of the page name

    I have a theme which displays the nav bar at the top, indicating which page the user is on, but the theme also puts the name of the page above the content for each page. It looks stupid, since the name of the page is duplicated above and below in different sized texts, i.e.;

    home events about contact [navbar]

    HOME [inserted page name]

    Is there any way to globally get rid of the inserted page name? If I need to edit the theme files, what should I be looking for?

    You would need to edit your theme’s template files. But you should be aware that removing the page heading/title could adversely affect your site’s SEO.

    Okay. I’m fine with losing a bit of the SEO juice, since I don’t think “home” adds that much 🙂 but what does the page heading code look like? any ideas which file it is generally located in?

    Are you using a static front page? If so, the relevant template may be page.php and the code should look something like <h2 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>.

    thanks. I’ve checked the page.php file and all around and can’t seem to find any of the kind of code you suggest. I’m working with a pretty dense theme that is just way above my head – I know some HTML and can fuddle around sometimes with css/php but when it gets deep, I get lost. I think it’s probably best I just live with it for the moment or get a different theme.

    Thanks for your help though – really appreciate it!

    What Theme are you using?

    It’s a theme called Berita from http://bizzthemes.com/themes/. I’m using the free, hobbled version which allows for limited customization. But I think I’m just running in to too many problems with it, and I’m going to dump it.

    Ive now switched to the Swift theme, and I really like it. Still have the same problem, but at least I feel like the developer is responsive, there’s a strong community for it, and it’s a very flexible theme.
