    hello,

    currently working on a new site, and wondered how i can remove the title (in this case " home") from this page?
    u use theme twenty eleven, and am using the sidebar template on this page (there are 3 more pages with the same problem)
    check this picture to see what i mean

    help would really be appreciated, thank you!

    Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues.

    Create a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

    A screenshot is of no use. What might help is a link to a page demonstrating the problem.

    Are you using the Twenty eleven or Twenty Ten themes? If so, you should not edit the theme but create a child theme for your customisations instead.

    Try creating a custom page template in your child theme that lacks the page title and apply it to your home page.

    If you want the title to be available for search engines, then you'd be better off using CSS to position the title off the page.

    If you are using a custom homepage, then change the title to something else or simply remove it from your page or post.. Otherwise, css would be the best choice unless you want to manually tweak the coding to remove the title from all pages.

    Unless we can see the site, we can't really help.

    Try editing your child theme's index.php template file.

    If you don't feel like editing any hardcoded files, you could display:none; the title specifically on that home page with CSS like this:

    body.home .entry-title { display: none; }

    Which will remove the title from displaying on the page which is displaying on home, then edit the page and add your own title to the top of that edited page that would replace it.

    You will notice in your <body class=""> body classes that are dynamically generated there is a 'home' class, meaning you can target specifically the home page which will not effect any subsequent pages other then that.

    body.home .entry-title {
    position:absolute;
    left:-9999px;
    top:-9999px; }

    will pull the title off the page on graphical browsers but keep it available for use by search engines and other user agents.
