   My blog is at No One's the Bitch.

   I'd like to remove page titles from all the pages and have tried a variety of fixes, but nothing's working.

   If I remove the following from my page.php file, I still see the titles:

   <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

   I followed the instructions from here, even though the code was slightly different from what I see in page.php.

   I replaced the code above with:

   <?php if ( is_front_page() ) { ?>
   	<h2 class="entry-title" style="display: none; height= 0px;"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
   <?php } else { ?>
   	<h1 class="entry-title" style="display: none; height= 0px;"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
   <?php } ?>

   ... and nada!

   Do I maybe need to edit other .php files?

   Please help! We have a big affiliate launch coming up tomorrow and this is driving me crazy.

   I recently added the Exclude Pages plugin to hide some new pages from the navigation menu. Works great, but wanting to hide page titles seems like such a common problem, I'm surprised it's this hard to do!

   Big thanks,
   Jennifer

   Removing page titles is really bad for usability and SEO. If you must hide them, do so using CSS.

   Thanks, Esmi!

   Yes, that's also what another person said, who provided the code that I tried to use above.

   I'm wondering if the reason NOTHING seems to be working is because I need to make changes on another php file as well. I barely understand any of this stuff. :-)

   Any other suggestions? Since the code on my page.php file wasn't exactly the same as the fix I posted above, maybe there's something I missed or got wrong?

   This is what's in my page.php file:
