   Hi,

   I'm making a website using wordpress , without the BLOG and using the PAGES only. (Mandigo theme website btw)

   I do not want to display the page title because they're esthetically irrelevant. (I basically want to edit the pages as if they were blank canvases..)

   I looked at different topics and tried a few but it wont work...
   I tried to edit the template page but not sure how to proceed, especially with mandigo theme.

   Thanks for help!

   You can look for this in the themes index.php file, <?php the_title(); ?> and delete but that will just take care of the main blog. Title would still show up in categories, etc. Maybe you can use that all the way thru but I think it may mess up permalinks.

   Thx! What should i do with : <?php the_title(); ?>
   remove it / edit it? i dont know much how to program php.

   also i think i still can edit the permalinks manually, i set it custom %slug% to use the slug name for SEO friendly URLs.

   do you think it'd mess the permalinks?

   thanks, it worked, and the permalinks seem unaffected!

   How can you remove just some titles. Replace them with graphics on some pages and have the standard title on others?

   i guess you can follow the guidance up there and simply add an image as the title!

    It is not generally a good idea to delete the code. It is better to comment it out (hide it) just in case you change your mind at a later date, or it mucks up your site. To do hide the title from appearing you simply change the following code in the page.php file in your theme:

    <?php the_title(); ?>

    to

    <!--?php the_title(); ?-->

    To see which WordPress theme file to edit and how to do this, there is a great video tutorial at:

    Another method is to comment out the php function call itself:
    

    <?php // the_title(); ?>

    ... rather than wrapping the code in HTML comment tags.

    Thanks for posting this, and having such easy to understand directions on how to do this. I did it to all my sites and they look so much better.

    I used the <?php // the_title(); ?>
