Genesis Title Toggle

Description

This plugin ONLY works with the Genesis theme. Do not install if you are not using Genesis.

This plugin lets you easily remove the page title from specific pages. Don’t want “Home” at the top of your homepage? Activate, then edit the homepage and check “Hide”.

You can also set sitewide defaults. If you don’t want page titles on any pages, go to Appearance > Customize > Theme Settings > Title Toggle and check the appropriate box. Once a post type has the default set to remove, when editing a page you can selectively turn on that page’s title.

See the wiki for information on extending the plugin:
Use on Posts or Custom Post Types
Integrate with Custom Theme

I run Cobalt's Dynamik-Gen theme on over a dozen websites and had been using Dynamik's "Remove All Page Titles" setting. Not sure why Dynamik was randomly showing the title on some pages. To remedy, all I had to do was open the page in Classic Editor and save it. The title would then disappear. But I got tired of doing that for dozens of pages. With WordPress 6.x, Genesis Title Toggle is now working more reliably. I turned off Dynamik's "Remove All Page Titles" option. Hopefully, Erickson's "Genesis Title Toggle" will keep working, despite it not having been updated in the last three major releases of WordPress. I'll report back if it doesn't!

I'm using Gutenberg. I see the HIDE TITLE checkbox on Pages, but not on Posts. Is there any way to use this plugin for Pages, Posts and Portfolio Items?

Works like a charm. There are global settings AND individual page settings. I'm using Genesis with Beaver Builder and it worked well.

The front page should explain that you cannot activate the plugin unless Genesis is installed. I am guessing Genesis is a template. The link to take you to Genesis is broken.
