 * If you are using Chrome, right click on the text you want to hide and ‘Inspect
   element’. New box will open up on the side with the id and class of the text 
   you want to hide. For ex. #title-text.
 * You then open up your css file in cpanel via the code editor option and write
   this:
 * #title-text {
    display: none; }
 * That should hide it.

 * Best way is to use a plugin like Hide Title or one of the others like WP Hide
   Title. This adds a setting to the editor page when you have it open…usually the
   setting box is near the Featured Image box. IT lets you hide titles on pages 
   and posts individually….however, you can also do the display none method via 
   CSS as mentioned.
 * If you need to hide it only for a specific page, you will need to look at the
   source code for the page and get the body’s page ID or class and then do something
   like this example:
 *     ```
       .page-id-22 .entry-title {
       display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * But if you plan to do this for more than one page, then the plugin method might
   be the better solution.

 * If you modify anything directly with any theme file, then when an update for 
   the theme comes along, you will lose the changes made. For modifying CSS or creating
   new CSS, it’s best to do that from a plugin like Simple Custom CSS which keeps
   it separate from the theme (therefore allowing for theme updates).
 * If you modify other theme files, it’s best to use a [child theme](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   so that if there are updates to the theme, you won’t lose the modifications.
 * Regarding WordPress updates, you should be fine.

 * Good choice… the child theme method gives you more options if later you decide
   to modify other things in the theme. The sooner you create and activate a child
   theme before you do all your theme option settings, the better. When you activate
   a child theme, WordPress sees it as a new theme, so you would have to redo your
   option settings again.
 * Did you have any further questions relating to the hide title topic or is it 
   safe to set this one as “resolved”?

 * Resolved, for sure! Thnx a lot guys, i’m gonna start with the child theme before
   building.
