 * Hello
 * not sure if I should post this in the ‘beyond codex’ forum but here’s what I’d
   like to do…
 * Somehow I want to find out the the h1 entry-title for the content of the front
   page.
 * I want it so that if a person selects a static specific front page in the customise
   bit of WP that I can take the ‘post-title’ of that page and echo it as a variable
   somewhere else.
 * Thanks in advance for any sugestions
    will post in beyond codex forum too 🙂

 * So you want to hide a title on a specific page?

 * No what I have and want to do is as follows:
 * My static front page has a nice big header, then a posts section where it shows
   the latest post nice and large across, then below that are small exerpts in columns
   from the 3 previous posts before that. Then further down the page is the content
   from the actual page (front-page.php) I posted in the admin bit of wp which says‘
   About’ then a few paragraphs.
 * I want to find out what the post title is whether it be ‘About’ or anything else
   and then echo that in a`<a>` tag (just above that section) and also echo it in
   the navigation menu, so in the menu bar at top of each page I will have a link
   to the ‘About’ bit on the front page.
 * Hope that makes sense, I’m working on it locally right now, so haven’t got a 
   link to send
 * any ideas much appreciated
    thanks in advance

 * You can do things like getting the post title and comparing it to see if it’s“
   about” for example, or maybe you’d want to get the post ID instead.
    E.g.:
 *     ```
       if (get_the_ID() == 30) {
           // Do your stuff
       }
       ```

 * Thanks but I want to set it up as a theme people can download and use without
   having to do any techy stuff.
 * That’s why I was hoping to get it from it being static front page
 * Don’t know if that’s possible? 😉
