Hey SSSLilla,
Is it just one page, or a specific template page that you would like to remove the titles from?
For just a single page, you would have to add some conditional code; if it’s a template page, you should be able to copy and paste the original template php file from the parent theme to your child theme and remove the title by just deleting it out (it would look something like:
<h1><?php the_title() ;?></h1>
Just one page. It’s going to be utilized as an “under construction” page, which I’ve created an image for. It’ll be the only page that I want to remove the page title. I did leave it blank, but I don’t like the space.
Are you using a child theme?
If it’s just going to be temporary, you could just add css to the image to bump it up. (<img src="thisfolder/image.jpg" style="margin-top: -1em;"/>)
Ideally (or what I would do, anyway) is just create a new template file that removes the title (if the “under construction” page is going to be up for a while, or if you’ll have other pages that you’d like the title removed from).
In answer to your question: Yes, I’m using a child theme. I’ve managed to accomplish a lot by just following instructions in FAQ and documentation on the developer’s website.
That’s a good idea. Certain aspects of the website are going to be “under construction” until I figure out how to do it. So creating it as a template is a much better idea than what I’m currently doing.
Can you direct me to a link that outlines how to create a new template file?
@ssslilla – you should be able to hide the title on a page using page-specific CSS – what’s the page you want to hide it on?
Here’s info on custom templates if you want to go that route:

@wpyogi
Thanks for the link to page templates. I’d like to hear about page-specific CSS, if you don’t mind.
I don’t know how to write page-specific CSS code. Could you give me an idea of what that looks like? Would that go in the custom CSS box?
Are you meaning the name of the page that I want to hide it on? The name in the permalink is /under-construction/
IF the site you’re asking about is the one linked in your profile, then look at the body tag HTML –
<body class="page page-id-146 page-template-default" itemtype="http://schema.org/WebPage" itemscope="">
So you can use that page-specific class in CSS – try adding this to your child theme CSS:
.page-id-146 h1.entry-title {
display: none;
}
That worked. Thanks. Also, thanks for the tip about microdata. Very clever.
@somewhatrounded Thanks for the advice on page templates. I’m also going to explore what new possibilities can arise from this.
I appreciate your time and energy. Best regards.
