no problemo …

go into text of your page element and add whatever heading you prefer over the page name. you would place it on first line. the issue is not to use page name for the title, correct? this will get it done.

<h1>This is my page</h1>

NOTE: do this while in HTML edit mode.

this had been explained previously..

BTW .. this thread title is how to hide page title

it should be how to remove page name from title and use preferred custom title

if you are that concerned about it..

edit your page, go into HTML mode and put in your own title, but this time it can be anything that you want.

<h1>My Page Heading</h1> or choose not to have a page title. no need to edit your PHP code anyplace in your theme

NOTE: I like to use H2 tag instead of H1

That is why you want to remove default page title in first place, correct?

what better solution can there be??? LOL

open up page source in your web browser. Look for something like this:

<article id="post-2" class="post-2 page type-page status-publish hentry">

This is entry into CSS Override Editor to effect current page title ONLY

.post-2 .entry-title
{
    display: none;
}

in my admin panel… Blog Title designates the title, and tagline is used for the description.

look for <div id = “logo” in the header.php file. That block of code identifies that the title and description is to be displayed in your header area.

this allows you to utilize the wordpress admin control panel to edit/update this info.

also, take a look at your style.css file to find the #header #logo code block. this will give you specific info as to how title and description is to be displayed

HINT: make one change at a time.. also, when altering PHP code, comment out the code that you want to change in order to save, then enter altered code. you can always go back if you do not like your results.

I choose to remove page name from all pages… then I can choose exact text and formatting as I prefer. I look for the following code in the page.php file and simply comment it out.

<!– Commented out
<h2 class=”topTitle”>”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
–>

I hope that this helps.

I am utilizing Yahoo! Webhosting… after lengthy search on Yahoo! technical side, it was determined that problem was in the fact that I could not access mail processes on the mail server.. my webspace is on separate server from mail processes.

I do not see the logic in that response. WordPress is acting like email client when it is trying to hit the pop3 server for mail. what am I missing here???? anyone else have experience with this problem while using Yahoo! Webhosting?
