Unable to remove page title and menu button in WP

Hi, I'm new to this forum and I have to say it's seems very nice here

I'm about to launch my info business and am thus learning WP for the first time. I'm using a theme called Unite from themeforest. I would like to remove the title and the sub-title from the page that is automatically appearing when the site is loaded. I have tried to modify the .php by looking for

"<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>"

but it seems that the theme has done something weird because I can't find this code anywhere.

Then I tried adding a custom field by putting in hide_title, but nothing happened. What do you put in the name and what do you put in the value?

Any suggestions on what to do?

And one more thing. The theme by default is adding a button, the "home" button in the top menu and it doesn't allow me to remove or change it at all. Now this would be fine, but I'm not doing the website in english so I need to change the spelling...

All input is welcome.
Cheers

    Have your tried installing a plugin like All-in-One-SEO?
    It will allow you to change the title of your pages.

    Also, do a search through all your files in your template directory, searching for the word Home.. The change it to whatever language you want

    Hope this helps

      Probably something in the functions or other theme specific php file. Link to the page and maybe I can take a look.

        Thanks for the replies!

        I installed All in one SEO and it gives me the option to change the title. But for some weird reason the title will not change or disappear as I want. The "Home" title remains steady as a rock.

        Yeah, this is certainly the case. The site is not online yet, I'm tweaking it natively before I go live. But thanks!

        I think the easiest solution will be to switch the theme.
