Hi
I have been trying to find a way to hide the page title on a couple of my sites pages, purely for aesthetic reasons, i.e. the "Welcome" page title on the right hand side of the below page.
WELCOME | masonconcretegroup.com.au
Can anyone recommend a simple way of doing this, but I do not want it to happen across all pages.
If you could please recommend the code and which file to add it to, I would be very much appreciate it.
I'm fairly new to coding so please explain in laymans terms :confused:

Thanks
Joner

    It looks like you are using WordPress. If you use the plugin WordPress SEO by Yoast, when you go in and edit a page you can manually change the title for each page with that plugin.

      Thanks for quick response Jason. I have installed SEO by Yoast, but cannot see where I would be able to remove the page title. Under the General settings there is only "Focus Keyword, SEO Title and Meta Decription", so I am unsure how you mean I would be able to remove the page title using SEO by Yoast.

      Cheers

    Joner, using the plugin you need to go and edit the page or post and you'll be given a box with SEO by Yoast that will let you re-title the page, which is the best option.

      Hi
      Thanks for answers, but not sure if I am missing something.
      The only three text editable fields I have in SEO by Yoast are Focus Keyword, SEO Title, and Meta Description. I have tried setting the SEO Title as a different word to test but this makes no difference to what I see on the page, that is still what is set in the standard wordpress page title. I cannot just remove the wordpress page title as this also removes the navigation tab for that page on the sites home page.
      Another option I was thinking was just to make the page title white on the white background so it is not visable, but I do not know what code I would need to add and to which file, i.e. <page-idxx title color="#ffffff">

      Regards
      Joner

    It is simple: you create a second Page template (details, as always, in the online documentation: Pages « WordPress Codex) AND delete/comment out the template tag displaying the title - <?php the_title();?>.

    Then create/edit the Page and assign the new template to it.

    Everything above is (not-so-educated) guessing
