Removing Page Titles | Pretty Pictures Theme

[khawaja1971Participant Post count: 3]

I would also like this to be resolved.  If I use the Genesis Title Toggle plugin I can remove the title from my home “page”.  But if I put the following code at the end of home.php in Balance theme it has no effect.

remove_action( ‘genesis_post_title’, ‘genesis_do_post_title’ );

From everything I read it really should work.  I`ve also tried the whole functions.php thing as well to no avail.  There is a whole bunch of white space I would really like to remove to make the home page a bit more voter / mobile friendly.

Is this resolved now?

Here’s a good tutorial on removing titles using conditional tags

More ignored rather than resolved.  I’ve put the code in various different places including functions.php and home.php without effect.

Hi, Brad.

I used the code for removing page titles… but now it’s removed the blog post titles on the blog page.

So frustrating!

Any ideas on what to do?

Remove this code from your child themes functions file if you are NOT using or planning on using post formats.

Backup the file first.

/** Add support for post formats */
add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array(
    'gallery',
    'quote'
) );

/** Remove elements for post formats */
add_action( 'genesis_before_post', 'pp_remove_elements' );
function pp_remove_elements() {

	// Remove if post has quote format
	if ( has_post_format( 'quote' ) ) {
		remove_action( 'genesis_before_post_content', 'genesis_post_info' );
		remove_action( 'genesis_post_title', 'genesis_do_post_title' );
		remove_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta' );
	}

	// Remove if post has gallery format
	elseif ( has_post_format( 'gallery' ) ) {
		add_action( 'genesis_post_title', 'genesis_do_post_title' );
		add_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta' );
	}

	// Add back, as post has no format
	else {
		add_action( 'genesis_before_post_content', 'genesis_post_info' );
		add_action( 'genesis_post_title', 'genesis_do_post_title' );
		add_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta' );
	}

}

Then add this code to the end of your child themes functions.php file.

This will remove the page titles from all single pages. You can change the conditional tag to remove titles from other pages, posts etc.

//remove page titles only sitewide
add_action('get_header', 'child_remove_page_titles');
function child_remove_page_titles() {
if ( is_page() ) {
remove_action('genesis_post_title', 'genesis_do_post_title');
}
}

Please let me know if this is what you wanted.

add_action('get_header', 'child_remove_page_titles');
function child_remove_page_titles() {
if ( !is_page()  || is_single() ) {
remove_action('genesis_post_title', 'genesis_do_post_title');
}
}

This code removes titles from all single posts but not single pages or archive pages like your blog page.

Thanks, Brad!

I don’t think I was clear…

I’m trying to remove the titles from the single pages, not single posts.

I still can’t get it to work.

Use the conditional tag for single pages and it will work as long as you remove the post formats code.

I’m such a coding rookie…

So I copy and paste the code you put (above my last reply), but I change the conditional tag to look like this:

add_action('get_header', 'child_remove_page_titles');
function child_remove_page_titles() {
if ( !is_page()  || is_single() ) {
remove_action('genesis_page_title', 'genesis_do_page_title');
}
}

Not sure of the conditional statements to use. The guys on the WordPress Codex aren’t either. Been a hard a few weeks mentally with all the coding. Hopefully i can work it out for you soon.

The function works so its just a matter of working out which tags to use in the function.

I think i have worked it out using CSS.

.page-template-default .entry-title {
       display:none;
}

The Toggle pluggin works great if you check on each page that you don’t want the title to show. Then the blog titles will still show. If you click the box inside the Genesis theme options to remove every header by default then it takes out the blog titles too

Hi Brad

I typed in your suggestion -into the functions.php at the end as suggested.

/**remove page titles only sitewide*/
add_action(‘get_header’, ‘child_remove_page_titles’);
function child_remove_page_titles() {
if ( is_page() ) {
remove_action(‘genesis_post_title’, ‘genesis_do_post_title’);
}

It works a treat! thanks – this was really bugging me.

No worries Karino.
