I’ve come across a bunch of people looking to hide or remove page titles from specific pages in WordPress. All the posts and tutorials I’ve seen involve changing the code in page.php, which I don’t think is a very good idea because then you remove it on every page and you have no control over individual pages. There is a simple way to do it without changing the code and you will be able to control which pages you want to remove the title from being shown. Plus, its easy!

It’s Real Simple

To remove or hide WordPress page titles from showing above your content, you simply don’t give the page a title. When you remove or leave the title blank, it also removes it from your menus and from the browser tab, because your meta data is now blank too.

But what about my meta data?

To make sure it will still show in meta data and in your browser tab, all part of social media optimization (SMO), You will need a plugin that allows you to add SEO data.

I use a plugin called “All in One SEO” which allows me to insert a custom SEO title and description. I am still able to have my title in my meta data and I can still see what page is what in the backend (any pages that don’t have a title will be be called “(no title)“. In the page manager, you will be able to see their SEO description, so use that as a reference). If you have the page in any menus, make sure you go to your menus and make sure they didn’t change, if they did you’ll be able to manually enter the page title there.

See it’s that easy, no need to change page.php.
