[SOLVED] Removing titles on single pages

artaud · #1 Apr 12, 2011, 06:15 PM

I would like to have no title on my "Home" page (and possibly not on certain others in the future). How do I go about doing this? I have read the now closed thread "How to get rid of page titles" (http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=3960), specifically post #4, but this would seem to remove all page titles. I want to be selective. Any help would be much appreciated!

You first have to determine the selector for the home page. The way I do that is to view the page source and search for "body class". You will find something like

HTML Code:

<body class="home blog logged-in"> OR <body class="page page-id-8 logged-in">

So you would use a selector of

HTML Code:

body.home OR body.page-id-8

and add the selector for the title (I use Firebug with Firefox to determine that) and your full CSS to hide the title would be

HTML Code:

body.home .post-headline {
display: none;
}

OR

HTML Code:

body.page-id-8 .post-headline {
display: none;
}

All you would do to hide the title is put the CSS in ATO>Add HTML/CSS Inserts>CSS Inserts. You of course may have a different page id.

Thanks

But I just tried copying the html you suggested into ATO>Add HTML/CSS Inserts>CSS Inserts with the correct page ID, and all that happened was that the code I entered appeared at the top of my page above the header..!

Given the number of threads I've read about this issue (although mostly regarding older versions of the theme, so no use to me), I am surprised that the developers haven't included an easier means of toggling titles on specific pages.

If you read Larry's post again, no where does he say to put the HTML in CSS Inserts. He says to put the CSS there.

I realise that, but he did not specify where exactly to put it. I can't edit the page source directly (at least I don't think so...), but would have to edit one of the files in the "Editor", but which one? "bfa_body_class.php"? "bfa_body_classes.php"? I have read on other threads that it is preferable to use HTML/CSS inserts to make changes (rather than directly editing the CSS), so that they will be carried over in theme updates...

I am rather new to CSS editing, but am trying to do the best I can

CSS goes in 'ATO>Add HTML/CSS Inserts>CSS Inserts'
