How to Remove Page Title in WordPress

This guide demonstrates two methods to disable the title on a specific WordPress page. To be precise, you will learn how to execute this task by adding a CSS code to the WordPress theme via the theme customizer.

I will also teach you how to remove the title from a specific WordPress page with the aid of a plugin. Aside from that, this guide illustrates how to hide the title on all pages in a WordPress site.

Lastly, I will include an FAQ section in this guide. That section is where I will provide answers to some of the questions people mostly ask relating to this guide’s topic.

How to Hide Title in a Specific Page in WordPress

There are two major ways you can disable the title of a specific WordPress page. You can either remove the title through the WordPress theme customizer or by using a plugin.

Well, the following sub-sections will demonstrate how to hide the title of a particular WordPress page using both methods.

Remove Title in a Specific WordPress Page Via Theme Customizer

By adding a simple CSS code to your WordPress theme, you can easily remove the title of a specific WordPress page. However, you will need the page’s ID for the code to work.

Thus, go through our How to Find Page ID in WordPress article to learn how to get a page’s ID in WordPress. Then, follow the steps below to hide the title of a specific WordPress page through the theme customizer.

1. Sign in as an administrator to the backend dashboard of your WordPress site. Then, place your mouse cursor on Appearance and select Customize from the available options.

2. On the Customize page, select Additional CSS among the options on the left pane.

3. Now, input the following code in the Additional CSS input field. However, replace “100” in the code with the ID number of the page you wish to hide its title.

.page-id-100 .entry-title {
display: none;
}

For instance, if the ID number of the page I wish to hide its title is “5”, below is what the command should look like.

.page-id-5 .entry-title {
display: none;
}

4. Finally, click the blue Publish button at the top of the Customize page to save the change.

Hide Title in a Specific WordPress Page Using a Plugin

Another way to hide the title of a specific WordPress page is by using a plugin. Although there are various WordPress plugins that can do that, I recommend the Hide Page And Post Title plugin.

This free plugin allows users to hide the title of any page and post without the need for a code. So, the first sub-section below will show you how to install and activate this plugin in WordPress.

Meanwhile, the second sub-section will demonstrate how to use the plugin to hide the title of a particular WordPress page.

How to Install and Activate Hide Page and Post Title Plugin in WordPress

1. First, log into the backend of your WordPress site as an administrator. Following that, place your mouse pointer on Plugins on the backend’s left pane, then select Add New.

2. Afterward, search for “Hide Page And Post Title” on the Add Plugins page.

3. Following that, click the Install Now button on the Hide Page And Post Title plugin from the search result.

4. After installing the plugin, enable the plugin on your WordPress site by clicking the blue Activate button.

How to Remove Title in a Specific WordPress Page Using Hide Page and Post Title Plugin

1. After activating the plugin, make sure you’re still signed into the WordPress backend as an admin. Then, click Pages among the menus on the backend’s left pane.

2. Now, open the page you wish to disable its title by selecting its title. For this demonstration, I will open a page titled “Sample page”.

3. When the page opens, click the Settings button at the top right corner of the page. Then, select the Page tab.

4. In the Page tab, check the Hide the title checkbox in the Hide Page and Post Title category.

Without installing and activating the Hide Page and Post Title plugin, you won’t find the Hide Page and Post Title category.

5. After doing all that, update the page by clicking the blue Update button at the top right corner. Hence, whenever the page is viewed on your site’s front end, the title should be excluded – see the second screenshot below.

How to Remove Title on All Pages in WordPress

Interestingly, you can also hide the title on every page of your WordPress website by adding a custom CSS code to your theme. To do that, follow the procedures listed below.

1. Sign in to the backend dashboard of your WordPress site as an administrator. Next, place your mouse pointer on Appearance on the dashboard’s life pane, then select Customize from the available options.

2. Now, click Additional CSS on the left pane of the Customize page.

3. Following that, input the code below in the Additional CSS input field.

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

4. Finally, click the Publish button at the top of the Customize page to save the input. Thus, the title on every page of your WordPress site should be removed.
