We’ll also explore the effect hiding page titles<\/a> can have on your site’s SEO, so you can decide for yourself whether this is a good idea in your case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Let’s go through three good options that will allow you to hide page titles and post titles in WordPress. Before you try any of these, we recommend you back up your site<\/a>. Some of these methods involve editing theme files, so you’ll want to ensure that you can revert to a previous version of them in case you encounter issues during the process. Don’t worry, though; if you follow these simple instructions carefully, you should be fine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the easiest ways to hide a title for a post or page is to do so manually by using the Theme Customizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please note that if you are using a newer block theme with FSE (full site editing)<\/a> capability, then you will not have access to the classic Theme Customizer. Don’t panic though, the next method will show you exactly what you need to do to hide page title in WordPress if you’re using a block theme<\/a> with FSE. If you’re using a classic theme and this doesn’t apply to you, then let’s continue with the Theme Customizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can get to it by going to your WordPress dashboard and then hovering over Appearance > Customize<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, scroll down until you see a section called Additional CSS<\/em><\/strong>. This box allows you to add your own custom CSS code to change the appearance of your website – and can be used to hide page titles in WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you’re here, paste the following CSS code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly, press Publish<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n So, what does this little snippet do? It’s pretty simple. The first line refers to the element you’re targeting with your CSS code. In this case, it’s the entry title for a page. The second line tells the system to hide it. However, there’s something you should know if you’re editing a blog post title or page title this way – you’re not actually deleting them. You’re just choosing not to show them to your site’s visitors. We’ll go into more detail on this in the following sections. For now, let’s just say that there is a difference between deleting<\/em> titles and hiding<\/em> them, and this difference is crucial for your SEO strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If adding this CSS code doesn’t do anything, this could mean you’re on a WordPress theme that uses a different name for your titles. You’ll need to see what these are (you can use your browser’s Inspect element<\/a><\/strong><\/em> functionality to do this). Then, just replace .entry-title<\/em><\/strong> with the correct title tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How to page inspect elements in Chrome<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pay special attention to what elements you are targeting when you hide titles. If you use a global class, for example, you will hide page title in WordPress for all instances (or all pages).
