Remove (not hide) Page Titles

  • Hi,
    I’m using the latest ver buddypress. I do not want any page titles to display – I do not want that huge gap of ‘white’ space at the top either – so if display is set to not display the white space will still eat up page space – in other words – my ‘default’ and ‘no sidebar(s) templates must never add code to display/hide a page title. It must be gone, really gone.
    I’m not a css or html ‘person’, but I am IT literate. So if someone could please step me through (and assume you are talking to a first grader…) I can find the files, copy/paste whatever, and then change/delete code where necessary. I do not want to lose my changes when upgrading buddypress.

    Thank you very much for your help.

    What theme are you using? Just to be clear, you’re talking about titles in BP template files, correct?

    Theme is: BuddyPress Default

    When clicking on a tab of the menu – (not blog posts) currently all pages display the page name – which makes it look unprofessional. The contents of the page clearly indicate what the page should be – no need for a display of the page name. How does one ‘hide’ this? If deleting it is too complex for me then I’ll settle for just hiding the name.

    Thank you for the response.

    == currently all pages display the page name ==

    Just so we’re on the same page, could you go to http://testbp.org/ and post URL’s of pages with titles you are referring to here?

    which makes it look unprofessional

    Really? considering BP is developed by professional web developers that’s a sightly surprising statement to be making.

    The titles you refer to on pages such as ‘Forums’, ‘Groups’, ‘Activity’ are heading tags, h# tags are a semantic tag that defines the document outline there are six levels and you use them to assign document section headings, these tags are mandatory and it’s very unprofessional not to have them so take care in removing them and also remember that search engines look for and use these tags for index information.

    If you are removing these tags then you need to locate these sorts of lines in your index files `

    ` and simply delete them, this is basic level stuff so as an IT literate person should be within your means as it’s simple editing of text files but it is going to help you enormously to learn some absolute basics where CSS and HTML are concerned.

    Lastly you are going to need to make these changes in a child theme otherwise whenever you upgrade your changes will be overwritten, a clear step by step guide to setting up a child theme can be found in the BP codex.
