Book Page – Center Book Title?

You need to add a little custom CSS to your site.

Go under Appearance > Customize to load the customizer. Then click on “Additional CSS” in the menu down the left hand side.

Enter some custom CSS to centre the titles. You could try this:

.books-template-default .entry-title {
text-align: center !important;
}

I notice on your page your main book description text isn’t aligned with the book cover image, which is going to become more obvious if you center the title. If you edit the book details and flip over to “text” mode for the main details page, you will likely see an empty paragraph tag set at the very top of your description – just remove it and Update to fix the alignment issue.

so – even if I take care of the alignment issue (which was on purpose), it doesn’t look good regardless. So – is there any way to just remove the Title from that page?

There is a way to hide the title in the pages genesis settings.

I would not recommend blocking or removing the title as it’s an important factor for the site SEO. Google will look for the title and also a traditional content structure of an <h1> style title at the top followed by information in paragraphs.

If you really want to remove the title you could insert it manually as an <h1> at the top of your book description.

Since this page is auto-generated you will not be able to use the checkbox shown above to hide the title. You would have to block it either with a custom change to the plugin code or via CSS. CSS is easier and will last between plugin updates even though it’s not quite as clean of a solution.

To block it, you can go under Appearance > Customize to load the customizer, then click on “Additional CSS” and add:

.books-template-default .entry-title {
display: none;
}

But please do not do this lightly as it really will impact the searchability of your site and your overall SEO at Google.
