Help – Page Titles Display Twice!

I only have one plugin, which I disabled and that didn’t do anything, so I enabled it again

– To rule out any theme-specific issue, try switching to the unedited default theme for a moment using the WP dashboard. If you don’t have access to your admin area, you can switch to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using via FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides. Alternately, you can remove other themes except the default theme. That will force your site to use it.

ok, thanks. i switched to twenty twelve and it looks like the problem is still there but not as noticeable. on the contacts page, “contacts” comes up in the menu bar and in the top of the page itself. same with “sample page.” on the blog page, it doesn’t. i’ve looked and can’t see anything different about the pages. i am no expert however.

i guess it would be best if i could get the name or title of the page to just never appear at the top of the page. any idea how to do that?

You will probably need to start customising your theme’s CSS – possibly via a child theme or a custom CSS plugin.

thanks. that led me to search a little and this seemed to fix the problem.

i went to appearance > editor > content-page.php

and removed this

<h1 class=”entry-title”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

now there is only one title. i think i can probably mess around with this to change the appearance of the title and get rid of it entirely.
