How stop repeat of menu in page content, update-proof?

  • Hi all,

    not entirely sure if this is the right forum, mods please move if appropriate.

    I thought I had solved this issue, but unfortunately after the recent wordpress update, it is back, so I’m almost back to square one with this.

    You can currently see the page I’m building at this address:

    https://riverbendventuresglobal.megabyet.net/mainpage

    Question:

    At the top of each page’s text, there is what seems to be a repeat of the current location in the menu. For example, if you click on “Who we are” in the menu, the according page loads, but the words “Who we are” are then repeated at the top of the text of that page again. As the menu indicates the current location already, that is redundant and untidy; I want it gone, but don’t know how / where in the code.

    (I had previously gotten the advice to delete <h1 class=”entry-title”> … </h1> in page.php, which worked just fine; but after the update now, that is undone, and also I can not seem to find this part of the code in the page.php of the new, updated version anymore either for whatever reason to re-do it.)

    From my half-understanding of wordpress, I’ll probably have to create a child-page.php or something like that, and alter it to achieve the desired change in a way that will survive future updates?

    Any help very much appreciated!

    THANKS

    Matt

  • I’ve seen this with other sites and perhaps it is your method of creating pages … are you including the title of the page in the body/content of the post and also writing the title of the page in the ‘Title’ box?

    If not, then you should consider as you thought a Child-Theme which is generally very easy to make.

    These pages should get you started:

    No, what I actually want to do is NOT have the title (as per the database) displayed in the page itself, but add a bold line in the text of the page with a slightly different “title” which will then be perceived as the page title by the viewer.

    To be honest, so far my skills with child themes only go as far as the CSS is concerned, which I’m quite happy with mostly, but seemingly that isn’t enough to switch off the repeat of the page title within the text of the page.
