How to Remove Faded Text Under Pages

Dear Simdor,

Although I am not sure why you would want to do this, as it is recommended to show visitors what page they are visiting in terms of usability, you can do it as follows:

If you are logged in to the Admin Panel and go to Appearance -> Editor and select style.css there is the following piece of code:

h1 {
	color: silver;
	font-size: 42px;
	font-size: 4.2rem;
	font-weight: 300;
	line-height: 1.25;

If you change it so that ‘display: none;’ is added, it will be invisible. So like this:

h1 {
	color: silver;
	font-size: 42px;
	font-size: 4.2rem;
	font-weight: 300;
	line-height: 1.25;
	display: none;

Please note that in this case the H1-tag / Title tag is hidden but is actually still there. As this is recommended for SEO purposes I am sure you want to keep it there.

Would you please share with us why you want to do this, because I am curious about that?

Furthermore, if this helped you fix your problem please mark this topic as resolved.

Kind regards,

Hi CS_WordPress!

Thank you, it worked perfectly.

The reason is simple, I want a clean website and if you click “Contact” there should be no text confirming you just clicked on the “Contact”-page.

Let me ask you, why is it odd that I would like to remove this text? I have already removed the “leave a reply”-section and the “proudly powered by wordpress” on the bottom of the page.

Since I don’t know how to use Dreamweaver, or any type of coding. I decided to simply google: “remove proudly powered by wordpress” and tons of results came back. Though, I couldn’t find this, whatever it would be called: “remove silver text under pages”?

Thank you mate!

Dear Simdor,

First of all I am glad I could help! I also want to explain a bit more why I thought it was strange to want to hide this title.

The reason being is that it is common practice to show the title again to reconfirm the visitor that he/she visited the right page. The title helps people to quickly find out what the page is about.

If you consider that visitors might reach your website through a direct link (and not through your homepage) they might not immediately know what the page is about.
Let’s say someone sends me an URL to look at that goes directly to your contact page.
The URL for the contact page on your website is: https://www.rclifeon.se/sample-page/

So how can I know what content to expect? The URL says sample-page so I am unsure about the fact that it is a page to contact you. So only the form you have on that page makes that clear to me. But let’s say you add some more text and the form moves down on the page – then it becomes unclear to me what page I reached.

However, if you keep the title ‘Contact’ then I would immediately know what the page is about. Please also check this page about Headings which might prove helpful.

Hope my explanation helps a bit and provides you with some more background.
Again there is nothing wrong with doing it your way, I am just trying to help and explain why many people choose to display it (and why it is there by default in the majority of theme’s and CMS’s).

Kind regards,
