No Title on Static Home Page

    I am trying to have this home page not display a title. If I do not include a title, it does not show up in my sitemaps, or on the page list, and it makes a funny little rollover in my widget sidebar. How do I make it so that the page has an actual title, but so that it does not display the title on the actual page?

    I want the page to have an actual title in the dashboard, but when displaying it on the web for viewers, I do not want the word Home there. Can you please help!

    Need more coffee…

    However, OP doesn’t read carefully: you stated clearly in your first reply:
    go to your page template file

    I now have a page.php, but the title is still showing up. I have figured out how to get rid of the sidebar problem (well when not using a widget sidebar). I need the title to not display on the left hand side.

    I have added:

    <?php if (!is_home()): ?>
     <div class="article_title"><?php the_title(); ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>

    To my page file. But I am still not getting the display that I want. Is this not the right code? and if not what exactly do I need to put?

    Did some research and got it on my own. The reason the is_home function does not work is beacuase it was depricated in wordpress v2.0. Instead you have to use this:

    <?php if (!(is_page('20'))): ?>
     <div class="article_title"><?php the_title(); ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>

    It looks great and works! I am closing this thread now!

    You can also use is_page(‘home’) if the slug name of your page is ‘home’.
