remove redundant page title in Thematic

I have the same problem and would appreciate any help. Thanks!

the title is done by a function, of which you can find the code in /thematic/extensions/content-extensions.php, somewhere in the middle:

// Information in Post Header
function thematic_postheader() {
    global $id, $post, $authordata;

// @sonofido: //
// put the next line in  if you don't want a title on page //
if(is_page()) { return; }
//that should leave any content on a page without title //
// untested  //

    // Create $posteditlink
    $posteditlink .= '<a href="' . get_bloginfo('wpurl') . '/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=' . $id;
    $posteditlink .= '" title="' . __('Edit post', 'thematic') .'">';
    $posteditlink .= __('Edit', 'thematic') . '</a>';
    $posteditlink = apply_filters('thematic_postheader_posteditlink',$posteditlink); 

    if (is_single() || is_page()) {
        $posttitle = '<h1 class="entry-title">' . get_the_title() . "</h1>\n";
    } elseif (is_404()) {
        $posttitle = '<h1 class="entry-title">' . __('Not Found', 'thematic') . "</h1>\n";
    } else {
        $posttitle = '<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="';
        $posttitle .= get_permalink();
        $posttitle .= '" title="';
        $posttitle .= __('Permalink to ', 'thematic') . the_title_attribute('echo=0');
        $posttitle .= '" rel="bookmark">';
        $posttitle .= get_the_title();
        $posttitle .= "</a></h2>\n";
    }
    $posttitle = apply_filters('thematic_postheader_posttitle',$posttitle); 

    $postmeta = '<div class="entry-meta">';
    $postmeta .= '<span class="meta-prep meta-prep-author">' . __('By ', 'thematic') . '</span>';
    $postmeta .= '<span class="author vcard">'. '<a class="url fn n" href="';
    $postmeta .= get_author_link(false, $authordata->ID, $authordata->user_nicename);
    $postmeta .= '" title="' . __('View all posts by ', 'thematic') . get_the_author() . '">';
    $postmeta .= get_the_author();
    $postmeta .= '</a></span><span class="meta-sep meta-sep-entry-date"> | </span>';
    $postmeta .= '<span class="meta-prep meta-prep-entry-date">' . __('Published: ', 'thematic') . '</span>';
    $postmeta .= '<span class="entry-date"><abbr class="published" title="';
    $postmeta .= get_the_time(thematic_time_title()) . '">';
    $postmeta .= get_the_time(thematic_time_display());
    $postmeta .= '</abbr></span>';
    // Display edit link
    if (current_user_can('edit_posts')) {
        $postmeta .= ' <span class="meta-sep meta-sep-edit">|</span> ' . '<span class="edit">' . $posteditlink . '</span>';
    }
    $postmeta .= "</div><!-- .entry-meta -->\n";
    $postmeta = apply_filters('thematic_postheader_postmeta',$postmeta); 

    if ($post->post_type == 'page' || is_404()) {
        $postheader = $posttitle;
    } else {
        $postheader = $posttitle . $postmeta;
    }

    echo apply_filters( 'thematic_postheader', $postheader ); // Filter to override default post header
} // end thematic_postheader

Thanks so much! I’ll try this out and let you know how it goes.

This worked perfectly!!
Only difference was that the file you mention is in this directory – thematic/library/extensions/content-extensions

Thank you very much. FYI, the site I’m working on is at https://pradipmalde.com/blog
It is still in development but expect it to be ready on Dec. 1, 2009, at pradipmalde.com

I think the proper way would be to take the page.php file and put it in your theme directory. Then just comment out thematic_postheader() and thematic will automatically look in your theme directory for page.php before it uses its own. The reason I say proper is if you do it the way I described, you can upgrade thematic without losing your changes.

If I were to remove the following section of code, would I end up with

By admin

only?

| Published: Date

would disappear, correct?

$postmeta .= ‘</span><span class=”meta-sep meta-sep-entry-date”> | </span>’;
$postmeta .= ‘<span class=”meta-prep meta-prep-entry-date”>’ . __(‘Published: ‘, ‘thematic’) . ‘</span>’;
$postmeta .= ‘<span class=”entry-date”><abbr class=”published” title=”‘;
$postmeta .= get_the_time(thematic_time_title()) . ‘”>’;
$postmeta .= get_the_time(thematic_time_display());
$postmeta .= ‘</abbr></span>’;

I figured it out! I was able to remove everything by using this in the style.css:

.entry-meta .meta-prep-author, .entry-meta .author, .entry-meta .meta-sep-entry-date, .entry-meta .meta-prep-entry-date, .entry-meta .entry-date{display:none;}

Now, if I want to put By Author back in, I assume I’ll have to take out

.entry-meta .meta-prep-author, .entry-meta .author

Hi,

But the thematic_postheader_posttitle is meant to provide tweaking of the post title.

I have not tried this code. But it should work if you add it to your functions.php in the child theme.

function remove_postheader_posttitle($title){
return ('');
}
add_filter('thematic_postheader_posttitle','remove_postheader_posttitle');

Try this is you want to remove the title from a static front page and leave it on other pages. This also resolves the duplicate h1 tags.

function remove_postheader_posttitle($title) {
if (is_front_page()) {
return ('');
} else {
return ($title);
 }
}
add_filter('thematic_postheader_posttitle', 'remove_postheader_posttitle');
