Setting the loop to not display the page title on the static home page

    Sooo, first of all, props to an amazing community. WordPress really is incredible, and its online following/community is even more so.

    I’ve been using wordpress for a long time, but just recently started developing for it.

    My question is this:

    I’m currently developing a new theme based off of darren hoyt’s gravy framework.

    In the loop, I find this near the very beginning of the loop.

    “<h1 class=”posttitle”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>”

    I want this to continue to work, but to not work on the static front page of my site as set in wordpress.

    I think I can use “is_front_page()” as a conditional tag for this, but, I’m not sure about the exact way to do it.

    I’m thinking I need something like “<h1 class=”posttitle”><?php !is_front_page() the_title(); ?></h1>

    Where !is_front_page() means “is not front page”

    Essentially, I want to post the title on everypage except the frontpage….I’m sure this is simple, but I’m having difficulty figuring it out.

    any help is greatly appreciated!

  • <h1 class=posttitle'>
<?php if (!is_front_page()) {
   the_title();
}
?>
</h1>

    I believe

    Hrmmm, tried that code, didn’t work. Odd. I’m still confused…seems so simple…

    <?php if ( is_front_page()) {
      echo '';
} else {
      the_title();
}
?>

    Maybe? Not sure what’s up with the previous…..

    Oh wow. I’m sorry, turns out I was wrong. The first bit of code you posted works and fixed my issue, thanks!

    I was editing the wrong loop.php file

    Much appreciated!!! Thanks again!
