    Hi all. Well, I have scoured the forum for answers, and unfortunatly I’m not AT ALL savvy at coding so I’ll need help in baby terms. I know HTML but this is a whole new world for me.

    I have two problems and if you check my site, you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about https://dianereiter.com

    If you check my blog, you’ll ses the title appear in blue beneath my banner momentarly until the page loads completely. You’ll actually also see a white one, too but I can deal with that. I have NO idea how to get rid of this..where to go, what to do.

    The other problem is on my About page (the tab for this page is top left). The page title is showing up twice “About About.” NO idea how to get rid of this one, either.

    Can anyone give me a hand?

    Thanks a million!

  • Try removing your site title from settings/general.

    Is your about page a post? odd that none of your other posts have the double title. If it is a post, the only difference is the about me post is linked to the main menu.. maybe somethng to do with that?

    I don’t want to remove that from the setting/general section because that will cause problems with search engines. I need the title/description to remain. I know there is a way of adding some coding to the end of the page php file that it supposed to remove it but it hasn’t work.

    The “About” page is not a post, it’s a page title. If I remove “about me” it removes all text from my navigation tab for that page. In other words, a tab is still there but it’s blank.

    You have an <h1> hidden by the image, this is absoultely dangerous for SEO porpouse. You need to delete the <h1></h1> form your header.php

    Okay!! Thanks for that info! I’ll take a peek!

    YouON, Are you talking this entire line in the header?

    <h1 id=”name-text” class=”logo-name”>
    /”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></h1>

    yup

    Okay…I did what YouON suggested for the SEO, now does anyone have any suggestions for the site title and About Me page title issues?

    What have you tried? did you use css to try and hide the title? it won’t effect SEO. What about changing it’s font color so it blends in with the page background?

    I added
    #header h1 { display:none } to the style.css but it didn’t work so I’m assuming I didn’t do it right.

    And yes…changing the title to white would be awesome…except I have no idea where or how to change it. I’ve poured through the code and attempted to do so, but I haven’t been able to figure it out.

    As I mentioned, I’m familiar with html but this is completely foreign to me.

    Maybe try to adjust here, maybe change it all to white?

    #header h1 {
    	margin: 0px;
    	padding: 0px;
    	float: left;
    	width: 100%;
    	font-size: 28px;
    	color: #000000;
    	line-height: 30px;
    }
    #header p {
    	margin: 0px;
    	padding: 0px;
    	float: left;
    	width: 100%;
    	color: #666666;
    }
    #header a {
    	color: #6E2828;
    	text-decoration: none;
    }
    #header a:hover {
    	color: #000000;
    	text-decoration: none;
    }

    Concerning the double title, do you get the same problem if you create another page with a title? Are you using a custom page template by chance? And what does your page template code look like? Care to post it?

    Okay…I’ll give it a shot. This is actually something I can do. ??

    Thank you.

    Be sure to remove (don’t use) all the code that does not refer to text color, sorry i should have done that first.

    Also,

    #header h1 { display:none }

    should be written like

    #header h1: {display:none;}

    You left out the ;.

    Wow. Thanks! Some day I’ll actually get a handle on all of this. I appreciate your help!

    deepbevel, I lied. I fixed that last code that you gave me but I cannot even locate the other code you suggested to change to all white. Where in the world will I find that? I thought it’d be in the stylesheet page. I had another blog at one point and I used a WordPress theme. I was able to figure out any of the tweaking that needed to be done myself. This one is much harder for me for some reason. Maybe I’m just that much older…

    As for the double page title, yes…this is a custom template and it does indeed occur with any new page I create. It wasn’t initially a problem but seemed to crop up at some point, and I cannot even tell you what may have happened to prompt this.

    Here’s the page template:

    <?php get_header(); ?>
    <?php
    $lcmp_page_head = <<<TXT
    <div class=”contentLayout”>
    <div class=”sidebar1″>
    <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/sidebar1.php’); ?>
    </div>
    <div class=”content”>

    TXT;
    $lcmp_is_left = strpos($lcmp_page_head,”sidebar”);
    if($lcmp_is_left===FALSE){
    $lcmp_rightdefault = ‘default’;
    $lcmp_leftdefault = ‘notdefault’;
    }else{
    $lcmp_leftdefault = ‘default’;
    $lcmp_rightdefault = ‘notdefault’;
    }
    ?>
    <div class=”contentLayout”>
    <?php
    global $lcmp_sidebarloc;
    if($lcmp_sidebarloc == $lcmp_leftdefault || $lcmp_sidebarloc == ‘left’){ ?>
    <div class=”sidebar1″>
    <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/sidebar1.php’); ?>
    </div>
    <?php } ?>
    <div class=”content”>
    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
