Titles used to not display (on purpose), now they're all visible…?

    Hello everyone. I inherited this website from some previous employees that worked here. I have no PHP experience and although this site is technically running on the Genesis framework, the previous person created a custom child theme and left little instruction for it. So it has a LOT of custom functionality that I can’t even begin to worm through.

    I have not really touched or modified any of the CSS or back end aside from going into some hardcoded modules to edit the HTML text, so I have no idea what happened, but previously none of the page titles displayed. That is the correct way for them to work. As you can see, every single page has a title displayed (meaning some pages are even doubled because there are H1 tags in the WP editor.

    I have tried modifying the CSS to .entry-title {display:none;} which did not work. Can someone please point me in the correct direction? I’m happy to provide whatever you ask for, but I don’t know what someone would need outright to help me.

    Thanks!

  • You could try this in your CSS:

    h1.entry-title {
    display: none !important;
    }

    Thank you, that does work, though I hate to use !important tags if I can get away with it.

    Do you have any idea whats interfering with the titles in the first place?

    There isn’t any other CSS targeting that element. The selector @bookgirlmn provided is specific enough that you shouldn’t need the !important rule.

    so I have no idea what happened, but previously none of the page titles displayed.

    If that’s the case then something has changed to cause them to be displayed. It would appear that the default functionality would be to display them so, unless you removed some CSS, some other change is the cause. StudioPress, which is the Genesis vendor, is known for excellent customer support. You might try posting your question on their Community Forum page. If you have the StudioPress user account info you can log on to the official support forum.

    Okay thank you, I’ll check in with StudioPress.

    The only thing updated on the site recently was the DB password in the wp-config.php file. So definitely nothing in the code or anything.

    I’ll mark this as resolved and go with this solution for now. Thank you!
