  I’d like to use the cover block at the beginning of the content for each menu page. Is there a way to put the page title and an image in a cover block? I was not able to do it without the redundancy of the page title and the cover block both showing as in my last menu item. Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Good morning –

  Can you let me know which post or page you’re working on? Happy to take a look.

  Thanks for checking. Here’s the page I’m working on. https://somanyminis.wordpress.com/the-peachstone-cottage/
  Note that I have the page title, “The Peachstone Cottage” and then it is repeated in the cover block. Is there a way to use the words in the cover block as the page title?

  Do you want “The Peachstone Cottage” removed from the title space or the overlay on the image?

  I’d like it removed from the title space, without removing the words from the site menu.

  Thanks. How does it look now?

  I edited the page and deleted the title, leaving it blank.

  I checked the change you made. It did remove the words from the site menu and replaced them with a default, “#545(no title)”.

  Hi, so, you could manually edit the site menu to give it a different title. Still, that would leave a “no title” message in your browser bar / bookmarks, it seems.

  Really your best bet is to remove the text with CSS. Here’s the code you would need:

  .page p.wp-block-cover-text {
      display: none;
  }

  You would need a plan that supports CSS to do this, though (Premium or Business.) I’m not seeing any other excellent options with this theme, but you might preview a few other themes, too, to see if you like a different one better.

  Looks like the cover block is designed for the paid plans. I’ll keep my site simple for now while I’m learning. Thank you for looking into this.
