  My theme allows me to Hide Homepage Title. How can I do this on other pages? Is there some custom CSS I can insert?

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

  Via Custom CSS https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-css/ add this:

  .page .entry-title {
      display: none;
  }

  Thank you! That removed the title, but still left a white block where the title used to be. It is a thinner white block, but still a white stripe. Any suggestions for that?

  Ideally when editing a page, then under the document tab, I could “Hide Title” similar to how it is done using the Customizer for the Homepage.

  Could you take a screen shot of what you’re seeing?

  Here is the image link. You can see the white stripe under the menu and above the image. This is where the page title used to be displayed.

  Try adding this:

  .page #main {
      padding-top: 0px;
  }

  @maxmanx Actually, I spoke too soon. The first CSS:

  .page .entry-title {
  display: none;
  }

  Also removed the titles from my blogs

  Argh yeah, that is a problem. Some themes declare the page titles differently than post titles, meaning they can be specifically targeted.

  In this case, it appears that your theme does not.

  Any suggestions?
  Why is title missing from the home page – as I want – yet appears on the other pages?
  Can I add the custom CSS just to specific pages, rather than all of them?
  The blog posts blocks allow me to add CSS. Can I am add CSS to add the title back in, and if so, what does that look like?

  CSS is sort of both a blunt and precision instrument. You can target specific things, like titles, but that will affect the entire site.

  There is no title on the home page, because the theme is designed to do that when a static front page is selected.
