  Dear support staff:

  How do I remove the title in a static page?

  If you look at my site, ‘LISTEN’ and ‘ABOUT AHR’ are both static pages. I’d like to know how to keep these titles from appearing redundantly at the top of the page (as they are mere repeats of the menu title). I tried to remove them via Pages, but ended with ‘(no title)’ showing up on my menu, and that’s not the intention.

  Many thanks in advance.
  AC

  Doing it by editing the pages and the menu is possible; see this post of mine, #f under “Other options”:

  But since you have the upgrade it’s better to use CSS editing:

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

  Oh, and just in case I want to do it…

  What is the CSS code for removing blog post titles?

  You’re welcome.
  Why would you want to remove the post titles?
  Anyway, post titles show on many places (main posts page, category pages, other archive pages, single post view). You mean removing them from the single post view?

  You’re right. Post titles are links to single post views… If I get rid of the post title, what would the viewer click on to enter the post…

  Suppose… the post titles under ‘City Voices’ and ‘My Collection’ were hidden. The site would have a cleaner look (as the title is already written in my audio player). But would that present any technical problems for browsing/archiving?

  What would the viewer click on to enter the post? Nothing!
  On the other hand, category pages display the whole content of each post, so why enter a post? The only difference is the sharing buttons; you can make them show on category pages, but that defeats the purpose of “clean”.
  So I don’t think I have an answer for you. Or maybe I have: if you’re looking for clean on archive pages, you could do the opposite of what you’re thinking of: keep the title and remove the content.
