WordPress : How to remove page title only from a single page

Posted on December 22, 2010 by kiranvj

Do this if you don’t want to show the page title on top of a page in wordpress.

Method 1 : (will not work if you save the post in Visual editor mode)

Add this style below the content in HTML editor.

<style>.entry-title {display:none;}</style>

Make sure the editor mode is HTML, NOT Visual

Method 2 (editing the CSS style sheet)

First you need to get the ID of your page.

How to find the ID of the page

  1. Preview or publish your page.
  2. View html source of your page (Ctrl+U in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, Top menu->View->Source in Internet Explorer )
  3. Search for body tag. The page ID will be shown in the body tag.
    In this case the page ID is 40
  4. Now go to Appearance->Editor in WordPress admin
  5. Edit style.css
  6. Add this style 
    #post-40 .entry-title
{
   display:none;
}

    Change 40 to your page ID.

  7. Save the file.
  8. Now check the page. You will not see the title of the page.
  9. For hiding page title in multiple pages add style like this 
    #post-40 .entry-title,
#post-41 .entry-title,
#post-42 .entry-title
{
   display:none;
}

    In this case page title will not be shown in pages which has ID 40,41,42

Change login link to logout link.

Posted on December 29, 2007 by kiranvj

There are times when you have to change the login link in your webpage to a logout link when a user successfully logged in.

Here is a simple way to do it in PHP

Suppose your menu is

Link 1
Login
Link 2

the corresponding HTML code will look like

<a href='somepage.php'>Link 1</a>
<a href='login.php'>Login</a>
<a href='some_other_link.php'>Link 2</a>

After successful login most probably you will set a session. Say the name of the session variable is username
Then the code for the menu will look like

<a href='somepage.php'>Link 1</a>
<?php
if(isset($_SESSION['username']) && $_SESSION['username']!="")
{
      echo("<a href='logout.php'>Logout</a> ");
      echo($_SESSION['username']);// displays username
}
else
{
      echo("<a href='login.php'>Login</a> ");
}
?>
<a href='some_other_link.php'>Link 2</a>

and also make sure to add

<?php
    session_start();
?>

on top of your page.
