WordPress is a very flexible platform for making websites, blogs, and online stores. It lets creators change almost every part of their site, including layouts, fonts, and design elements.
But a lot of beginners run into a small but annoying problem: page titles showing up where they don’t belong.
You could make something like this:
- A landing page
- A homepage layout
- A custom sales page
- A design-focused portfolio page
In these cases, the default WordPress page title can ruin the design layout by showing unnecessary text at the top of the page.
If you want to hide or remove that title while keeping the page content intact, there are several ways to do it.
To make this process much easier to understand, I created a complete visual walkthrough tutorial where you can see exactly how the process works inside the WordPress dashboard.
▶ Watch the full step-by-step tutorial below:
The video shows you exactly how to hide the page title without messing up your layout and where to click to do it.
In this article, we’ll give you a quick overview of the idea, talk about when it makes sense to hide a page title, and get you ready for the full tutorial.
Why You Might Want to Hide a WordPress Page Title
A lot of WordPress themes show the page title at the top of every page by default. This works well for blog posts and regular pages, but it doesn’t always fit with how websites are designed today.
Here are some common situations where it is helpful to hide the title of a page.
1. Landing Pages.
Landing pages commonly employ custom headlines built with site builders like Elementor or Gutenberg blocks. The default title in WordPress is no longer necessary.
2. Custom Homepage Layouts.
A homepage usually has its own layout, with hero sections, call-to-action areas, and banners. If you show the default title, like “Home,” it can mess up the flow of the page.
3. Sales Pages.
Sales pages rely heavily on design structure and marketing messaging. The built-in page title can distract visitors from the main headline.
4. Portfolio Pages.
Creative people like layouts that are visually clean and don’t have any extra elements that get in the way of the design.
5. Custom Page Builder Designs.
If you design pages using drag-and-drop builders, you usually add your own headings. That makes the default WordPress title unnecessary.

Common Mistakes Beginners Make
