How to Disable Title on Posts, Pages, or Other Post Types?

The title is the name of your post, page, or other post types you might have on your website.

The title appears in the front end and can be disabled from the Title(eye Icon) or with the custom code. We’ll discuss both of these methods in this article.

Method 1 – Disabling Page/Post Title Via Settings

Page/Post meta settings or Astra Settings are available for each individual post or page. Thus, using the Eye Icon on the Page/Post Title you can decide for each post, page, or post type to disable the Title where needed.

To make it intuitive and easy to enable/disable we have provided this option right on the Title section, without the need to open the Astra settings.

In this example, we will disable the title for the “About us” page. To do this:

Navigate to Pages > All Pages and select the page for which you want to hide the title.

Place your cursor on the title block. A new eye icon will be visible to you, click on it to disable your page title.

Click on the Update button and preview the changes on your front end to verify these changes.

Here’s how the page looks before disabling the title:

Here’s how the “About Us” page looks after the page title is disabled:

If you wish to apply this setting to a larger number of pages or posts, then editing every page and updating the above setting can be time-consuming. In this case, you can use the Astra Bulk Edit plugin. This will allow editing the above settings on multiple pages.

To re-enable the Title, simply click on the eye icon once again and it will be enabled once again.

Method 2 – Disabling the Title Via Custom Code

You can also do this using a custom code. This can be a great solution if you want to disable titles on all posts, pages, or other post types.

You can add the following custom code to the functions.php file of your Child Theme:

/** 
 * Disable title on all post types. 
 */ 
function your_prefix_post_title() { 
 $post_types = array('page','post'); 

 // bail early if the current post type if not the one we want to customize. 
 if ( ! in_array( get_post_type(), $post_types ) ) { return; } 

 // Disable title. 
 add_filter( 'astra_the_title_enabled', '__return_false' ); 
}
add_action( 'wp', 'your_prefix_post_title' );

If you don’t have your Child Theme installed, please check this article on how to do it. 

If you’re not sure how to add this code, please check this article.

This code will remove titles on all of your pages and posts. You can apply this code only to pages, posts, any of your other post types, or all of them by modifying the bolded part of the code above. Here are examples of how this should look like:

• To remove titles on all your posts only:

$post_types = array('post');

• To remove titles on all your pages only:

$post_types = array('page');

• Remove titles on all pages, posts, and example custom post types. This is the example that you can use to add any other post types to which you want the above code to be applied:

$post_types = array('page','post','custom-type-1');
