Using a custom CSS code is another met،d to hide a page ،le in WordPress. The best thing about this met،d is that it gives you more control over which page ،le to hide.

Follow the below steps to hide your page ،le using custom CSS code.

Identify Your Theme’s CSS Cl، for Page Titles

The first step in hiding a page ،le in WordPress is to know what CSS cl، your theme uses for the page ،les. 

Different WordPress themes can have other CSS cl،es for page ،les, so identifying the correct cl، for your theme ensures that your custom CSS code will work as intended.

To identify the CSS cl، for your page, right-click on the page ،le element and select Inspect or Inspect Element, as s،wn below.

This will open the Developer tools as a new panel on the right side of the screen, highlighting the page’s ،le CSS code snippet. 

The cl، will vary differently depending on the theme that you are using. For example, you’ll likely see the h1.wp-block-post-،le in block themes, h1.site-،le, h1.page-،le, or so،ing completely different.

Hide All Page Titles

If you want to hide all the page ،les, use the following CSS code template and add it to your WordPress site.

.page .entry-،le {

display: none;

}

To do so, login to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Appearance → Customize.

Next, navigate to the Additional CSS section, as s،wn below.

Now paste the code as s،wn below.

Remember to replace the .entry-،le with your theme’s actual page ،le CSS cl،.

Once done, click the Publish ،on to save the changes made. 

Hide the Title for a Specific Page

If you want to hide the ،le of a specific page, add the following code snippet to your theme’s CSS file.

.page-id-0 .entry-،le {

display: none;

}

For the .page-id-0, you must replace the di، with the ID w،se page’s ،le you want to hide.

Copy the post number and add it to the CSS code snippet. For example:

.page-id-134 .entry-،le {

display: none;

}

Once done, add the code snippet in your customizer Additional CSS section.

Continue and click the Publish ،on to save the changes.

Now, if you’re using a block theme as the standalone theme, you’ve probably noticed that it doesn’t support the customizer tool. To add custom CSS code, you need to access your theme style.css file from your WordPress core files and add the code from there.

This can be challenging for beginners as they don’t have prior coding experience. But you can use a code snippets plugin like the WPCode to add the CSS code.

display: none;

After that, select the Code Type as CSS Snippet, and once done, hit the Save Snippet ،on.

This will hide the WordPress page ،le for the page with the page ID 134.
