Final Verdict

Hide Title offers a straightforward and free solution for hiding page titles on manually created WordPress pages, with no known security risks. However, its inconsistent performance, especially with WooCommerce and newer WordPress versions, limits its usefulness for many users. The lack of updates and developer support further diminishes its reliability.

The absence of direct alternatives highlights its niche role but also the need for better-maintained solutions.

FAQ

It is possible that your theme does not have the wp_head function in it’s header.php file. In general all themes are suppose to have it, and version 1.0.2 looks for it to prevent adding bad code to the <head> area of the page. If you have access to your theme file simply add <?php wp_head(); ?> to header.php just before the </head> tag. If not, this plugin will no longer be compatible with your theme.

By default this plugin looks for the .entry-title class and hides it. If it doesn’t find it it will look for any h1 or h2 elements that contain the title and hide them instead. To change the default .entry-title selector to something that makes more sense to you, add the following code to the functions.php file of your current theme:

global $DojoDigitalHideTitle; // Be sure to replace ".your-selector" with your selector! $DojoDigitalHideTitle->set_selector('.your-selector');

As noted in the comments, you’ll need to replace the string .your-selector with the css selector you’d like hidden. It can be any valid css selector such as h1, .myclass, #myid, etc. I recommend using a class or id to avoid accidentally hiding unforeseen elements.

global $DojoDigitalHideTitle; // Be sure to replace ".your-selector" with your selector! $DojoDigitalHideTitle->set_selector('.your-selector');
