Install

Download source zip No release zip yet

This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/jcjason12108-alt/hide-page-post-title/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
Updates itself. It ships its own updater (Plugin Update Checker), so new versions appear under Dashboard → Updates.

Hide Page & Post Title (WordPress Plugin)

Repository: https://github.com/jcjason12108-alt/hide-page-post-title
Requires WordPress Version: 5.8 or higher
Compatible up to: 7.0
Requires PHP Version: 7.4 or higher

Adds a per-post checkbox to hide the theme-rendered title without touching the content you typed in the editor.

  • On block themes, the plugin removes the core/post-title block output.
  • On classic themes, it injects safe, scoped CSS that hides only the theme’s title markup.

Features

  • Adds a “Hide Page and Post Title” checkbox to the editor sidebar (posts, pages, and custom post types).
  • Works seamlessly with block themes (e.g., Twenty Twenty-Four) and classic themes.
  • Leaves headings inside your content untouched — only the theme-generated title is hidden.
  • Cleans up metadata when posts are deleted.
  • Lightweight, no settings page needed.

Installation

  1. Download the release ZIP from GitHub Releases.
  2. In WordPress: Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin and select the ZIP.
  3. Activate the plugin.

Usage

  1. Edit any post or page.
  2. In the right-hand sidebar, look for the “Hide Page and Post Title” option.
  3. Check the box → Update the post.
  4. The front-end title generated by the theme will now be hidden.

How It Works

  • Block Themes: Filters render_block and removes the core/post-title block entirely.
  • Classic Themes: Enqueues scoped inline CSS and falls back to filtering the current post title when a theme does not use standard title markup. Example: 

.postid-123 .entry-title,
.postid-123 .wp-block-post-title,
.postid-123 .page-title { display: none !important; }

This ensures only the theme-rendered title disappears — body content and editor headings remain intact.
