Conditionally hide title in 'content-page.php'

PHP
1

Hi Guys,
I wish to conditionally hide the page title from showing on my wordpress homepage.

Here’s my starting point: <?php the_title( '<h1 class="entry-title">', '</h1>' ); ?>

Any help appreciated.

Try this:

<?php 
 $theCondition=false; 
 if($theCondition)
{
   the_title( '<h1 class="entry-title">', '</h1>' );
}else{
   the_title( '<h1 class="entry-title"> $theCondition is FALSE</h1>' );
}
 ?>

Function the_title(); may only return a string value in which case echo is required before the function.

John,
Thanks, but I couldn’t get it to work, it just rendered “The condition is FALSE” on the page.

I ended up writing a ‘display: none’ class as below:

        <?php
if (is_front_page()) :  
 the_title( '<h1 class="hide-title">', '</h1>' ); 
    else :
          the_title( '<h1 class="entry-title">', '</h1>' );
    endif;
?>

You can make it really short:

<?php !is_front_page() && the_title('<h1 class="entry-title">', '</h1>'); ?>

Pronounced as NOT is front page AND the title
That means the title will be shown only if it is not a front page

I am not familiar with WordPress so hard-coded $theCondition=false; which was missing in your original post and should have been is_front_page()

I am pleased you managed to get it to work.
