How to Remove or Customize Page Titles in Hello Elementor Theme

19 threads Sep 16, 2025 Theme → Hello elementor

Content

Many users of the Hello Elementor theme encounter a common issue: the automatic display of page or post titles that they wish to hide or customize. This can be particularly frustrating when building a custom layout with Elementor, as the theme's default title can create a duplicate heading or disrupt the design.

Why This Happens

The Hello Elementor theme is designed to be minimal and works in tandem with the Elementor page builder. By default, it outputs standard WordPress elements, including the page title. This behavior is part of the theme's core template files. The title is not generated by Elementor itself but by the theme's inherent structure, which is why the 'Hide Title' feature within an Elementor template might not always affect the theme's output.

Common Solutions

1. Using a Filter in a Child Theme (Recommended)

The most robust and update-safe method is to use the dedicated filter provided by the Hello Elementor theme. This requires adding a small code snippet to your website, preferably within a child theme's functions.php file to prevent it from being lost during theme updates.

add_filter( 'hello_elementor_page_title', '__return_false' );

This single line of code will disable the theme's page title output globally across your entire site.

2. Using Elementor Pro's Theme Builder

If you are using Elementor Pro, you can create a custom header template using the Theme Builder. Applying a custom header often overrides the default theme output, including the title. This method provides a visual interface for controlling what appears on your pages without writing code.

3. Custom CSS for Selective Hiding

For a quick, non-permanent fix that doesn't require a child theme, you can hide the title using CSS. This method simply makes the title invisible but does not remove it from the HTML source code.

.entry-title { display: none; }

You can add this code by navigating to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS in your WordPress dashboard.

Important Considerations

  • Child Theme: Always use a child theme when modifying theme files or adding custom code. This ensures your changes are not overwritten when the Hello Elementor theme receives an update.
  • SEO: Be mindful of your site's SEO. Removing an H1 title from a page without providing a new one in your Elementor layout can be detrimental. Ensure your custom header or page content includes a proper heading tag.
  • Specificity: The solutions above are for global changes. To target a title on a specific page or post type, you may need to write more specific CSS rules or conditional PHP code.

Based on community discussions, the filter method (add_filter( 'hello_elementor_page_title', '__return_false' );) is the most effective and officially supported way to handle this issue with the Hello Elementor theme.
