One problem I had was that on the homepage of my site I wanted to hide the title, so that it would not say “Home” in big black letters. The PHP file that needed to be edited in order to make this happen could not be accessed in the regular Appearance->Editor area. This is because the post on my homepage is a “Page” and not a regular “Post”. So the following is how to edit the default Page template for the Carrington Theme.

1. Using an FTP client grab wp-content/themes/carrington-blog/content/page.php from your site’s directory.
   Note if you are using the default WordPress theme this equivalent file can be found under wp-content/themes/default/page.php.
2. Make necessary edits to file and then upload it back to your site.

On my site I wanted to hide the title (<h1>) tag on my homepage. The homepage had an ID of 2 so I used the following PHP code to achieve my desired result.

Note: to find the id of a post or page in the WordPress admin look at the URL string in your browser when editing a post or a page. It will have somewhere in there the word post=<a #> “a #” is the id of that post or page.

<?php if(get_the_ID() != 2){ ?>
         <h1 class="entry-title full-title"><?php the_title() ?></h1>
<?php } ?>

If you didn’t want page titles to ever appear you could just delete everything between the <h1> tags.
