Hi there, I'm trying to hide the page title for only one page because it doesn't look good under the "Boxes" above (for the staff photos and names) for this particular template page i set up. I need the "content" to appear below (i tried also to use a "content box" but as i already have a "content box" set up for the top area above my branding, it duped it when i tried to have two content boxes on one page--that was weird too, but another issue) but without the header title saying 'board members'. You can see what I mean when you view it here (it's password protected and the PW is pagelines):

I tried firebug but couldn't find the right selectors...can someone help??? I was trying to do a display:none approach... Thanks a bunch! Tan

Tan, It takes a combination of the post ID and .hentry and .entry-title:

Let us know if that works.

hi rangelone, that's what i got off firebug too...and i tried it again but nothing... any other ideas?

[Rob]

Where did you add the code?

[tandan]

in the base theme's style.css... should it not be there? i've done other mods and added it there without a problem...

[Henry Perkins]

I've had difficulty with the Base Theme's functions and css files. Have you tried the pagelines-customize plugin? I've found much better results there.

[tandan]

hi henry, no, i haven't tried the customize plugin...i'm not sure if can use both now that i've started using the other. i also tried the above code in the custom codes section of dashboard > pagelines > custom code and no go there either... i have no idea how to implement this using "content" section...maybe some other method that i'm not seeing?

[Henry Perkins]

You can use both together, as long as same content doesn't appear in both. (just to avoid redundant styling)

Add this to your pagelines-customize plugin style.css

Hi Henry, that worked BUT it also took away the headers on all the other pages and didn't target that particular post...

[catrina]

Try this CSS instead:

Hi Henry! I totally figured it out thanks to a combo of yours and Rangelone's code... I took your #post-25.hentry and plugged it into his other selectors--and it worked! So the final code that worked was:

What I don't get is HOW to get that code from using Firebug. I use Firebug often but with pageslines I have so many problems trying to find the selectors and feel like such a noob all the time. I just don't GET what I'm missing... In any case, thanks for your help! That #post-25 did the trick!!

@Catrina, Hi! I just saw your message and tried that too and it worked! Thanks so much!

My comment from above still stands: [quote]What I don't get is HOW to get that code from using Firebug. I use Firebug often but with pageslines I have so many problems trying to find the selectors and feel like such a noob all the time. I just don't GET what I'm missing...[/quote

Do you have any tips?

[catrina]

You're welcome .

If you're trying to do something on one specific page (in this case, the Board Members page), the first selector you need to use is the one in the body tag, which is at the top of the source page and it's always in the format page-id-# (# is replaced by the ID number for that specific page). So far that CSS will look like this:

...But it's not done yet. You need to add the selector for the page element you're trying to customize (in your case, you want to hide the page title. The page title selector is going to look like this when it's found in Firebug:

There's a space between "entry-title" and "pagetitle". In the CSS selector you use, you just need to replace that space with a period so that it looks like this:

So the CSS will now look like this when you add the selector above:

...and then the CSS attributes you want are put inside curly brackets:

awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to help, catrina. i can't wait to try it out on something else!

[janpeeters]

You can also find the page-id by looking at the pagetitle when you're editing a page in Wordpress. It will show something like: /wp-admin/post.php?post=XX&action=edit if you use the number at the XX for page-id-xx you're good to go.

@catrina, i actually tried what you mentioned above on another site and it's not working...any ideas on why? is it because it's a home page?

@pross I went to download the new framework but only 2.1.6 is available for download. Are you just letting me know that 2.2 is coming out or am I missing the update somehow? Thanks for your help!

[Simon_P]

2.2 will be next major release not available quite yet, just saying you can use this new method when it is.
