How do I hide the page title on my home page?

You can set its css to display: none;

Or you can find the code in the page.tpl.php template in your theme and delete or preferably comment out the code - or try looking in template.php and node.tpl.php

(always remember to back up the original files in case it doesn't work the way you planned!)

I think using css is preferable

I am working on a site with ALL the Drupal features hidden on the front end - for now we're using the back end - I think we will eventually want the community plumbing, so then it'll be easy to roll it out.

About half of the hiding is done with css, some had to be done in the php templates

The pages are made up of individual nodes assembled sort of like php includes

I also had to create a dedicated admin page for login and site management.

I found another method useful on my site: create a specific node.tpl.php file for just the node(s) appearing on the front page. Details here: http://drupal.org/node/136647.

I opened a feature request for this at #639966: Let us hide title on default front page.

Here is how I solved this issue, using page.tpl.php:

<?php if (!$is_front): ?>
<h1 class="title" id="page-title"><?php if (!empty($title)): print $title; endif; ?></h1>
<?php endif; ?>

An Omega Sub-theme has settings in "Toggle advanced elements" to hide the Page Title, Site Name, Site Slogan with CSS while leaving them accessible to screen readers.

see http://drupal.org/node/1298698

Yet another way :D

This worked like a charm; thanks!

Juliadvw's solution working for me --

I replaced this

if ($title):
print $title;

endif;

in the page.tpl.php (main div section) with Julia's code and it worked perfectly for me. Hope this helps others.

(sorry, I don't know why the code breaks up into short sections when posted)

Every page should contain a heading.

You should always maintain a structured hierarchy of headings within any web page. You should never have a blank heading or even hide it with display:none;. Hiding any content which isn’t viewable by your visitors but is by search engines is against Google’s guidelines as your intention is to only manipulate search engine results by including it. Restyle a H1 so it fits into your design is the best option.

If you still have to hide it then a better option would be to either create a template for that node, content type or page and simply not print the heading.
Or if you want to use CSS then use position:absolute so the heading doesn’t use any space where it is located in the page and text-indent:-9999px; so the text is moved off the screen and no longer visible but at least can be read by screen readers and search engines.

In Drupal 7, copy page.tpl.php to page--front.tpl.php, which is a template overide for the front page only, and delete the title code.

I have Create new code Page Title hide in my home page..

template.php

function _themename_hide_page_title()
{
global $user;

$return_value = TRUE;
$current_path = current_path();
$patterns = theme_get_setting('hide_page_title');
if (empty($patterns)) {
return TRUE;
}
if (defined('LOGIN_REGISTER_ON_PAGE') && LOGIN_REGISTER_ON_PAGE && !$user->uid) {
$patterns .= "\n" . "user";
}
$path_alias = drupal_lookup_path('alias', $current_path);
if (drupal_match_path($current_path, $patterns) || drupal_match_path($path_alias, $patterns)) {
$return_value = FALSE;
}
return $return_value;
}
