How to Globally Turn Off All Page Titles

I would like to remove the page titles such as: Privacy Notice, Conditions of Use etc.
I can't for the life of me find where to do this in the admin, and my keyword searches for 'Titles' and 'Page titles' have produced mainly metatag threads.

Can anyone tell me how to go about it?

Thanks!!

Re: How to Globally Turn Off All Page Titles

Find the CSS id or class and use display: none;

Re: How to Globally Turn Off All Page Titles

Melt, if you mean the title just below the breadcrumb, what Kim means is for each one you don't want, do

#siteMapHeading {
display: none;
}

#privacyDefaultHeading {
display: none;
}

and so forth.

Good luck,
Scott

Hi Scott - Thanks for taking the time to respond.
I hate to be thick (I just can't help it! :huh: ) but where do I make those changes? I don't see any individual page refrences in my stylesheet.css.

Re: How to Globally Turn Off All Page Titles

Just put those lines at the bottom of your stylesheet.css. This is in your
includes/templates/<template name>/css directory.

Re: How to Globally Turn Off All Page Titles

Re: How to Globally Turn Off All Page Titles

Get Firefox (if you don't already have it) and the webdeveloper addon. There's a way to display the ID information (and lots more).

... or right click/View Source.

Afo's suggestion is faster and provides more information, but I don't have the FF extension
on all my systems, so I usually just fall back to View Source.

Wow - Cool tool! That did the trick. Thanks for the tip and thanks to all three of you for helping out.

Re: How to Globally Turn Off All Page Titles

The webdeveloper tool also lets you play with the stylesheet on the fly and try things out. You'll have to copy your changes in order to save them, but it comes in really handy when searching for some of those minor (or major) bits and pieces you want to change.

Mary Ellen since you are obviously FireFox knowledgeable, I'd like to throw a question at you: I have both FF & IE installed so as to be able to confirm that everything looks OK in both of these browsers. Without exception my sites always look better in IE. By better I mean I that the font edges are not jagged, the photos load more smoothly and overall things just seem more like one, complete unit as opposed to many different parts making up a whole.

Can you tell me why that is?

Thanks!

Re: How to Globally Turn Off All Page Titles

I'm not very knowledgeable about Firefox. In fact, I consider it pretty flaky (JMHO... I find it closes itself without warning), but I know that Firefox is much pickier than IE about the way things are handled. In other words, IE is more "forgiving" when rendering pages.

I mostly use Firefox for comparison (to check how it looks as opposed to IE) and tinkering with the stylesheet without having to FTP each change.

Hmmm... I'm not alone then, as that is exactly what I do. I see the concerted effort being made by what seem to be web developers to get everyone to switch from IE to FF. I understand that it is more compliant but I still like the look and feel of my sites in IE. Also, around 75% of my visitors are riding on IE, although there has been a very noticeable increase in FF users.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it, I guess. For the time being I'll just keep doing what I'm doing! :thumbsup:
