[Support request] When editing in Gutenberg remove the title from the editing interface

Hi Jacob,

The theme doesn’t control the UI fields and layout of Gutenberg Editor.

At most, GP Premium only adds Layout Metabox to the UI but the rest is either WordPress core UI or from another plugin.

To add: it’s actually important to leave the post title field enabled and have it filled because SEOs fetch this value for the metadata. If you turn this field off, there’d be no way to add the post title conveniently. The posts will literally have no title.

While I understand that you can always add an H1 element inside the content, that h1 tag is content. It’s not a post title WordPress can dynamically fetch for SEO and post listing purposes. 🙂

The quickest workaround is by running this PHP snippet to your site.

add_action( 'enqueue_block_editor_assets', function() {
    $css = '.edit-post-visual-editor__post-title-wrapper {
    display: none;
}';
    wp_add_inline_style( 'generate-block-editor-styles', $css );
}, 100 );

This basically adds this CSS to the block editor:

.edit-post-visual-editor__post-title-wrapper {
    display: none;
}

Which hides the post title fields to all things you edit within Gutenberg.

Yes that’s right. You can paste the PHP snippet on a Code Snippets plugin or a child theme’s functions.php.

Let us know how it goes. 😀

No problem. Glad to be of any help. 😀

Hi there,

you can try this PHP Snippet to hide the title in the editor:

add_filter( 'block_editor_settings_all', function( $editor_settings ) {
    $css = '.edit-post-visual-editor__post-title-wrapper {
        display: none;
    }';
    
    $editor_settings['styles'][] = array( 'css' => $css );
    return $editor_settings;
} ); 

You’re welcome
