[Resolved] Removing title on custom post type

[njwrigley]

Hi there,

I have a Custom Post Type with a slug of “gig”.

I’m just wondering what the best way is to remove the display of the post title on the single post page in GP?

I don’t want to use a CSS hack ‘display:none’ and wondered if you had any better ideas?

Thanks

I should perhaps add that I’m playing with Beaver Themer, and so I don’t want to edit a single.php file as Beaver Themer is taking care of the display for me.

The generate_show_title is the filter you’re looking for: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_show_title/

You could try:

add_filter( 'generate_show_title','tu_gig_remove_title' );
function tu_gig_remove_title( $title ) {
    if ( is_singular( 'gig' ) ) {
        return false;
    }

    return $title;
}

Yep – that worked a treat!

Thanks Tom.

Tom,

I am trying to do the same here:

add_filter( 'generate_show_title','bb_remove_title' );
function bb_remove_title( $title ) {
    if ( is_singular( array( 'refurbs', 'yizumi' ) ) ) {
        return false;
    }

    return $title;
}

This isn’t working for me though. Any ideas?

[Tom]

Looks good to me. Are you sure refurbs/yizumi are the correct slugs of your custom post types?

This function would also on affect the single posts of those custom post types, not the listing/archives page.

Hi Tom

Struggling with this as well and then i found this answer https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/show-title-filter-is-not-applied/#post-259752

How can i combine the above with this? Thanks !

[Tom]

This should do it:

function bb_remove_title( $title ) {
    if ( is_singular( array( 'refurbs', 'yizumi' ) ) ) {
        return false;
    }

    return $title;
}

add_action( 'after_setup_theme','tu_after_setup_theme' );
function tu_after_setup_theme() {
    add_filter( 'generate_show_title', 'bb_remove_title' );
}

It’s working, thanks Tom !
