This article is about how to hide home page/featured/front page article in Joomla 2.5
I have been using Joomla 1.5 since a long now and in it a 'front page' article that shows on home page has a simple configuration of hiding article by going into article and then selecting Parameters(Advanced) from the right side menu and hiding title, author, publish date etc however things are different in Joomla 2.5
If you make a article featured (renamed from 'front page') you will see that it will link to the article and removing title option from advanced parameters will only hide it in the article page and not home page. For this Joomla 2.5 has new configuration, for that if you go to 'Menus' from the admin panel you will see a new tab named 'Menu Items' going into that and clicking 'Home' (or whatever you have named the home link) you will see 'Article Options' to the right having similar options like 'Parameters (Advanced)' in Content->Articles, changing it here will remove the title from home page.

It is not under Article Options. You can find it under "Page Display Items" then "Show Page Heading" (yes/no).
ReplyDeletethanks anonymous you made my day
Deletehuaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,, thanks bro,,
Delete:)
thx!
DeleteYes! Thank you ever so much for this note. I spent hours trying to find a way to suppress the "Show Page Heading" option in 2.5.4.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure :)
DeleteWhat if you have multiple articles? Then what? This solution would remove titles to all articles. Going into the article itself and doing it doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteMenu items / Home
DeleteArticle Options
Show Title - Change to "Use Article Settings"
This returns the control of the title display to the article.
Thanks so much!
DeleteThank you for this!
DeleteThanks for this info,you save me some minutes from searching. Have a nice day and thanks for sharing, the information is power. :)
ReplyDeletehow to find page title in codes
ReplyDelete$article->title
DeleteIs that what you mean or you talking about something else?
In Joomla2.5 versions you cannot see "'Parameters" as a tab to hide the title from the Home page you need to click on the :Page Display Options: and give No to Show Page Heading
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info...been slamming my head in a car door over this
ReplyDeletePleasure I could be of help, and hope car door is fine ;)
DeleteA more graceful way ... Go to the menu item that feeds your articles (e.g. Home) and change the Article Options ->Show Title ->Use Article Settings.
ReplyDeleteThen simply set the Show/Hide under the Article Options of each article. This way you control the title display individually.
None of this works for me
ReplyDeleteI'm running 2.5.6 and none of these options work for me either.
DeleteWhat is your site URL?
DeleteAs usual nothing said works or makes any sense. None of these options are provided anywhere. Where is this Page Display Options you are speaking of? It is more stressful to have to keep reading all this useless posts. If you have any real answers please give them.
ReplyDeleteIt works and many people have successfully done it. If you are using some older version or can't find the options then it doesn't mean the post is useless.
DeleteHow to remove the Article displayed on the frontpage. Ican hide the title, but I want to remove the complete article.
ReplyDeleteUncheck the 'featured' option?
DeleteI'm running 2.5.6 and none of these options work for me either. Does anyone have the correct solution for Joomla 2.5.6? I have tried all the solutions above-none working.
ReplyDeleteNone of the above works for me either. I am trying to remove the title on the homepage only. I am displaying an image (and I don't want it to say "image" at the top .. which is I what I called this Article.
ReplyDeleteYour Joomla version?
DeleteMany thanks - this really helped me out.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate, great article!
ReplyDeleteNothing worked for me either..its 2.5.6 version
ReplyDeleteGood article.... I was stuck for an hour...i had totally forgotten about the menu settings....thx ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks a million Usman
ReplyDeleteMy brain was about to explode :)
I'm using Joomla 2.5.8 and I've made all the necessary changes to remove the Title to the Subpages but nothing is working. I had no problem removing the title to the Featured Home page but all the other pages show the Title. Please help.
ReplyDeleteI can't figure it out either. All I want to do is hide the title from an article. It only shows up when it is set to featured! I swear this is really making my life hard
ReplyDeleteThanks, I have spent days and nights to solve this problem.
ReplyDeleteUse a "style" tag at the beginning of one of the featured articles. Joomla 3.0 uses "page-header" class for the featured articles. Since this forum post won't allow tags, open and close this code with a "style" tag:
ReplyDelete.page-header {
display: none;
}
I do not have a menu item linked to the home page so I cannot go to the Page Display Options within a menu item properties
ReplyDeleteIs the CSS code solution the only way to disable display of an article title if one doesn't have a menu item for an article?
How do u link article then?
ReplyDeleteYou can always create a new menu and add items in it and use those links without displaying that menu anywhere.. if that makes sense.
Excellent job, thnx.....was the last "problem" after migrating 1.5 to 2.5
ReplyDeleteThis solution just removes the titles of the featured articles, it doesn't remove the page title, e.g. "Home". There does not seem to be a way to remove page title if the menu is of type Featured Articles. Not displaying page title has been a problem since the beginning of Joomla and I see it is still not completely fixed. My client just request not to have "Home" show up on the home page and it looks like I'm going to have to go into the php code to fix it.
