The Storefront theme displays the homepage H1 title by default, no matter if you use the “Default” or the “Homepage” page template.
Of course, you could do it via CSS, with a simple “display:none”. Even better, you could completely avoid loading the homepage title by using PHP (SEOs out there: better not to load an H1 than hiding it via CSS, right?).
So, how do they do it? Here’s the quick fix!
PHP Snippet 1: Remove Homepage Title @ Storefront (“Homepage” Page Template)
/**
* @snippet Hide Homepage Title - Storefront Homepage Page Template
* @how-to businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-customization
* @author Rodolfo Melogli, Business Bloomer
* @compatible WooCommerce 6
* @community https://businessbloomer.com/club/
*/
add_action( 'wp', 'bbloomer_storefront_remove_title_from_home_homepage_template' );
function bbloomer_storefront_remove_title_from_home_homepage_template() {
remove_action( 'storefront_homepage', 'storefront_homepage_header', 10 );
}
PHP Snippet 2: Remove Homepage Title @ Storefront (“Default” Page Template)
/**
* @snippet Hide Homepage Title - Storefront Default Page Template
* @how-to businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-customization
* @author Rodolfo Melogli, Business Bloomer
* @compatible WooCommerce 6
* @community https://businessbloomer.com/club/
*/
add_action( 'wp', 'bbloomer_storefront_remove_title_from_home_default_template' );
function bbloomer_storefront_remove_title_from_home_default_template() {
if ( is_front_page() ) remove_action( 'storefront_page', 'storefront_page_header', 10 );
}
After removing the title on Storefront it leaves a massive space afterwards. Do you have a suitable code to remove this spacing? Thank you 🙂
Hey Liz, a simple CSS call would do it. Do you have an URL I can take a look?
Hi, it worked but it left a gap, how do remove the spacing between the slider and the Shop Categories?
With a little CSS
Hi there,
Didn’t work either snippet. Using Storefront version 2.5.3. Any further guidelines? Many thanks.
Which homepage page template do you use?
snippet 1 worked for me by editing Theme Customisations functions.php (https://github.com/woocommerce/theme-customisations) rather than the Storefront child theme Boutique as it recommends to do this.
Many thanks.
Ok
does not work. I tried both snippets with storefront 2.5.0 on WordPress 5.2.1
Using Gutenberg on that page?
I am having the problem that it is showing, I am using Gutenberg on that page
Not sure Elroy, it works on my own homepage
Will this only work if you have the storefront theme as the default theme? I am using storefront as a child theme and these snippets didnt work for me. 🙁
Hey Nadia, thanks for your comment! Will work for Storefront child theme too, as long as there is not other conflicting code in it 🙂
It works — thanks! =)
It works — thanks!
Excellent 🙂
it doesnt work
Hello there, thanks for your comment 🙂 It works even on this website, so this is weird. What snippet version did you try?
