Support Forum

Actually just re-reading this through the thread is just going round in circles with Ronen repeating himself and not really, I believe, listening to what we are saying - and Steve (Mr Papa) I suspect missing the point a bit.

So let's recap.

Simple:Press hides the page title via an option. This causes no problem for 99.9% of users - it is commonly done - but clearly the plugin being used here for menu creation goes it's own route instead of following WP routines and this fails to work as expected. For which, apparently, we get the blame.

So - I think there are three options open - unless you want to edit the actual SP code although I do not think that would make any difference if the menu plugin is expecting something we do not support. Or use the WP menu routines of course.

Option 1:
Put up wth the page title in this instance.

Option 2:
Follow Steve's suggestion - which is a good one by the way - and create a simple WP page template for just the forum to use and remove the WordPress call to the_title(). If this were done in a child theme then it is good from a maintenance point of view as well. Once done should remain safe.

Option 3:
For a quick, simple but 'dirty' way of solving the problem add a 'display none' to the Simple:Press theme CSS file. As in:

h1 .headline { display: none; }

which removes the page title. Of course this then means that you need to preserve this change through future SP updates so creating a custom theme for this would be sensible - but that is only a few minutes worth of work.

So - As you do not want 1 and do not seem to like 2 how about giving 3 a try?

I assure you Google and other search bots do not care about a display:none directive. The whole point of this rule is to remove items from the display. You will find a large number of display:none directives in SP, WP and probably your WP theme and plugins. It is a CSS rule NOT a directive that effects bots, SEO or anything else.
