XF 2.2 Removing the board name from our homepage

[Graham Smith]

Our board name is well advertised in our header logo, so there's no need to show it on our homepage.

I looked on this forum and found an old post which said put this in extra.less

.p-title {
display: none;
}

However, on our forum pages, it also removed these icons


Is there another solution?

 

[Brogan]

.p-title h1
{
    visibility: hidden;
}

Using that instead of display: none ensures the buttons remain in the same location.

I was able to use this option Hide Board title on one forum, but I could not do it with another forum, until I found the solution in this thread and applied it to the second forum. It worked.

Does this change your google results or remove the title from google search results?

thanks

Google typically still does display and use text on a page that is visibility:hidden and/or display:none in their search results. This isn't guaranteed but the use of css options to hide text does not block that same text from inclusion in search results and SEO factoring as far as Google is concerned.

I would not do it in case it is considered cloaking. You are hiding something Google sees from actual visitors.
