On an average page, we may want to display the page title. The home page is a special page of course. Let's prepare a custom template for it.
In the following steps, we'll set up a custom page template that will remove the page heading and bring in a custom template for our page contents. We'll equip the custom content template with the markup structure we need for the carousel and columns:
- In the main
themesfolder, find thetemplate-custom.phpfile. This is a sample page template that's easy for us to adapt. - Make a copy of it and rename it
page-home.phpas shown in the following screenshot:
- Open the new
page-home.phpfile in your editor and edit the opening comment, changing the template name toHomepage Template:/* Template Name: Homepage Template */
- Save the file.
- Now, back in your WordPress Dashboard, edit the page named Home. Change its page template to the newly created
Homepage Template.
- Update the page.
- There is no need to view the page in your browser yet as nothing will be different. Let's first make a change to the template.
- In your code editor, with
page-home.phpopen, find the following line of code:<?php get_template_part('templates/page', 'header'), ?> - This is the first of two lines of PHP. This first line pulls in the page title. (The template for this is found in the
page-header.phpfile inside thetemplatesfolder.) Thus, we can remove the page title by simply removing the first line or commenting it out. Here I've used a single-line comment to comment out the call for the page header as follows:<?php // get_template_part('templates/page', 'header'), ?> <?php get_template_part('templates/content', 'page'), ?> - Save the file. View and refresh the Home page in your browser. You should see the page title disappear as shown in the following screenshot:
That's a start! Now to free our carousel from its bounding container element.
