Wordpress Hide Title on Certain Pages Using is_page()

Question

I am trying to remove the h1 title on my about page in my functions.php file.

Here is my code:

function remove_about_page_title()
{
    if (is_page('about')) {
        remove_action('storefront_page', 'storefront_page_header', 10);
    }
}
add_action('init', 'remove_about_page_title');

If I do a var dump on is_page('about') then I get false even though it is the about page.

If I change my add_action() function to run the remove_about_page_title() function from init to storefront_page then is_page() prints true but the remove_action function no longer works.

Is this due to being out of the scope chain?

Is there a way to remove the page header inside the functions.php file without CSS and #ids?

Answer 1

You have to use is_page('pageId') instead of is_page('about');
