Hello. I am a beginner on sharepoint, given the task of creating a very simple sharepoint site for file and information distribution.
The front page is your standard wiki page, residing within the “site pages” folder. The page itself shows the title of the page, literally called “home page” in norwegian (Hjemmeside). It kind of messes up the design.
How can I remove this?

You want to append that to your site collection base URL. Try replacing “/SitePages/Hjemmeside.aspx” with “/_layouts/15/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx”. So you might have:
for host-named site collections:
http://oursp.hr.mycompany.com/_layouts/15/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx
for path-based site collections:
http://oursp.mycompany.com/sites/hr/_layouts/15/ChangeSiteMasterPag…
Thank you for a nice reply. This seems promising.
If it helps, the Site Feature “Wiki Page Home Page” is enabled. I don’t know any other way of creating a editable home page.
I have problems with it, though. When I paste “/_layouts/15/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx” after my site URL I get an error page saying “Sorry, something went wrong. An unexpected error has occured”.
However, when I access my home page, which has the URL mysite/SitePages/Hjemmeside.aspx”, and paste “/_layouts/15/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx” directly after this full URL, I get to the same home page, whereas there is now a “Publish”-tab after “Browse” and “Page” right on top of my page. I cannot see the “Alternate CSS URL”, though.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks. Espen.
I still can’t get it to work. The text is no longer printed, but replaced with a “script editor” when I edit the page. The page seems to understand the script, but it doesn’t do anything.
I have downloaded jquery-1.8.2.js and uploaded it to site assets. What part of your script should I change? Should I include “/sites/” in my reference to jquery?
Should I change “#pageTitle” to reflect my specific page title?
Thanks again for your help.
put this inside script tag also add jquery reference.
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/sites/xyzsite/SiteAsstes/jquery-1.8.2.js”></script>
<script>
$(“#pageTitle”).children().children().children().find(‘a’).hide();
</script>
An alternative way to do this is by using search and Content Search Web Part. I’ve written a quick blog on how to do this. Basically you end up with a “landing page” that displays Wiki page content in a clean format. You can use search queries to display different pages depending on their tags/metadata. Don’t worry, it is easier than it sounds. Take a look here http://www.itgeekrambling.co.uk/sharepoint-content-search-web-part-display-templates-made-simple-wiki-pages/ and if you have any questions please post them here.
Hope this helps
