How can I remove hometitle ?

[suhasghorp]

Hello, I have title specified in my hugo.toml file. I do not want the bigger hometitle to show on the home page. I tried setting it to empty like below but it didn't work. Any idea how to get rid of hometitle? Thanks

title = "my blog title"
[params]
hometitle = ""

empty string is effectively not populated at all, that yields title.
As an option, you can use one space

[Params]
  homeTitle = " "

The title will not be shown, but it looks incomplete.

If you do not want to show the title on the homepage, I would recommend to modify the file header.html around here

            <div class="{{ .Type }}-heading">
              {{ if eq .Type "list" }}
                <h1>{{ if .Data.Singular }}#{{ end }}{{ .Title }}</h1>
              {{ else }}
                <h1>{{ with $title }}{{.}}{{ else }}<br/>{{ end }}</h1>
              {{ end }}
              {{ if ne .Type "post" }}
                <hr class="small">
              {{ end }}

this way

                {{ if not .IsHome }}
                  <h1>{{ with $title }}{{.}}{{ else }}<br/>{{ end }}</h1>
                {{ end}}

The title will be not be rendered on home page only.
