Option to skip top-of page H1 link with site URL

[epogrebnyak]

By default the Premier theme adds an H1 link with site URL on top of page. I believe the code below is responsible for this behaviour:

      {% if site.title and site.title != page.title %}
      <h1><a href="{{ "/" | absolute_url }}">{{ site.title }}</a></h1>
      {% endif %}

I would like to find out how can top-of page link can be switched off.

My initial idea is forking a repo and deleting the code above from template. I would like to learn how can add and extra custom variable in _config.yaml to make H1 with URL disappear.

I think the code will look like:

      {% if must_show and (if site.title and site.title != page.title %)}
      <h1><a href="{{ "/" | absolute_url }}">{{ site.title }}</a></h1>
      {% endif %}

My qustion is how can I introduce must_show or similar in _config.yaml

I believe this was discussed in #21.

According to this comment, the initial title heading is removed if you specify the following in _config.yml:

name: Site name that appears as HTML “title”
title: null

@seshrs thanks for the info - I think I just created a duplicate.

However - will title: null shut the display of title in <title> tag? I cannot find where it is generated.

You're right, adding title: null alone makes the <title> tag not render. But if you add a name: My Page Title in _config.yml in addition, the <title> tag renders. (I just tried this on one of my sites, and the <title> tag renders as expected.)

Do you know which part of the layout is responsible for this in the repo? Сould not code responsible for <title> tag

[seshrs]

@epogrebnyak like you mentioned, the <title> tag is generated by the jekyll-seo-tag plugin. Here's the code that uses the name if no title is provided in _config.yml: https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-seo-tag/blob/933b914ab27601ca29615489f0343c4417bb146a/lib/jekyll-seo-tag/drop.rb#L33-L35

Maybe make a PR for README.md that has advice about avoiding the top header?
