## Beschrijving

The [Remove Widget Titles](http://scratch99.com/products/remove-widget-titles/) 
plugin removes the title from any widget that has a title starting with the “!” 
character.

#### Why Use It?

This allows you to give widgets a title in the backend for convenience – so you 
can quickly see which widget is which, rather than having to open them to work out
what they are for – without having to show the title on the front end.

#### How To Use (once plugin is installed)

If you have a widget for which you do not want the title to appear on the front 
end of your site, simply add the “!” character to the start of the widget title (
in Appearance -> Widgets).

#### Compatibility

 * This plugin requires WordPress 2.6 or above.
 * I am not currently aware of any compatibility issues with any other WordPress
   plugins.

#### Similar Plugins

There is another plugin called [Hide Widget Title](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/hide-widget-title/),
but that leaves the widget title in the page source and hides it using CSS (adding
another http request which slows load time slightly). Remove Widget Titles actually
removes the widget title from the HTML. The plugin is only 7 lines of code, so it
is extremely light and has minimal impact on performance.

#### Support

This plugin is officially not supported (due to my time constraints), but if you
leave a comment on the plugin’s home page or [contact me](http://www.scratch99.com/contact/),
I’ll try to help if I can.

This not only allowed me to label custom html widgets, but also removed default 
widget titles from displaying on my page that I had no option to omit before. Works
like a charm! Thank you so much!!

Brilliant and simple. Absolutely should be in Core. Little tip – your title just
needs to start with “!”, you can have a space after the “!”. i.e. “! Hello World”,
which I think is nicer and easier to read than “!Hello World”.

It just works! And I agree with other commenters that it should be in WP core. Thank
you for this needed plugin.
