How do I get rid of Default title field?

[OCMike]

Hopefully someone can help me out here. I have a lot of products that show a blank default title field on our site. It doesn't show up on all products, so I don't know what piece of code I need to change. I'm adding a screenshot of one of our product pages. Thanks in advance for any help.

It will be because you have it set up as a variant when it doesn't have any variants. Does that make sense or do you need more info?

[OCMike]

Ok. How do I disable that? I don't have the variant box checked on any of them. 

[KetanKumar]

1. Go to Online Store->Theme->Edit code
2. Asset->/styles.scss.liquid->paste bellow code in bottom of file

.product-details h2.hide {
display: block;
}

[OCMike]

That did not fix the issue 😞 

[KetanKumar]

what do you want exactly? can you please share details or screenshot do you have like.

I need that field just below the price to be deleted. The one that says title, and Default

Here's what it should look like:

@OCMike Hiding it via CSS, will only work if you don't have variants on any of your products?

Your best bet, if some products do have variants is probably to do an export of all you products into CSV. Open it in Google Sheets (not Excel). Hopefully seeing it that way you will be able to see what to delete. Then when done upload the file back to Shopify.

If your happy to just hide it because none of your products have variants then add this at the bottom of your theme.sccs.liquid file:

.product-variants {
display: none;
}

But like I say, cleaning up your data via the CSV route is a better/more future proof option.

[OCMike]

@JonWright Thanks. I'll look at going that route, since I have 1 product that has variants. 

[JonWright · Accepted solution]

OK. I had the same problem ages ago and went down the CSV route. I can't remember exactly which field it is that you need to edit, I think it was called "Option 1 Value" . But I remember it being fairly obvious to work out (by comparing products that were right with products that were wrong). If you're struggling then DM me a link to your Google sheet and that will help me remember how I did it.

[OCMike]

@JonWright I got it figured out. Thanks! The bulk edit in Google sheets is a bit tougher, as it is not carrying over my inventory from multiple locations. I discovered that if I go into each product and check the variant box, save, then uncheck it, that deletes the field. 

[JonWright]

Great. Glad you managed to fix it.

I have the same problem and is not going away

Hi Jon, I exported the products and see the fields:

Option1 Name

Option1 Value

I read they are mandatory fields and if I have a product without variants I should set the fields to

Option1 Name	Option1 Value
Title	Default Title

When I do that the 'Title' dropdown with 'Default Title' is displaying on my phone. When I adjust the text the from Title and Default Title it updates. Are there any ways to disable this field or set it to not populate?

Thanks!
