 * Hi Azher22002,
 * thanks for contacting me. I just tested it and the setting works fine on my website.
   Is it possible that your name-directory and the page have the same name and that
   you see the page title?
 * If you think this is not the case, would you please share your URL with me? In
   the sourcecode of the page with your directory, it’s easy for me to see if it’s
   the plugin rendering the title or something else.
 * I don’t really understand your second question because it’s not specific. Do 
   you mean that you want to use an URL in the **description**? That is possible!
   You can use HTML in the description, so `<a href='https://www.hanzebloem.nl'>
   HanzeBloem</a>` will produce a link. Is that what you mean?
 * Please let me know 🙂
 * Kind regards,

 * Hi Jeroen,
 * Thank you for replying.
 * Its not the page name title its the title of the actual listing in the A-Z, there
   is some confusion so let me explain further.
 * Basically, when you go to the dashboard in WP, go to the plugin under settings
   >name directory>Settings
 * When I click NO to ‘Show title’, it still appears. I only want to show description.
 * Below is part snapshot of the settings, as I cant add an attachment.
    ——————————————————
   Show title Yes No Show description Yes No Submit form Yes No ———————————————————-
 * So when a add a new name, the title field is still there, asking me to enter 
   a title name, when i have disabled it.
 * I dont want ‘Show title’ to appear but disabled as per settings, so i assumed
   this is a bug if it does not respond to settings.
 * Here is the link
    [http://meccaevents.com/a-z-directory/?name_directory_startswith=A](http://meccaevents.com/a-z-directory/?name_directory_startswith=A)
 * Do you want access to me WP site, if so I can email it privately.
 * I hope this helps:)
 * Kind regards
    Az

 * Hi azher22002,
 * talking about confusion: which title do you think will not be displayed?
 * Reading _“So when a add a new name, the title field is still there, asking me
   to enter a title name, when i have disabled it.”_ I think you might be under 
   the impression that the **name** will not be displayed.
 * You are editing the settings of the _directory_ here, so the title of the _directory_
   will not be displayed. The title of your directory isn’t displaying on your website,
   so it’s responding to the settings just fine.
 * Am I right that on your page you want to hide `Apple`, `Asking name, I dont want
   to`? If so, there still is a way to accomplish that.
 * The directory renders classes on a lot of elements. You can use the following
   CSS if you want to:
 *     ```
       <style>
       .name_directory_name_box strong,
       .name_directory_name_box br {
           display: none;
       }
       </style>
       ```
   
 * Let me know if this clarifies and fixes things for you.
 * Kind regards,
 * Jeroen Peters

 * Hi Jeroen,
    Thanks for your reply. Yes, this is right as you say’ Am I right 
   that on your page you want to hide Apple, Asking name, I dont want to? If so,
   there still is a way to accomplish that’ Your CSS appears to work fine and in
   essence is a good solution as anyone editing the A-Z can still see the title 
   privately so they know what to edit, but it now shows the description publicly
   as desired. Result! Can I ask, any way I can make the letters A-Z bigger within
   the plugin, not using WP so its easier to click on mobile friendly view as they
   are too small for the fingers on a phone device Az

 * Hi Az,
 * making this smaller and bigger also has to be done with CSS. In the Frequently
   Asked Questions on [https://wordpress.org/plugins/name-directory/faq/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/name-directory/faq/)
   I listed a few of the elements you can style. I think for you `.name_directory_index`
   is enough to play with 🙂
 * I hope this works for you. If you like the plugin and the support, would you 
   please consider writing a review?

 * Hi
 * Thanks again, I do see the FAQ for .name_dirtectory_index, but a little lost 
   how i would increase the font sizes and/or as option to bolder them, so they 
   are easier to click on a mobile phone.
 * Also, the part where it says ‘There are 4 names in this directory beginning with
   the letter A.’ can i remove this statement that appears under the index, if so
   how?
 * have left a review:))
 * Thanks
    Az

 * Hi Az,
 * first of all, thank you for writing a review.
 * Are you familiair with CSS? With simple style rules you can make things bigger
   or smaller. For example with `<style>.name_directory_index a { font-size: 120%;}
   </style>` you can make it bigger.
 * Making things bigger on mobile devices requires you to use media queries to target
   certain devices. As I’m not a CSS teacher (certainly not on media queries), you
   can use the following links for more information:
    Little tutorial and explaination:
   [http://webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/responsive-design-with-css3-media-queries](http://webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/responsive-design-with-css3-media-queries)
   Generate CSS with media queries: [http://giona.net/tools/css3-mediaquery-generator/](http://giona.net/tools/css3-mediaquery-generator/)
 * I hope you can manage with this 🙂

 * Hi Jeroen,
 * Thanks for the email and tips with CSS, I am new to it.
 * i think you forgot to cover how I do i remove the statment just under the index
   that tells you how many items under that letter
 * for example,’There are 4 names in this directory beginning with the letter A.’
   can i remove this statement , if so how?
 * thanks
    az

 * Hi Az,
 * I did forget to tell you how to exactly do that, yes. However, this is one is
   also written down in the css-class list at the FAQ and just as easy to accomplish.
   It’s CSS class name is `name_directory_total`.
 * At this point, I think it would be wise to follow some CSS tutorials.
 * Hope you can manage with this 🙂

 * Hi Az,
 * it’s just the same as before, hide it with display:none 😉
 *     ```
       <style>
       .name_directory_total {
           display: none;
       }
       </style>
       ```
   
 * I really can’t stress enough that if you want to proceed in this business, you
   should really take some tutorials. This page also does a good job I think: [https://themezee.com/docs/css-hide-certain-elements/](https://themezee.com/docs/css-hide-certain-elements/),
   it’s a short page 🙂
 * Hope the above works for you!

 * Hi Az,
 * I understand too, but you’re practically asking me to be your CSS/website teacher.
   This plugin and the support are free of charge. I do like to help people, but
   as far as free goes, this is touching boundaries. Please just Google with the
   right terms (css change text size). If you want me to help you customize the 
   look and feel completely, please consider a donation.

 * Hi Jeroen,
 * I agree and understand, but I am glad you gave an option. That is a great idea,
   if i say what i want you to help me with regarding this plugin can you tell me
   the donation amount you like, as I am just too busy as a family guy to spend 
   time working on it to be honest.
 * Kind regards
    Az
