I took over maintenance of a site using 7.x-3.1, and I've been trying for a coupe hours to figure how to do a couple simple things. My needs are to:

  1. Hide the title on all pages
  2. Show the breadcrumb on all second level pages (i.e. everything but the home page.

The problem is, disabling the title also disables the breadcrumb. If I disable the the title- either via the UI or in zone-content.tpl.php - The breadcrumb is also hidden. If I look in the page source, the markup is there, but it is covered over (I haven't figured out what the CSS is doing yet). Looking at it with developer tools, it looks like the region somehow covers over the breadcrumbs, even though the breadcrumbs div is before the content div in the zone template.

So, simple question - how/where can I manipulate the breadcrumb (usually something I'd do in a preprocess function) so that it is not displayed on the home page? I've treid what is suggested here by setting 

$vars['breadcrumb'] = '';

in a preprocess_page() hook, that doesn't work, and I'm not sure what else to try.

Thanks.
