Sharepoint 2013 - Remove [2] from webpart Title

Question

My Home page with all the webparts has a number in brackets after the webpart title.

How can I remove this?

Answer 1

Ok, I found a solution.

1. Stay at the page that you can see "XXX [Number]"

2. Click the "Page" button at the top-left corner

3. Click the "Edit Properties" button

4. Click the text(possibly blue) "Open Web Part Page in maintenance view"

5. Check the duplicate web parts you want to remove and click the "delete" button above.

(If you are NOT sure which are the web parts you want to keep, please delete them all and re-add the web parts you need. Otherwise, you might end up with some white space on the web part page.)

Answer 2

The number gets added because you have multiple web parts configured with the same title. You need some change on the webpart's title to make the [2] disappear.

Alternatively, you might want to hide the webpart's title. Edit your webpart, expand the "Appearance" section, and select the option "None" on the "Chrome type" dropdown.

Answer 3

This was driving me nuts too. Follow the steps here for the steps to delete it through the webpart maintenance page:

Answer 4

Add a space after the title, this way you can use the same title for multiple webparts.

Answer 5

Of course you should delete the "extra" duplicate web parts using the same title if they aren't visible on the page. But it's not unusual to want the same title showing for different web parts. In that scenario, a simple fix is to add a space after the title in the Appearance section of the duplicate web part's properties. If there are multiple web parts with the same title, just add more spaces. SP will treat the titles as unique.
