Remove “Category Archive for” form title

Hi,
You can modify your Archive page title by using this function the_archive_title()

It seems your theme already modified the Archive-title because the default Archive-title format is :

Category: {Category Name}

But on your site, it’s already modified. So now if you want to edit this, you have multiple ways.
1. You can find your theme code where its already modified and customize it as per your need
2. You can add your own filter hook on the functions.php file
3. You can create a child theme and there you can modify your archive.php file.

Here is the 2nd solution

function wpfy_edit_archive_title($title,$original_title, $prefix){

    // Limit it only for category archive
    if(is_category){
        $title = sprintf(__('Category Archive for %1$s', 'textdomain'), $original_title);
    }

    return $title;
}
add_filter('get_the_archive_title','wpfy_edit_archive_title',10,3);

Thanks for all those options.

I’ve tried the first one (editing my theme’s archive.php).

However, although I managed to remove the rest of the unwanted text, the category names remain with quotation marks, as you can see here:

https://aniu.org.uy/en/documents/

I know nothing about php, but but his is how I modified it in order to remove the unwanted text:

<?php /* If this is a category archive */ if (is_category()) { ?>
<h1><?php _e(”) ?> ‘<?php single_cat_title(); ?>’ </h1>

I tried to remove the quotation marks that remain in the code, and the whole site stops working.

Any ideas?

Hello,
Please remove your code from archive.php, keep it as it was.
You just put the below code into your functions.php file.

function wpfy_edit_archive_title($title,$original_title, $prefix){

    // Limit it only for category archive
    if(is_category()){
        $title = sprintf(__('%1$s', 'textdomain'), $original_title);
    }

    return $title;
}
add_filter('get_the_archive_title','wpfy_edit_archive_title',10,3);

It’s working on my side. If still not working, let me know.

Regards

Thanks, but it didn’t work, as you can see here:

https://aniu.org.uy/en/news/

It started showing the “Archive for” text.

Any other idea?

Hi @sebastianhduy
That was working for me.
Did you remove your old code completely?
Did you put my given code on your active theme functions.php file?

Most importantly make sure the code is on very bottom of the funcitons.php file.

Here is another code you can try

add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', function ( $title ) {

    if( is_category() ) {

        $title = single_cat_title( '', false );

    }

    return $title;

});

This also worked for me, just tested

If still does not work, please send me your archive.php and category.php file

Regards

Hey, @wpfy

Yes, I did remove my old code as you told me.

No, I hadn’t included it at the bottom of the functions.php file, but now I did and it’s still the same: nothing changed.

I tried your new line of code and nothing changes.

Here are the files you requested:

Note: I guess you meant the functions.php and archive.php. I don’t know where’s the category.php file.

Thanks.

Hi @sebastianhduy
Just do these 2 steps.

1. Take a backup of your current archive.php file. And put the archive.php file I am just giving you
https://we.tl/t-nd3VvqIIVP

2. Put the below code in your functions.php file at very bottom

add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', function ( $title ) {

    if( is_category() ) {

        $title = single_cat_title( '', false );

    }

    return $title;

});

Awesome! It worked!

Thank you so much for your help! ??

Hi @sebastianhduy
That’s awesome!
Thanks
