Where to remove “Archive:” text from archives page

Check your widgets to see if you have the Archives widget added. If so you can either remove it or fill in the title field to a desirable name.

I don’t have that Widget in place.

Here’s the page in Q: https://www.tradestraining.online/courses/
The big orange bar Archives: I need the bar and ‘Courses’ to remain. But ‘Archives:’ to go away.

Hello @cashlin

To solve the following issue yo need to create and activate child theme.

Child theme reference:
Child Theme
Child Theme

Or you can simply create the child theme using Plugin

Child Theme generator

After successfully creating and activating child theme, in your child theme’s functions.php file please add the below code.

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

    if ( is_category() ) {

            $title = single_cat_title( '', false );

        } elseif ( is_tag() ) {

            $title = single_tag_title( '', false );

        } elseif ( is_author() ) {

            $title = '<span class="vcard">' . get_the_author() . '</span>' ;

        }

    return $title;

});

I hope this will resolve your issue.

If you any confusion while achieving this result please let us know.

Best Regards!!

Thanks for responding. I appreciate it.

I am using a child theme and put your code in, but ‘Archives’ is still persisting.

Here’s my child theme functions file code:

<?php
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
    $parent_style = 'parent-style'; 
    wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
        get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
        array( $parent_style ),
        wp_get_theme()->get('Version')
    );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );

add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', function ($title) {
    if ( is_category() ) {
            $title = single_cat_title( '', false );
        } elseif ( is_tag() ) {
            $title = single_tag_title( '', false );
        } elseif ( is_author() ) {
            $title = '<span class="vcard">' . get_the_author() . '</span>' ;
        }
    return $title;
});

?>

I am using LearnPress. Would that require a different code for the functions logic?

Hello,

You can try replacing the specific words from the title via the function below to see if it works for the LearnPress Archive title :

add_filter('get_the_archive_title', function ($title) {
    return preg_replace('Archives: ', '', $title);
});

Hope this Helps,

Best Regards !!

Thanks again! I tried the filter you listed and it didn’t do anything… so I modified it and it worked:

add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', function( $title ) { 
  return 'Courses'; 
});

I appreciate your responses. This thread’s good to go.
