How to remove the word ‘Archive’ from Category, Tag and Custom post type title
If you would like to remove the “label” of the “Category:”, “Tag:”, “Author:”, “Archives:”, “Date:”, “Post Format:” and “Other taxonomy name:” in the archive title, follow the steps.
If you look at the source code of get_the_archive_title(), you will see that there is a filter supplied, called get_the_archive_title, through which you can filter the output from the function.
Access function.php file via FTP or WordPress dashboard and paste the following code
- Connect & Establish FTP connection with your WordPress.
- Navigate to wp-content > themes > Your Current Theme. > functions.php
OR
- Login to wp-admin > Appearance > Edit Theme
- Select functions.php
Remove ‘Archive’ from Category, Tag, Author, and Archives:
// get rid of the “Category:”, “Tag:”, “Author:”, “Archives:” and “Other taxonomy name:”
function my_theme_archive_title( $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>';
} elseif ( is_post_type_archive() ) {
$title = post_type_archive_title( '', false );
} elseif ( is_tax() ) {
$title = single_term_title( '', false );
}
return $title;
}
add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', 'my_theme_archive_title' );
Remove ‘Archive’ from Custom Post type Title:
If you are building a custom archive template for a Custom Post Type(CPT), and want to output just the title of the CPT with no extra word like “Archive” use following function instead:
echo post_type_archive_title( '', false );
You can add this as a elseif condition in the previous code block,
...
elseif ( is_post_type_archive() ) {
$title = post_type_archive_title( '', false );
}
...
Change Day, Month, Year Archive Title:
...
elseif ( is_year() ) {
$title = get_the_date( _x( 'Y', 'yearly archives date format' ) );
} elseif ( is_month() ) {
$title = get_the_date( _x( 'F Y', 'monthly archives date format' ) );
} elseif ( is_day() ) {
$title = get_the_date( _x( 'F j, Y', 'daily archives date format' ) );
}
...
Change Archive Title for each Post Format:
...
elseif ( is_tax( 'post_format' ) ) {
if ( is_tax( 'post_format', 'post-format-aside' ) ) {
$title = _x( 'Asides', 'post format archive title' );
} elseif ( is_tax( 'post_format', 'post-format-gallery' ) ) {
$title = _x( 'Galleries', 'post format archive title' );
} elseif ( is_tax( 'post_format', 'post-format-image' ) ) {
$title = _x( 'Images', 'post format archive title' );
} elseif ( is_tax( 'post_format', 'post-format-video' ) ) {
$title = _x( 'Videos', 'post format archive title' );
} elseif ( is_tax( 'post_format', 'post-format-quote' ) ) {
$title = _x( 'Quotes', 'post format archive title' );
} elseif ( is_tax( 'post_format', 'post-format-link' ) ) {
$title = _x( 'Links', 'post format archive title' );
} elseif ( is_tax( 'post_format', 'post-format-status' ) ) {
$title = _x( 'Statuses', 'post format archive title' );
} elseif ( is_tax( 'post_format', 'post-format-audio' ) ) {
$title = _x( 'Audio', 'post format archive title' );
} elseif ( is_tax( 'post_format', 'post-format-chat' ) ) {
$title = _x( 'Chats', 'post format archive title' );
}
}
...
