Category page description + "read more"

Try this function for the paged archives:

add_action( 'wp', function() {
    if ( is_paged() ) {
        remove_action( 'generate_archive_title', 'generate_archive_title' );
    }
} );

You can change the read more text in Customize > Layout > Blog.

Let me know if you need more info :)

Apologies... but should I add that in the functions.php file? Or can I do that somewhere in the theme (making sure it remains after theme updates)?

Perhaps a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/

Hi there,

the Code Snippets plugin is the easiest way.
The alternative requires a Child Theme.

Great - thanks David

Glad we could be of help

Hi again David,
I hope all is well.

I have a follow-up question on the category page:
Currently I have set the Excerpt word count to 56, which on my site http://www.blojfri.se/pottrana is just fine.

But for my new site http://www.sauberwerden.de/sauberwerden, I have a different set-up on the category pages. I would still like the the excerpt word count to be 56. But I would prefer if the excerpt did not start from the top of the page.

If you go to one of the category pages you will see that I always start the page with the following text: Hilfeartikel für diejenigen, die Sauber! Hand in Hand weg von der Windel befolgen.

This means that that text is also always first in the excerpt.

Is there a way to make the excerpt start a bit in on the text?

I'm thinking either
- "hard-coding" excerpt (but that sounds difficult and tedious) or
- Somehow "hiding" the first sentence or two on page (so that the excerpt function does not see it).

Regards

Michael

Any chance you can open a new topic for the separate question?

Thanks!
