[Resolved] Hide title from category

[Daniele]

Hi, how can I hide the SEO title from a category?

Thank you,
Daniele

Hi Daniele,

For reference, can you provide the link to the site in question?

You may use the Private Information field for this: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-the-premium-support-forum/#private-information

I would like to hide the title at the top, the one above the image. In articles it is possible to do this, but this is one category.

[David]

Hi there,

are you wanting to remove it just from that Category ? Or ALL categories ?

[Daniele]

Hi, only from that category 🙂

[David]

You can use this PHP Snippet to remove the title:

add_action('wp', function(){
    if ( is_category( 'your-category-slug' ); ) {
        remove_action( 'generate_after_archive_title', 'generate_do_archive_description' );
    }
});

You need to update the your-category-slug in the code to match the slug you want it applied to.

If in the future you want to apply it to multiple categories then you can change

if ( is_category( 'your-category-slug' ); ) {

to:

is_category( array( 'your-category-slug', 'another-category-slug', 'and-another-category-slug' ) );

[Daniele]

Sorry, I don’t understand where you should put it. Can you explain it better?

Thank you.

Hi, I installed the code snippets plugin and tried adding the code, with my category slug. But it doesn’t work, because it tells me that the code contains a syntax error!

This is the code I entered, where I put my category slug:

add_action(‘wp’, function(){
if ( is_category( ‘faq-spiritualita-esoterismo-crescita-personale’ ); ) {
remove_action( ‘generate_after_archive_title’, ‘generate_do_archive_description’ );
}
});

Thanks

[Ying]

Oh I can see the error, try to change it to:

add_action('wp', function(){
    if ( is_category( 'faq-spiritualita-esoterismo-crescita-personale' )) {
       remove_action( 'generate_after_archive_title', 'generate_do_archive_description' );
    }
});

Hi, this is inserted without problems, but I had to remove it because it doesn’t do what it is supposed to do, as it deletes the image under the title, and not the title itself!

What I want to delete, is the title text above the image 🙂 Is it possible to do this?

Thanks

[Daniele]

Also keep in mind, that that title is inserted by YOST SEO, and I don’t want to delete it, but just HIDE it.

[Ying]

Do you mean to hide not remove the title: Domande e Risposte su Dio, Spirito, IO ed Anima?

If so, you can simply use this CSS:

.category-faq-spiritualita-esoterismo-crescita-personale header.page-header {
    display: none;
}

[Daniele]

I had to remove this too, because in addition to the title, it removes all the page header! Ie also the image and description under the title .. I also tried replacing the word header with title, but it doesn’t work 🙁

Thanks

[Ying]

I see, try this instead:

.category-faq-spiritualita-esoterismo-crescita-personale .page-header h1.page-title {
    display: none;
}
