[Resolved] Remove 'injection' of a archive title into my archive

[Henry]

This may or may not be a GP issue, but anyways here goes!

I am using the Pods Framework to create Custom Post Types and Taxonomy which works great with GP.

Within a Custom Taxonomy I made, which is called ‘US States’ GP or Pods injects the title of the Taxonomy within the <h1 class="page-title"> tag. If I manually change the title then the title or content that I insert is simply appended to the injected default title.

So, in other words, the bolded code below is the admin internal title given to this Custom Taxonomy and I’d like to hide it:

<header class="page-header">
<h1 class="page-title">
REMOVE THIS >>  US State:<<<< Cybersecurity Conferences in Alabama </h1>
<div class="taxonomy-description"><p>This is our directory for all IT Security, Events and Conferences that take place in the State of Alabama.</p>
</div>
</header>

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks!!!

In fact – update – it is a GeneratePress thing (I contacted Pods).

The question I should be asking is: “How do I adjust the filter since this is a Taxonomy archive”

Any ideas? Thanks!

[Henry]

I think the automatic title description (which is injected into the header tag) is from the_title() so I’d like to hide that injected bit and just allow the regular insertion of text via the backend – if that’s possible!

Thanks!

Hi there,

Can you give this a shot and let me know if this works for you?
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/layout-element-overview/#disable-element

Let me know 🙂

[Henry]

Thanks – I tried that but it seems that I am missing ‘disable elements’ > https://prnt.sc/njr3q6

Any idea how to fix?

Hi there,

make sure you have the Disable Elements module activated in Appearance > GeneratePress.

Thanks David.

It didn’t work.

I suspect the reason is that I am referring to custom taxonomy ‘archive’ listings that perhaps GP doesn’t pick up using Elements? Could that be the case? The simple solution I guess is to hide the title-tag html but I’d have to do that via the functions.php and identify the taxonomy ID I guess…

This code worked:

add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', 'my_theme_archive_title' );
/**
 * Remove archive labels.
 * 
 * @param  string $title Current archive title to be displayed.
 * @return string        Modified archive title to be displayed.
 */
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;
}

Do you see any harm using this? Thanks

That looks good to me 🙂
