[Resolved] Remove taxonomy name from page titles

[Author]

Hello,

The singular name taxonomy for my business directory listings is called "Directory Category". This text is displayed before the individual categories on each listings page. How can I remove the "Directory Category:" portion from the page title?

An example would be: Directory Category: Accommodations.

Cheers,

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

This additional label text in the titles of the archive pages is added by WordPress, by default.

To remove it, "get_the_archive_title" filter can be used:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_archive_title/

For example:

function custom_archive_archive_title($title) {
    if ( is_tax() || 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;
}
add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', 'custom_archive_archive_title');

The above code snippet can be included through either Toolset's custom code feature ( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/ ) or through the active theme's "functions.php" file.

As a result, the extra text label will be removed from the titles of category, tag, all custom taxonomies, and author archives.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
