I'm using Toolset with Astra Pro. On my custom post types Archives pages, the page header has the word "Archives:" and I'm trying to get rid of it. Can you help me do so?
When I go to the theme option on my custom Layouts and select "Archive Title" -> disable, nothing happens. The word "Archives:" persists.
Here's an example: hidden link
Thanks for any help!

Please disregard my last answer. I didn't know what I was talking about.
I am definitely having a problem with this - I did the same thing you did and I still have the word "Archives:.." on every archive page.

I tried but was unable to upload a copy of my site with Duplicator as per your instructions.
However I did make you an admin login to my site. Can you still help?

Hello,

In most theme, it is using wordpress function the_archive_title() to output the archive title, so you can use filter hook gettext to change the archive title as what you want, for example, add below codes into your theme file "functions.php":

add_filter('gettext', function($translated_text, $untranslated_text, $domain){
	if($untranslated_text == "Archives: %s" && $domain == 'default'){
		$translated_text = '%s';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}, 20, 3);
