I want to be able to change the Page Title to something else instead of "Larmbolag arkiv -" for : hidden link

I have a custom archive page as well but for some reason I seem unable to get a proper solution going.

category-larmbolag.php contents:

---

<?php
/**
* The template for displaying Archive pages.
*
* @package GeneratePress
*/

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
exit; // Exit if accessed directly.
}

get_header(); ?>

<div id="primary" <?php generate_do_element_classes( 'content' ); ?>>
<main id="main" <?php generate_do_element_classes( 'main' ); ?>>
<?php
/**
* generate_before_main_content hook.
*
* @since 0.1
*/
do_action( 'generate_before_main_content' );

if ( generate_has_default_loop() ) {
if ( have_posts() ) :

/**
* generate_archive_title hook.
*
* @since 0.1
*
* @hooked generate_archive_title - 10
*/
do_action( 'generate_archive_title' );

while ( have_posts() ) :

the_post();

generate_do_template_part( 'archive' );

endwhile;

/**
* generate_after_loop hook.
*
* @since 2.3
*/
do_action( 'generate_after_loop', 'archive' );

else :

generate_do_template_part( 'none' );

endif;
}

/**
* generate_after_main_content hook.
*
* @since 0.1
*/
do_action( 'generate_after_main_content' );
?>
</main>
</div>

<?php
/**
* generate_after_primary_content_area hook.
*
* @since 2.0
*/
do_action( 'generate_after_primary_content_area' );

generate_construct_sidebars();

get_footer();

Hi Stefan,

Thank you for getting in touch.
You can use this filter hook below to change the text "Larmbolag arkiv "

Add this hook to your toolset custom code settings in Toolset -> Settings -> Custom Code and ensure that it is active.

add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', function ( $title ) {

    if( is_category() ) {

        $title = single_cat_title('',false);

    }

    return $title;

});

Please try this and let me know if it helps.

Thanks,
Shane

Thanks Shane, I added this as a Custom Code and activated it. However, I don't understand where and how I then can change the Page Title for that category page?

Hi Stefan,

The line below defines the category title

        $title = single_cat_title('TEST',false);

This controls anything that is displayed before "Larmbolag - " Unless you are referring to my screenshot which is something completely different that the title on the page itself. In this case you can use the YOAST SEO plugin and go to Yoast -> Search Appearance and select taxonomy, from there you can modify the taxonomy title tag.

If its the title on the page itself you can add any text to the section where you see i've added the text "Test". This will appear before "Katalog över säkerhetsföretag".

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane

Thanks.

I am referring to the screenshot. I use Yoast but I can't change the individual page title for that page /larmbolag/ I can set a template for the posts within that category but not the category page itself.

Hi Stefan,

The only other way to individually set the title based on the current category is to use the code below.

function generate_custom_title($title) {
/* your code to generate the new title and assign the $title var to it... */
   if( is_category('Uncategorized') ) {

        $title = "cust title 1";

    }
  if(is_category('Sample')){
   $title = "Cust title 2";
  }

return $title;  
}
add_filter( 'pre_get_document_title', 'generate_custom_title', 10 );

Please note that you will need to set the titles individually for each category. Secondly you will replace 'Sample' and 'Uncategorized' with the slug of the category that you want to change the title for.

When adding this code ensure that after its added to the Toolset custom code section that you've activated it.

Thanks,
Shane

Still doesn't work.

Hi Stefan,

Would you mind allowing me to have admin access to the site so that I can check on this further for you ?

Based on what you've added it should work as the exact same code works on my end.

I've enabled the private fields for your next response.

Thanks,

Hi Stefan,

Thank you for the link.

I was under the impression that this was a taxonomy archive, given that it is a Post type archive you can change it here in Yoast.
hidden link

If you check the post type you can see that i've added a custom archive title "Larmbolag".

I've also verified that it works as well.

Thanks,
Shane
