Change “Author Archives” headline text

By Tor André Sandum, 10 years ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 10 years ago.

The look and feel of my website is coming on great thanks to all your help. But I just got another problem. I am trying to change the “Author Archives:” headline text to something else, without changing the template-tags.php file in the original theme. Copying it over to the root of the child-theme or indeed in an “inc” folder in the child does not work. Neither does including it in the functions.php or adding this line

require_once( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/inc/template-tags.php' );

I am at a loss here, and have searched and searched without finding a solution to the problem.

    Hi Tor

    You’ll need to use a child theme to do this. Create a functions.php in your child theme and add the following:

    <?php

if( !function_exists( 'vantage_get_archive_title' ) ) :
/**
 * Return the archive title depending on which page is being displayed.
 * 
 * @since vantage 1.0
 */
function vantage_get_archive_title(){
	$title = '';
	if ( is_category() ) {
		$title = sprintf( __( 'My Category Archives: %s', 'vantage' ), '<span>‘ . single_cat_title( ”, false ) . ‘</span>‘ );

	}
	elseif ( is_tag() ) {
		$title = sprintf( __( ‘Tag Archives: %s’, ‘vantage’ ), ‘<span>‘ . single_tag_title( ”, false ) . ‘</span>‘ );

	}
	elseif ( is_author() ) {
		the_post();
		$title = sprintf( __( ‘Author Archives: %s’, ‘vantage’ ), ‘<span class="vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="' . esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( "ID" ) ) ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( get_the_author() ) . '" rel="me" rel="nofollow">‘ . get_the_author() . ‘</a></span>‘ );
		rewind_posts();

	}
	elseif ( is_day() ) {
		$title = sprintf( __( ‘Daily Archives: %s’, ‘vantage’ ), ‘<span>‘ . get_the_date() . ‘</span>‘ );

	}
	elseif ( is_month() ) {
		$title = sprintf( __( ‘Monthly Archives: %s’, ‘vantage’ ), ‘<span>‘ . get_the_date( ‘F Y’ ) . ‘</span>‘ );

	}
	elseif ( is_year() ) {
		$title = sprintf( __( ‘Yearly Archives: %s’, ‘vantage’ ), ‘<span>‘ . get_the_date( ‘Y’ ) . ‘</span>‘ );

	}
	else {
		$title = __( ‘Archives’, ‘vantage’ );
	}
	
	return apply_filters(‘vantage_archive_title’, $title);
}
endif;

    And edit as required. If you already have a functions.php file with contents in it then you don’t need the opening

    Thank you so much, that worked like a charm!

    Should probably be simple, but I could not find the answer anywhere! Well, now everything is good again!
