Remove “Tag Archives:” Display only tag name

Hi Sascha

Quick question: On which page is this visible? Let me know

Hi Sascha

The Tag Archives: part of the heading tag there is no way to remove that part only without removing the entire title.

To change this you’ll need to create a child theme. If you need help with the style.css of your child theme here is an example that will work right away:

/*
 Theme Name:     Vantage Child
 Author:         SiteOrigin
 Template:       vantage
 Version:        1.0.0
*/
@import url("../vantage/style.css");

Then within your child theme create a functions.php file and insert the following:

<?php
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">' . 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( __( 'My 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);
}

And edit the titles above as required.

Here is the child theme, all ready to go: https://siteorigin.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/vantage-child-archives-title.zip. Just install via Appearance > Themes > Add New: Upload Theme, then edit functions.php via Appearance > Editor.

NOTE:
when you install this or any child theme you’ll need to redo Appearance > Customize and Appearance > Menu settings as they will get lost.

To make it more clearer, you need to::

1. Create a child theme: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes.
2. Into that child theme goes a style.css which I’ve pasted the code for above.
3. Into that child theme goes a functions.php file which I’ve pasted the code for above.
4. ZIP your child theme once complete and upload via Appearance > Themes > Add New.
5. Activate your child theme.
6. You will then lose your settings under Appearance > Customize. You need to redo those settings.

Hope that helps.
