Rename “Category Archives”

Hi Marcel

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:

<?phpif( !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">' . 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);}endif;

And edit the titles above as required.

Hope that helps.

That’s unfortunately standard. What I usually do is open in one tab my Customizer from the parent theme, then activate the child theme in a new tab, open the Customizer and copy the settings across pane by pane.

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.

No problem.

So to confirm my advice previously about opening up your old Customizer in one tab and your new Customizer in another tab was just an easy way to manually copy your color settings etc. from the parent theme to the child theme. Hopefully that’s a little clearer now.

Super, glad we could help out.
