Add "title" in "archive" pages, like category or tag's lists

[DanielMT]

Hi,

I'm wondering if there's a way to display a page "title" when a "category" or "tag" archives are displayed. For example, take a look at this screenshot: https://www.evernote.com/l/AGx02-IiV59I_rv_53YFX-NADcHiyn3y7ow

This is what the user will see when clicking a post's tag. The same for a category. Is there a way to show such a title? For example: "Recipes from the category XXXXXXXX"

Just a snippet to add in the functions.php file.

Thanks in advance,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

that´s built-in functionality.

Go to Posts - Categories - Edit the category - Scroll down to Category Archive Settings
And enter an Archive Headline.

Click Update

Looks like this:

It's the same for Tags

Hi Christoph,

Thanks for the answer.
I know about that functionality, but I have more than a hundred tags and I don't want to edit one by one just to add that title. I'm looking for doing it with a simple snippet.

Thanks,
Daniel.

Hi Daniel,

that makes a lot of sense 🙂

Bill Erickson to the rescue:
(I just added the 'Recipies from the ' before the term name 😉 )
http://prntscr.com/bm6nns

/**
 * Default Titles for Term Archives
 *
 * @author Bill Erickson
 * @see http://www.billerickson.net/default-category-and-tag-titles
 *
 * @param string $headline
 * @param object $term
 * @return string $headline
 */
function ea_default_term_title( $value, $term_id, $meta_key, $single ) {
	if( ( is_category() || is_tag() || is_tax() ) && 'headline' == $meta_key && ! is_admin() ) {

		// Grab the current value, be sure to remove and re-add the hook to avoid infinite loops
		remove_action( 'get_term_metadata', 'ea_default_term_title', 10 );
		$value = get_term_meta( $term_id, 'headline', true );
		add_action( 'get_term_metadata', 'ea_default_term_title', 10, 4 );
		// Use term name if empty
		if( empty( $value ) ) {
			$term = get_term_by( 'term_taxonomy_id', $term_id );
			$value = 'Recipies from the ' . $term->name;
		}

	}
	return $value;
}
add_filter( 'get_term_metadata', 'ea_default_term_title', 10, 4 );

Thanks for your suggestion, but didn't work fine.

Finally, I've built this snippet and put it in a hook using Genesis Simple Hooks:

<?php

if (is_category()) {
    echo '<h1 class="entry-title" itemprop="headline">Recipes from the category "' . single_term_title("", false) . '"</h1>';
}

if (is_tag()) {
    echo '<h1 class="entry-title" itemprop="headline">Recipes tagged with "' . single_term_title("", false) . '"</h1>';
}

?>

Regards.
