Archive title is missing from Category Blog Page

[swilkins]

I followed the instructions on How to Create a Category Blog Page
http://my.studiopress.com/tutorials/category-blog-page/

However now the archive-title is missing from the category.

How do I get the archive-title to show up?

Hi, my name is Jan Hoek. Sure, they all say I have a big head, but I like to think it’s way too small for all my ideas.

Hmm. I'm not sure but this may have something to do with your child theme perhaps not displaying page titles. However, using the blog page template isn't something that is highly recommended. Here's a good post on why:

Don’t use the Genesis Blog Page Template

If you're trying to create a page that includes posts from a certain blog category, you should use a custom page template.

Edit your every category and you'll get "Category Archive Settings" section . Add the Archive Headline & Archive Intro Text and you will get the title with category description.

Thanks Ren for your reply. I read Bill's post but really didn't understand it. Theme is LifestylePro. If this was an issue, why would StudioPress show as a tutorial?

Until I can figure out how to have the archive-title show up on my Category Page, I just dragged the Category into the menu. The archive-title shows up fine there, but the client wants the url to be what would show up using the Category Blog Page.

I do have content in the Category Archive Settings. Still the archive-title for the category page is missing.

hi there,

i am having the same problem - using the genesis sample theme [current version]

i have a Category called 'news' and added in an ARCHIVE TITLE and ARCHIVE DESCRIPTION --- however if i add the Category to the menu and view it - there is no title or description showing.

now I do have this code in my functions.php to remove page titles -- but that should only apply to pages I assume, not categories

-------------------------------------------------------

//* Remove page title for a specific page (requires HTML5 theme support)
add_action( 'get_header', 'child_remove_page_titles' );
function child_remove_page_titles() {
if ( is_page( )) {
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_do_post_title' );
}
}

----------------------------------------------

any idea how to fix this please?

thanks

Phil
