show category name in header title

Sure (credentials in PC) — I have those header titles hidden with css, for single post pages — they do work on Archive pages (e.g., https://www.waternewsnetwork.com/category/education/ or see screen grab https://www.evernote.com/shard/s320/sh/f56ed5ba-d7de-42b5-b9a9-fc766663abe6/51e8181ecd261d785ddcde3181c15aca ) — If I could just show “Category: Education” or just “Education” in that strip for all posts in the Education category, that’d be perfect.

Thanks and let me know if you have any other questions!

Just worked for me, but I have used these credentials for a few, recent tickets — maybe two of you were trying to log in at the same time…?

Nice, that’s a good step in the right direction! I added the h1 tag around it (see below), like the other, category header titles, so they look the same.

But there’s no way to show the other categories? Posts are so often in more than one category. Sorry to press on this, but if a user is browsing one category, clicks on a post, and then is taken to a page with a different category title, that’d be pretty confusing, I think.

Oh, also, this category just links to the home page — can we make it link to the archive page for that category?

Thanks again!

add_filter('avf_title_args', 'avf_title_args_mod_category', 10, 2);
function avf_title_args_mod_category($args, $id)
{
	$categories = get_the_terms(get_the_ID(), 'category');
	foreach($categories as $category) {
		$args['title'] = '<h1 class="main-title entry-title">'.$category->name.'</h1>';
	}

    return $args;
}

Ooh, yeah, that’s much better — that handles the title styling properly, too, so I don’t have to modify that. But it’s too tricky to get multiple categories to show? And if it can only show one, how is it choosing that one — it doesn’t seem to be choosing the Primary Category — do you know how it chooses which category to use as the title?

Thanks!

OK, thanks. We do have the Yoast plugin installed, but Integrating that code with what you gave me above is a little over my head, apparently (just tried it, to no avail). If you feel like showing me how that’d work, please do.. Otherwise, I’ll just hope my client can keep posts in just one category for now, and if not I’ll jump back into this.

Thanks again!
