How to change the page title of "categories" pages?

If you open this page http://www.wittymag.com/bizarre-news-stories/bizarre-stories/ and read the page title it is saying "Category archives: Bizarre Stories"

I want to change it to only "Bizarre Stories".

Can anyone please tell me how to change it?

 

Are you using the SEO plugin for Wordpress? I believe it has options where you can change your category Title?

 

Yes, I am using SEO plugin for wordpress by Yoast.

It has option but I don't understand what to place in the category field to remove the text "Category Archives" text.

Have you used this plugin?

 

Use all in one seo pack plugin and click on setting once you have installed it...you will find different variation in category titles over there...hope it will work !!

 

No, I want to use this SEO plugin by Yoast, it has more useful options than All In One SEO.

 

If you are using wordpress search for a plugin.. All In One SEO is also good but are others better ..

 

Your wordpress theme should have a file called "category.php"
Open it in a text editor (like wordpad or notepad) and look for the <title></title> tag.
Remove the text "Category Archives:" within it, save and reupload the file overwriting the existing one.

Hope that helps

 

Digitech is correct, however as most Wordpress themes have a separate header.php file it is not always possible to change the category title tag in this way. If your theme has a separate header.php file, open it and add this code:

<title>
<?php if (is_category()) : ?>
<?php wp_title(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</title>

Code (markup):

This will just put the raw category title in the title tag.

Hope this helps

 

I think that's the best way of doing it, I would do it like that too..
