  Hello,

  I would like to know if it would be possible to hide the word CATEGORY in front of the actual category, i.e. ‘ART’.
  So that the Title of the page becomes ART instead of the current one which is CATEGORY: ART

  Thank you,
  Clementina

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We wordpress.com bloggers do not have access to the template files underlying our themes on wordpress.COM hosted blogs and cannot edit them. This is a multiuser blogging platform. All blogs wearing the same theme use the same underlying template found on the live demo site for each theme.

  Does Customize let me edit HTML?
  No. Customize allows you to edit fonts, colors, and CSS only. You can change the appearance of a theme, but not its HTML markup or PHP code. If you require this functionality, please consider moving your blog to a web host that supports theme code modifications. You can read more about why here http://support.wordpress.com/code/, and find a suitable host here http://get.wp.com/hosting/.

  See here for details on purchasing an annually renewable upgrade https://wordpress.com/pricing/ that contains a custom design upgrade required for CSS editing:

  Note 1: Once you have the required upgrade you can use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can create a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need with CSS editing.

  Note 2: You can also post there prior to purchasing an upgrade to get an answer to whether or not what you want to do can be accomplished via CSS editing.

  Hi @federicomarchetti, it looks like you actually have a business upgrade already.

  I noticed with this theme, the category prefix is kind of stuck there, ccording to the theme author:
  https://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/topic/is-there-a-way-to-remove-the-category-heading-at-the-top-of-the-page?replies=2

  But if you don’t have too many categories, you could get a bit fancy with your CSS and do it anyway. I’ll move this thread to the CSS forum with my suggestion.

  Okay, this is a bit hacky, but it seems to work. Give it a shot and let me know what you think:

  /* hide the category title */
  .archive-title span { display: none !important; }
  
  /* style the new category text we'll put in */
  .archive-title::after {
  	background-color: white;
  	padding: 0 .5em;
  }
  
  /* put a category title back in as you like...
  create one for each category */
  .category-friends .archive-title::after {
   content: "Friends";
  }

  Note with that last bit, you’ll need to copy and paste and modify it once for each of your categories.

  I hope that helps.
