    Hi, I use the columnist theme and I am wondering if it is possible to remove “Category Archives” appearing on the left side when clicking a category menu. I would like to make sure that this is possible by editing CSS before purchasing the customization module.
    Thank you for your help.

    You cannot replace “category archives” with the category name. To do that would require editing of the theme PHP script files, and we cannot do that here at WordPress.com.

    You can remove it from the Category Archive pages with the following CSS though.

    .category .single-title h1 {
    display: none;
}

    You can also increase the size of the “Archive for: Featured” line in the left sidebar and add the word “Category” after the category title with the following. With short category names, the name may end up on the same line as the “Archive for:” text and then the word “Category” on the second line.

    .category .single-description {
font-size: 180% !important;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 120%;
}
.category .single-description:after {
content: " Category";
}

    You can try the above out to see out it looks with the theme customization feature.
