titles of posts are on two lines

Add topic to favorites
is it possible to increase the space allocated for post titles, so that they fit all onto one line?

Have a look at some of my posts, and you’ll see how the titles are spread over two lines.

Thanks

Hi! Great domain name… :)

I took a look and I see what you mean for single posts like this one:
http://bushybeard.com/2013/09/05/zaheer-part-ii/

The short width for post titles is definitely a style choice made by the theme. You can undo it by adding the following CSS to your Appearance > Customize > CSS editor:
```
.single-post .entry-header {
	width: 100%;
}
```
Adjust the “100%” value as needed.

Also, is there a way to remove ‘category archives’ when browsing by category as seen here: http://bushybeard.com/category/music-arts/

I’d prefer it to simple have the name of the category.

Thanks

I’d also really like to get rid of the huge ‘category archives’ title. Nothing I have tried adding to the custom CSS works. Any bright ideas much appreciated!

It’s a bit of a hack, but it’s doable with a couple CSS rules. Here’s an example that’s made specifically for the Hatch theme:
```
.category .page-title {
	visibility: hidden;
}
.category .page-title span {
	visibility: visible;
	float: left;
}
.category .page-title span:before {
	content: "Cagegory: ";
}
```

Thanks designsimply, but this doesn’t work for me on the Grisaille theme. This is the first .com blog I’ve tinkered with after a year of .orgs so I’m finding the restrictions pretty frustrating!

Here’s an example of the overbearing “category archive” header I want to edit!

Thanks, that almost worked. If you take a look at my site, it still says ‘category’. I can live with it, but would love to get rid of the word ‘category’ and just have the name.: http://bushybeard.com/category/music-arts/

Thanks so far though!

Heh, I misread before.

Take out this part to remove the word “Category”
```
.category .page-title span:before {
	content: "Cagegory: ";
}
```

@amandaleonjoyce, don’t get frustrated! CSS is theme-specific, and that’s why I mentioned in my previous reply that the example was just for the Hatch theme. :)

For the Grisaille theme, you can remove the “Category Archives:” text from category pages like http://wowzersfest.org/category/latest-news/ by adding the following CSS to your Appearance > Customize > CSS editor:
```
.category #archives > h2 {
	visibility: hidden;
}
.category #archives > h2 span {
	visibility: visible;
	float: left;
}
```

@designsimply Perfect! That had been driving me mad, and thank you for the links as well. Hugely appreciated. Is there a link I can put up on our site to credit/thank you? As a feminist festival, I feel it’s the least we could do! :)

No need for a link! :)
