When I visit a category page, the title (css class=”entry=title”) is like this:

All Reiki Masters and Practitioners in Thailand’s In-person

How can I change that to:

All Reiki Masters and Practitioners in Thailand (In-person)

I looked in the translation file, which is where I normally go to tweak stuff like this, but couldn’t find anything.

Not 100% sure though.

I’ll try an SEO plugin next week and see how it goes.

I want to change the actual entry title on the category page. As I said in the original post, I want to change the page element with the css class of “entry=title”. If you go to this example page on my site, you will see the text I want to change: the text that says “All Reiki Masters and Practitioners in ‘In-Person’”, which currently makes no sense.

I have tried to solve this issue myself. First I found out what is generating the entry title on the category page. Is it Genesis or a Genesis Child Theme or GeoDirectory? I enabled the default WordPress theme, Twenty Fifteen, and nothing has changed in the entry title. So I guess it’s not Genesis, it’s GeoDirectory. I could be wrong, it could be WordPress itself.

My guess is that it’s GeoDirectory. So how can I go about changing functions.php to change the entry title of the top-level category page like this:

• existing: All [name of custom place type] in ‘[name of category]’
• what I want: All [name of category] [name of custom place type]

this is how you should do it:

1) remove the action that adds the title in the template:

remove_action( 'geodir_listings_page_title', 'geodir_action_listings_title', 10 );

2) copy the function geodir_action_listings_title from geodirectory_template_actions.php line 732 and paste in your theme functions.php

3) edit the function as desired and make sure to rename it to something like : my_geodir_action_listings_title

4) add a new action with your function to add your custom title back in the page.

add_action( 'geodir_listings_page_title', 'my_geodir_action_listings_title', 10 );

Let us know how you went.

Thank you

That’s exactly the kind of help I needed. Thank you.

So far it’s all gone well. I have successfully managed steps 2-4.

The only thing remaining is step 1. Pasting that code into functions.php appears to have no effect on my site. Just to confirm that: I have

remove_action( 'geodir_listings_page_title', 'geodir_action_listings_title', 10 );

but it doesn’t seem to remove the action.

So now I have two entry titles: the default one, which I can’t remove, and the new, customised one.

<div class="content-sidebar-wrap" id="geodir-wrapper">
	<header class="entry-header">
		<h1 class="entry-title fn">Reiki Masters and Practitioners in Thailand offering Distance Reiki</h1></header><!--Correct, my customised version -->
	
	<div class="term_description"><p>Reiki Masters and Practitioners offering distance Reiki Courses and Treatments</p>
	</div>

<div role="main" class="content"><main role="main" class="entry listings-page" id="geodir-main-content"><div class="clearfix">		
		<div class="geodir-tax-sort">
			<select onchange="javascript:window.location=this.value;" id="sort_by" name="sort_by">
				<option selected="selected" value="/masters-practioners/distance/?sort_by">Sort By</option><option value="/masters-practioners/distance/?sort_by=post_title_asc" selected="selected">Title</option><option value="/masters-practioners/distance/?sort_by=post_title_desc" selected="selected">Title (reverse)</option>			
			</select>
		</div>

		<header class="entry-header"><h1 class="entry-title fn">All Reiki Masters and Practitioners in Thailand’s Distance Reiki</h1></header><!-- Incorrect, I want to get rid of this -->				
			<div class="term_description"><p>Reiki Masters and Practitioners offering distance Reiki Courses and Treatments</p>
			</div>

		</div>

<!-- This is the listings content -->

</div>

Try this :

Point 1 and 4 are useless, so delete them. In your functions.php keep only your customized function my_geodir_action_listings_title (or whatever you called it)

than add this:

remove_action( 'geodir_before_listing', 'gd_genesis_listing_page_title_bar', 10 );
add_action( 'geodir_before_listing', 'my_gd_genesis_listing_page_title_bar', 10 );
function my_gd_genesis_listing_page_title_bar() {
my_geodir_action_listings_title(); //change this name in case you called the function differently
geodir_action_listings_description();
}

The original function could be found in: geodirectorygeodirectory-functionscompatibilityGenesis.php

Let us know if this works,

Thx

What you suggested fixed it. Perfect—thank you so much!
