The template I’m using is displaying the page (etc) title on the header.
While individual places have no problem, categories/listings don’t display their title.

The template is using this code
```
} else if (is_singular()){
	echo get_the_title();
```
to display the title for the pages, and it’s the same that affects the individual listings.
How can I have the category title displayed as well?

Hello,

Thanks for writing in today with your question.

You can have a look at this thread here:

https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/display-category-title/

It’s a customization you can do yourself now or wait and see when GDV2 is released.

Thanks

Thank you for your answer… I’m afraid I can’t make it work…
My wordpress knowledge is pretty limited 🙁

Do you have the category description showing now?

Please share a link to an example page, and then the following information so we can take a look.

Hello!

I added a category description and it shows on the category listing page.

Places > Place Categories > Category > Description

I added an H2 and P. You can customize your own CSS to change the display.

Add custom CSS at GD > Design > Scripts > CSS

See this page for more details about adding custom CSS:

https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/customizing-your-style/

An example:
```
.term_description h2 {
    font: ultra-condensed italic small-caps bold 44px Georgia, sans-serif;
}
```
Let us know if you have any questions about that

Thank you but that is not what I meant. The title was displaying at that part and I removed it through css.

My problem is that in my theme, title are displayed on the top. Over the header image. The geodirectory category doesn’t.

Please see the attached

In the forum link you’ve sent me, there was a link to another thread with similar info, and that’s what I tried to use, but apparently I failed :/

Your theme author needs to add one more check to the /parts/title.php around line 34
```
 else if( is_post_type_archive() ){
			post_type_archive_title();
		}
```
I have added this for you, you should either move this file to your child theme or get the theme author to add it to his/her theme.

Thanks,

Thank you I have added that to the child theme.
This code gives the title “places”. What if I want the category name as title? For example “shop” or “eat & drink”?
