    I am trying to modify my theme, specifically the page that comes up under category, where it says, “Category: Blog Posts,” for example, and then lists the blog posts under that category. I have looked through everything, but what page holds that verbiage? I want to take that out and just show the posts themselves. Thank you in advance.

    To be able to help you, we would need to know a little more about your website. A link to the website, for example, would be worth its weight in gold.

    I am trying to remove the “Category: Blog Posts.” Thanks.

    The text is the heading of your category pages. Removing it could have a negative impact on the findability of your website in search engines, as the topic-related heading would then be missing. However, the disadvantage would only be minimal, but I would still like to mention it.

    Because I see several possible solutions:

    • The simplest would be to hide the text using CSS: body.category-blog-posts h1 { display: none } – you would have to insert this under Appearance > Customizer > Additional CSS.
    • Or you can change the template of categories. For this you need a child theme: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/ – there you would have to overload the PHP file that outputs the title for this.
    • Or you can ask the support forum of the theme you are using: https://wordpress.org/support/theme/book-publisher-agency/
    • Or you choose another theme where the possibilities for such customizations would be easier. There are also many free themes where you can sometimes influence something like this via an option without having to write code yourself.

    Note: the first option only affects the heading of exactly this one category. If I have understood correctly, this is what you are looking for. With other style specifications, you can also influence this on other pages.

    Thank you!! Your first suggestion worked brilliantly and I don’t think it’ll have a negative SEO impact. Thanks!
