   I would like to be able to change the text of a category Archive (or any other) page header to custom text. Can this be done? If not, alternately how can I remove this text entirely? Can these changes be done post by post or only globally?

   Thanks!

   Hey,
   you can change the archive text globally in archive.php. Near the top you'll see the text strings "Archive for"... - you can replace it with any custom text.

   How do I replace the text at the top of a particular navigation item I have named"random" for example? This menu nav item is calling for a few different categories to display..is there a way to change that - or at least make it disappear? I need to be able to customize an archive page so it doesnt say "Archive for ______" at the top. Thanks!

   In this case just delete following line in archive.php - this will remove the archive heading:
   

   if($output != "") $output = '<h2 class="superheading">'.$output.'</h2>';

   Hey dude..it still leaves a small text line that says "archive for ______". But it removed the big H1 text. Is there a solution to remove all text?

   Hi,

   in your archive.php you'll see
   

   $output = __('Archive for ','habitat').single_cat_title('',false);
   } elseif (is_day()) {
   $output = __('Archive for ','habitat').get_the_time('F jS, Y');
   } elseif (is_month()){
   $output = __('Archive for ','habitat').get_the_time('F, Y');
   } elseif (is_year()) {
   $output = __('Archive for ','habitat').get_the_time('Y');
   } elseif (is_search()) {

   You can remove all occurrences of "Archive for", like this:

   $output = __(' ','habitat').single_cat_title('',false);
   } elseif (is_day()) {
   $output = __(' ','habitat').get_the_time('F jS, Y');
   } elseif (is_month()){
   $output = __(' ','habitat').get_the_time('F, Y');
   } elseif (is_year()) {

   This should work without the solution Dude provided.

   If the above isn't what you need you can undo it. Then, find the following in the same file:

   if($output != "") $output = '<h2 class="superheading">'.$output.'</h2>';
   Replace it by
   if($output != "") $output = '';

   Thanks Chris! The first option removed the "Archive For" and the second option removed everything entirely.
