Remove ‘category’ from header title on category pages in wordpress

I would like to remove the ‘Category’ from header title text on category pages in wordpress. Have tried several plugins that claim to remove these but don’t seem to work with my version.. (4.9.6)

Here a screenshot of how it looks now: https://i.sstatic.net/nF7qy.jpg

So would want to have only ‘News’ displayed there. Anyone knows a way of getting rid of the Category before it?

All the best and thanks in advance!

Just add a line into your functions.php (After WP5.5).

add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title_prefix', '__return_false' );

In Magazine Base theme:

The title is added from the file inc/hooks/header-inner-page.php using the function the_archive_title() like

the_archive_title('<h1 class="entry-title">', '</h1>');

to remove Category from the output you need to add the following filter in your functions.php

add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', function ($title) {
  if ( is_category() ) {
    $title = single_cat_title( '', false );
  } elseif ( is_tag() ) {
    $title = single_tag_title( '', false );
  } elseif ( is_author() ) {
    $title = '<span class="vcard">' . get_the_author() . '</span>' ;
  }
  return $title; 
});

That would fix the issue.
