There are a couple of ways you could do this – this is the one I’ve tested:
First, you’ll need to set up a child theme, so your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme. Here are some guides in case you haven’t made one before:

Next, download the Sketch theme.
Make a copy of the custom template for portfolio project types, called taxonomy-jetpack-portfolio-type.php, and place it in your child theme.
In the same file, you’ll also want to replace the line
<?php sketch_paging_nav(); ?>
with
<?php pictorico_paging_nav(); ?>
That should get you started – the project type should now appear as the page heading on your project type archive pages.
Let me know how it goes!
Hello Kathryn
First of all thank you very much for your helpful support in this forum.
I followed the steps as you described above and it worked fine for renaming the archive page to its title. However doing so, the following problems appeared:
1) 4 of 5 featured images were not shown anymore on the main portfolio page
2) the one picture which appeared has been resized automatically
3) clicking that picture did not lead to the page of the portfolio post anymore but opened the picture in a slide show instead.
I now deleted the taxonomy-jetpack-portfolio-type.php again, as it didn’t work so far. Could you please give me advise, how I could solve these problems?
First of all thank you very much for your helpful support in this forum.
You’re welcome!
I’m not sure why just adding the new template caused those other issues, that’s odd.
You could try another method, still within your child theme, so your changes aren’t overwritten every time you update the theme.
Copy the file archive.php from the parent and place it in your child theme.
Below this existing code on lines 62-62:
elseif ( is_tax( 'post_format', 'post-format-chat' ) ) :
_e( 'Chats', 'pictorico' );
…add a new condition:
elseif ( is_tax( 'jetpack-portfolio-type' ) ) :
single_term_title();
Let me know if that does it – it worked well on my test site.
Hallo Kathryn,
your recommendation was brilliant. It was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much for your help and enjoy your day.
