edit Template Archive Header php

Thanks for replying Michael! Here is the code for the entire php. I’m using a theme called Enoki. Quick follow-up question: In order to not lost this customization in a theme update (I have a child theme) what exactly do I do? Thanks again!

[ Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button. ]

Thanks so much for your time and help Michael! That worked! The only thing left to clean up was the “from” – 5 posts from January 2016, which I found further up in

case 'month':
$archive_title = __('from', 'loc_canon');
$archive_subject = get_the_time('F Y');
$archive_title_string = sprintf('%s <span>%s</span>', $archive_title, $archive_subject);break;

at first I tired removing ‘from’ but that resulted in the entire page being blank! I then only removed the word from, leaving ”

case 'month':
 $archive_title = __('', 'loc_canon');
 $archive_subject = get_the_time('F Y');
 $archive_title_string = sprintf('%s <span>%s</span>', $archive_title, $archive_subject); break;

and that gave a nice clean archive heading F Y, in this case January 2016.

Thanks again – you are officially the first (and only) person to help me here and it means a lot! 🙂
