 * Is there a way to hide or disable the header on the archive (category) pages 
   without removing/hiding the archive (category) title?
 * I tried using:
    .category header { display: none; } But this hides the category
   title as well.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhide-disable-archive-header%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Can you give give a link to a CATEGORY archive page on your site? I checked your
   site but couldn’t find any.

 * I just have the one category right now, which I titled “blog” in the link above.

 * If I understand you correctly, your category name is “blog”, but you’ve tweaked
   the category permalink from the default `/category/blog/` to just `/blog/`. This
   is what got me confused!
 * I tried to view your page’s HTML source to check the code and give you an appropriate
   CSS selector that should do the trick. But it seems you’re explicitly forbidding
   this, as I’m seeing the alert: **“You’re not allowed to copy content or view 
   source”**.
 * Of course, I could easily bypass that in a fraction of a second… but I try to
   live my life by principles, and I’m choosing to respect your warning and not 
   do what you say I shouldn’t do.
 * Good luck!

 * I completely forgot that was on. I disabled it.
    So basically I have a custom
   header on the homepage. And a second custom header on all the other pages & posts.
   That 2nd custom header is my just my navigation in the custom header section.
 * I want my /blog/ to look like the pages & posts (no image for the header, just
   a navigation bar). I am trying to figure out how to disable/hide that header 
   image on /blog/. The CSS I posted before does remove the header, but it is also
   removing the “Blog” category title.
 * So the look I am trying to achieve is the look I have on all the pages & posts(
   aside from the homepage). If that makes sense.
 * Thank you for responding.

 * Thanks for the detailed explanation. I was actually not sure what you meant by“
   header”, as the HTML element “header” can be used anywhere, and not necessarily
   the top part of a site that we commonly call header.
 * Try this custom CSS:
 *     ```
       .category .elementor-element-aadfa88 {
       display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * You may also need to add `.category #top-bar {padding-top: 0;}` to reduce the
   dark space at the top (before the double lines) to be the same as the other pages.
 * Standing by for feedback.

 * Unfortunately it didn’t work. I am about to call it a day and see if I can find
   some more out tomorrow. I appreciate your help.

 * The code should work. But your implementation is faulty!
 * Here’s what I see in your site:
 * `.menu-bar::after{font-family:david libre;content:"Menu";position:relative;padding:
   5px 5px 5px 5px;text-transform:uppercase;color:#FFFFFF!important;.category .elementor-
   element-aadfa88{display:none}.category #top-bar{padding-top:0}`
 * As you can see, your custom CSS with the selector `.menu-bar::after` was closed
   with a closing bracket `}` before you added the code I gave.
