 * Hi
 * I have searched for an answer to this however I can’t find a solution.
 * I am trying to remove the header and folder icon for a category page. Not just
   the word “category” but the entire thing. The box and the spacing.
 * I have tried editing the functions.php and broken my blog twice.
 * Custom CSS Doesn’t work.
 * I know I need to edit the functions file but I don’t know the code.
 * Please see the link below as to what I am trying to achieve.

 * Thanks for choosing Unit!
 * This CSS should hide that whole box on the category pages:
 *     ```
       .archive-header {
         display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * You can copy and paste it into the Additional CSS section found in the Customizer(
   Appearance > Customize).

 * Hi Ben
 * Thank you for replying so quickly!
 * This worked like an absolute charm!
 * Would it be possible to display the Category Description only?
 * Thank you so much for your help! Absolute Life Saver!
 * All the best

 * You’re welcome 🙂
 * This CSS should do the trick:
 *     ```
       .archive-header {
         background: none;
         border: none;
         padding: 1px 0 0;
         margin: 0;
       }
       .archive-header i,
       .archive-header h1 {
         display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * That hides the other elements and removes the background and border so only the
   description remains.
