I want to display different titles in category archives than the category title.
I have created a function with if statements for this purpose:
function category_titles_change() {
if (is_category('name1')) { ?>
new title 1
<?php }
elseif (is_category('name2')) { ?>
new title 2
<?php }
elseif (is_category('name3')) { ?>
new title 3
<?php }
}
How can I use this to change the <title></title> shown in the <head></head>
I have tried this:
function head_category_titles_change() {
if (is_category()) { ?>
<title>
<?php category_titles_change(); ?>
</title>
<?php }}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'head_category_titles_change' );
But this ads a second <title> to the <head> in addition to the default title.
How can I replace the default Title in Category archives with my desired titles?

Reset to default 4Well thank you for this question i did this after you posted this
function category_title( $title ){
if( is_category('name1') ){
$title = 'name1 title';
}elseif( is_category('name2') ){
$title = 'name2 title';
}
return $title;
}
add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', 'category_title' );
Hope this helps
You shouldn't use wp_head action - it doesn't give you a chance to modify title that is already printed. But WordPress has special hook for that: wp_title.
The code below should do the trick:
function my_change_category_title( $title, $sep ) {
if ( is_category('name1') ) {
return 'Cat 1 title';
}
if ( is_category('name2') ) {
return 'Cat 2 title';
}
...
return $title;
}
add_filter( 'wp_title', 'my_change_category_title', 10, 2 );
You can also try to use pre_get_document_title hook with the same filter function.
