 * Hey there, I’d like to replace “Category:” string in the page
    I have used this
   code using “content” CSS’s property
 *     ```
       /* category page ATTIVITA */
       .category-1 .page-title {visibility: hidden;}
       .category-1 .page-title:before {visibility: visible;content: 'Attività';}
       ```
   
 * I’m using Nineteenth Theme.
    Is it better to use PHP to do it automatically?
 * Thanks in advice, Pier31

 * Hi Pier31,
    You can replace/modify the page title programmatically so that each
   category archive page will render the category title exactly as you would like.
 * In the 2019 theme, look at the <header> tag in the archive.php template. The 
   function `the_archive_title()` is responsible for rendering the page title as
   Category: Activities.
 * Try replacing `the_archive_title()` with `single_cat_title()`, this should render
   Activities as the page title, without the Category: prefix.
 * You will want to remove the CSS declarations you provided in your question if
   you use the `single_cat_title()` function.
 * Good luck!
 * Function reference: [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/single_cat_title/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/single_cat_title/)
