Why Is My Wordpress Category Showing Up As Category Archive!

When you click on the post or on the category? I think many themes have it that when you click on the category it says 'archive' of that category. You should be able to change that under appearance >> editor >> not sure which file off the top of my head.

Just looking at one of my own Wordpress sites I went into the 'Archive' file and found this piece of code:

<h2 class="pagetitle"><?php printf(__('Archive for the ‘%s’ Category', 'kubrick'), single_cat_title('', false)); ?></h2>

I removed the following:

Archive for the

So the code then looked like this:

<h2 class="pagetitle"><?php printf(__('‘%s’ Category', 'kubrick'), single_cat_title('', false)); ?></h2>

Now when I click on a category on my site it just says the category name and not Archive for the category. That should fix it for the categories. I'm not sure what you mean by clicking on the post and seeing it Archived, I've only seen it on the categories page.

I made a post & put the post in it's parent & subcategory.

When I click on either category it's showing Category Archives: first
and then the real category name appears after that for both like this.

Category Archives: Home Furniture

Here's my archive.php file which part should I remove.

<?php get_template_part('content', 'before'); ?>
<div class="content">
<h2 class="generic"><?php

/* If this is a category archive */
if (is_category()) { printf( __( 'Category Archives: <span>%s</span>', 'themater' ), single_cat_title( '', false ) );
$the_template_part = 'categories';

/* If this is a tag archive */
} elseif (is_tag()) { printf( __( 'Tag Archives: <span>%s</span>', 'themater' ), single_tag_title( '', false ) );
$the_template_part = 'tags';

/* If this is a daily archive */
} elseif (is_day()) { printf( __( 'Daily Archives: <span>%s</span>', 'themater' ), get_the_date() );
$the_template_part = 'day';

/* If this is a monthly archive */
} elseif (is_month()) { printf( __( 'Monthly Archives: <span>%s</span>', 'themater' ), get_the_date('F Y') );
$the_template_part = 'month';

/* If this is a yearly archive */
} elseif (is_year()) { printf( __( 'Yearly Archives: <span>%s</span>', 'themater' ), get_the_date('Y') );
$the_template_part = 'year';

/* If this is an author archive */
} elseif (is_author()) { printf( __( 'Author Archives: <span>%s</span>', 'themater' ), get_the_author() );
$the_template_part = 'author';

/* If this is a general archive */
} else { _e( 'Blog Archives', 'themater' ); $the_template_part = 'archive';}
?></h2>

<?php
get_template_part('loop', $the_template_part);
?>
</div><!-- .content -->
<?php get_template_part('content', 'after'); ?>

I edited the archive.php file & that did it thanks all for the help.

PHP:
---------
if (is_category()) { printf( __( 'Category Archives: <span>%s</span>', 'themater' ), single_cat_title( '', false ) );
---------
just simply edit it to
PHP:
---------
if (is_category()) { printf( __( 'Category : <span>%s</span>', 'themater' ), single_cat_title( '', false ) );
