I see that others have had the same problem, but nothing I try will remove ‘Events Archive’ from my events listing page title. I have this code in my functions.php in my child theme:
add_filter(‘pre_get_document_title’, ‘ee_events_archive_titles’);
function ee_events_archive_titles() {
if ( is_post_type_archive( ‘espresso_events’ ) ) {
return ‘Trainings | The Social Change Agency’;
}
}
…but it does nothing.
The event listing page is using a template called ‘archive-espresso_events.php’
Thanks

Hi there,
The pre_get_document_title() actually filters the title tag, and that’s not the same thing as the title heading displaying on the top of the page.
Does your “archive-espresso_events.php” template have any code that outputs the “Events Archive” title heading?

Sorry – the title tag is what I meant – the title in the tab of the page thats used for SEO.
The template used is using the normal get_header() function as all the other WordPress pages. There’s nothing else within the template that has the word ‘archive’ apart from the name of the template file itself.

In that case, your code as-is should have an effect, but would be less prone to conflicting with other pages if it was changed to this:
add_filter('pre_get_document_title', 'ee_events_archive_titles');
function ee_events_archive_titles( $title ) {
if ( is_post_type_archive( 'espresso_events' ) ) {
$title = 'Trainings | The Social Change Agency';
}
return $title;
}

Still no luck. I guess I’ll need to leave it as it is.
Thank you anyway Josh

If you can send a copy of the theme to support[at]eventespresso.com we can take a quick look and see if anything stands out if you’d like?
The above should work so we’d need to look over the code to see what is happening.

It looks like Divi overrides the title with the same filter, if you look in the Divi theme, you’ll find this little gem:
add_filter( 'pre_get_document_title', 'elegant_titles_filter' );
When no priority is set, then WP defaults to priority 10. You can override their filter by setting a later priority (like 11) on your add_filter() call, e.g:
add_filter('pre_get_document_title', 'ee_events_archive_titles', 11 );
function ee_events_archive_titles( $title ) {
if ( is_post_type_archive( 'espresso_events' ) ) {
$title = 'Trainings | The Social Change Agency';
}
return $title;
}

I didn’t understand a word of that, but it did the trick anyway! Had to go up to no.16.
Thanks so much 🙂

There’s a well-written explanation about filter hooks in this article:
