Hi again,

How do I get rid of the title 'children categories' when displaying categories with child categories?
I've attached a screenshot with a black oval around the problem. Thanks in advance, Andrea

2 options.
1. rename child category to something else by going to the joomla language folder and editing "en-GB.com_k2.ini"
around line 80, you will see "CHILDREN CATEGORIES=Children categories" replace text after = to whatever you want.

2. remove all together: you need to edit category.php, either from the component folder/com_k2/templates/default
or if your template is overriding it, you need to find this file in your template folder.

Go to around line 78 and remove the text from the start to the end of the H3 tags - h3 tags have been modified for display purposes since you can put code in here.

Wow...thanks for the fast reply....I've used option 2 to remove the title altogether and it looks great :)

Tim,

 

If you go to the K2 admin, select the parent category, select the "Category view options" tab, click on Show radio button next to "Title" parameter.

Option 2 worked for me also. I like it better without the text "Child categories" Thanks!
