Genesis Automatic Term Headline

Automatically adds a headline to the term archive page, the same as the name of taxonomy term, if no explicit value is given.

Description

In Genesis, the headline on the term archive page only appears if a value is given. This plugin changes that behaviour so that the default value is the name of the term itself, instead of an empty string.

The field on the Edit Term page will still be empty, so if you enter a custom headline, this value will be used instead.

Selective Criteria

If you want to be a bit more selective of which taxonomies the plugin affects, you can use the genesis-automatic-term-headline-exclusion filter. It's a boolean filter, where any truthy value will stop the term headline from appearing. To not add the term headlines for post tag archives, for category archives for categories begining with Test, or the archive page for the flavour taxonomy with the slug of mild, for instance, you can do:

add_filter( 'genesis-automatic-term-headline-exclusion', 'prefix_automatic_term_headline_exclusion' );
/**
 * Remove automatic term headlines for specific conditions.
 *
 * @param  bool $return Existing value, originally false.
 *
 * @return bool Return true if the condition should be excluded from showing automatic term headlines, false otherwise.
 */
function prefix_automatic_term_headline_exclusion( $return ) {
    if ( is_tag() || 'Test' === substr( single_cat_title( '', false ), 0, 4 ) || is_tax( 'flavour', 'mild') )
        return true;
    return $return;
}

By returning $return instead of false, you allow more choices from other functions hooked to this filter to be carried through.
