For achieve this title you need to extend get_the_archive_title . here is how or check the official doc

function wpse64458_get_the_archive_title($title){
    if ( is_category() ) {
        $title = single_cat_title( '', false );
    } elseif ( is_tag() ) {
        $title = single_tag_title( '', false );
    }
    return $title;
}
add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', 'wpse64458_get_the_archive_title');

  • it actually works! is there a way to modify it through theme template files not WordPress core files? because if i update my WordPress version everything been modified in WordPress core files will be overwritten by the update
