I am trying to: display the taxonomy name at the top of a custom taxonomy archive.

Instead, I got: It is naturally blank. I tried using a variety of inserted shortcodes but none of them pulled up the proper taxonomy.

Here is my code as it is.

[wpv-layout-start]
	[wpv-items-found]
	<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
          <div id="chefindex">
<wpv-loop>
     <div id="chefname">[wpv-post-title]</div>
[types field="photo" width="250" align="right" resize="proportional"][/types]
          <div id="archivetypes">[wpv-view name="private-chef"]
            [wpv-view name="yacht-chef"]</div>
  <div id="chefdata">
  <strong>Availability</strong>: [wpv-post-taxonomy type="availability" separator=", " format="text" show="name" order="asc"]<br><br>
  <strong>Locations</strong>: [wpv-post-taxonomy type="location" separator=", " format="text" show="name" order="asc"]
  </div>
          <a href="[wpv-post-url]">Read the full chef profile</a>
          </wpv-loop>
                      </div>
	<!-- wpv-loop-end -->
	[/wpv-items-found]
	[wpv-no-items-found]
		[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]<strong>No posts found</strong>[/wpml-string]
	[/wpv-no-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]

=> Could you please send me few screenshots where exactly you want to display your taxonomy name at top and at which portion of the page?
=> Which taxonomy name you want to display?
=> A link where I can see your issue will be helpful.

Also, Please send me the setup explaining your CPT, taxonomies, veiws etc..etc..

The taxonomy hierarchy is for my CPT "Chef":

Chef Types
-Private Chef
-Yacht Chef

And both of those have sub-children beneath them.

I've attached a screenshot. There is only one test item in my taxonomy archive, but I basically would like the taxonomy name ("Private Chef") on top of the archive. I want to use the taxonomy archive template for both Private Chef and Yacht Chef, though I know I can create a separate version for each and hard-code the taxonomy name at the very top. I was just hoping to single-source them to the same archive template so if I made changes, I'd only have to do it once.

Unfortunately, the beta site is in a protected view so I can't give you a URL. Let me know if you need more information.

I think you should create a custom shortcode:

Please try following shortcode:
1) add below codes in your theme functions.php:

add_shortcode('wpv-archive-title', 'wpv_archive_title_func');
function wpv_archive_title_func($atts, $content){
    return get_the_archive_title();
}

2) use the shortcode [wpv-archive-title] in your WordPress archive

That works! Thanks!

Thanks! Solved my problem too.

I just did the same thing for archive descriptions, as both
[wpv-post-taxonomy type="level" format="name"] &
[wpv-post-taxonomy type="level" format="description"]
was buggy when posts belonged to several taxonomies at once.

/* Do similar thing for archive descriptions */

function custom_get_archive_description( $atts ){
	return get_the_archive_description();
}
add_shortcode( 'wpv-archive-description', 'custom_get_archive_description' );
