    Hi,

    Is it possible to add the category description from Posts => Categories to the blog category/archive pages?

    I thought about using this function/reference, but can’t figure out where to put the code.

    <?php echo category_description( $category_id ); ?>

    Thanks in advance

    Best regards
    Morten

    Hi,
    Please open to edit category.php file at theme directory.
    Find this code and insert your code just after it:-
    <div class="page-content col-sm-8 clearfix">

    Hope it should help to you.
    Thanks
    Mohammad

    Hi Mohammad,

    I have tried the solution, but I think it’s not working. Maybe I’m missing something? The blog category description for “Basketball sko” doesn’t appear above the blog post.

    Please see attached screenshots.

    I have added a category description, but I can still not see it.

    But when I view the website on my mobile, then I can see the text appear in the menu link “basketball sko”.

    Please see the attached file.

    Hi,
    I just resolved it. I edited archive.php file.

    Find this code :-
    <div class="page-content clearfix">
    
    Change with:-
    <div class="page-content  clearfix">
    <?php echo category_description(); ?>

    Thanks
    Mohammad

    Thank you.

    Just to understand it. I have to make the change in both archive.php and category.php?

    What about the issue on tablet and mobile? Maybe it’s a cache problem, but I can still see the category text in the mobile menu on iPhone. See the attachement I posted the 24th of April.

    Best regards

    Hi,
    Yes, You need to make change in both of the files. Mobile and tablet issue was related with cache so just ignore it.
    Thanks

    Hi,

    No, I want the description to show up on all platforms.

    The problem is that the the category description is visible in two places on the mobile device (e.g. iPhone). The text is visible on the page above the posts, which is good. The second place the category description is visible is, when I click on the menu icon in the upper right corner. The category description appear right after the link “Basketball sko”. I don’t want the text to be here.

    Please see attached screenshot from my iPhone.

    You wrote earlier it was related to the cache, but I have deleted the cache and deactivated the plugin. The category description is still found in the mobile menu.

    If the best solution is to hide the category description from mobile devices, then the answer to your question is “yes”.

    Best regards
    Morten
