Woocommerce archive description and pagination

[lobbybros]

Hello

I am working on my archive-product.php and would like for the woocommerce_archive_description to show up on all my shop pages (currently it is present on page one, but for pages 2 + it doesn’t show). How can I do this? Does it have to do with the theme or Woocommerce?

Thks and kind regards
Claudia

Yes, basically on page 1 of my product archives, the description (I’m referring to <?php do_action( ‘woocommerce_archive_description’ ); ?> ) is showing just fine, but on page 2, page 3, page 4, etc the description isn’t showing.
What I’m wondering is if it’s possible to make the description work with pagination so that it will appear on all pages in the product archives by adding some command or another.

I have attached two screenshots of what I mean.

Thks,
Claudia

<?php echo '<div class="page-description">' . apply_filters( 'the_content', $shop_page->post_content ) . '</div>';?>
INSTEAD OF

<?php do_action( ‘woocommerce_archive_description’ ); ?>

Wait…sorry but I just noticed an issue….

The code makes the description show up perfectly on the Shop page, but unfortunately also substitutes the archive description on all my product categories (which were all personalized).
What can I do?

Thks and sorry again.

Hi,
Please remove that one code and use this one.

<?php 
if(!is_product_category()){
$shop_page = get_post( woocommerce_get_page_id( 'shop' ) );
echo '<div class="page-description">' . apply_filters( 'the_content', $shop_page->post_content ) . '</div>';
}
?>

Works fine on the shop page, but I am now missing the category description totally on the product categories! Any ideas?

Thks!

Hi,
I am not sure that what do you want ? I am totally confused.
Thanks

Sorry for being confusing!

Basically, our basic shop page has a description set up in the pages section, while all our specific product categories have a description set up in the product categories section. What we would like is for each category to show its specific description and for shop to show its specific description, but for this to also be compatible with pagination.
Is this possible?

Thks again!

}else{
