Category Descriptions on Shop page

  • Hi anyone!

    I’ve been searching for a few hours and have tried many solutions. My issue being:

    When creating product categories in wordpress, you can add a category title, slug, description and image (I only use parent categories).

    What I want is to display that particular description on my shop page, next to the category image (like so: https://sleepfit.nl/shop/), but I can not for the life of me figure out how to hook it in.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Best,

    Bart

    Hi lorro,

    Thanks for your input. I feel its getting pretty close, but as of now it is not yet working.

    I discovered where the description is being saved (wp_terms_taxonomy) where column = taxonomy > contains “product_cat” the following column is the description field. But how to echo this description on my shop-page, next to the respective category, is beyond me.

    example: sleepfit.nl

    I have also not yet figured out how to get rid of the double “content” tag, the one in my template is being ignored by woocommerce and it then creates his own ‘content’ tag, resulting in the page-title being displayed twice.

    It might be interfering with your suggested solution, leaving me unable to properly test it.

    Thanks for pitching in!

    Best,

    Bart

    I am on the right path, managed to delete the woocommerce page-title by altering line 304 of woocommerce/includes/wc-template-functions from “true” to “false”. Double content id is gone now too.

    Still no solution for cat_description in parent category shop view.
