Display category description

Hi @paultravers,

You’d need to create a child theme, copy the index.php file from Fukasawa to it and modify the code in the archive header to include output of get_the_archive_description() on category pages. I might take a look at adding that output in Fukasawa as well, but I can’t guarantee anything.

Hi Anders

I would love to know how to do this too, it would be nice to be able to display the category description at the top of page 1 for each category.

I created the child theme as per that link, don’t know how to do that last step though :-/

Hi @paultravers and @theuntakename,

I decided to go ahead and add this in version 1.26, which was just submitted and should be available as an update shortly.

Anders, you are the man!!

thanks a lot, I look forward to it

I have upgraded and I see the description now!

it looks like you are only allowing a fixed size of plain text.

Possible to enable any amount of HTML?

I installed CategoryTinymce to get HTML description but it does not display.

This would allow really amazing flexible landing page layouts for categories!!

I love your theme!

these are my main blog categories

https://mattsw.art/category/windsurf/
https://mattsw.art/category/safarinow/
https://mattsw.art/category/yoga/

it would be very slick if the description could sit in a white padded card, same as each post, but using the full page content width

(if this is possible I will then delete the main site pages+imagegallery I use, and replace with category.description + category.posts)

do you have a paid version of your theme?

aaah I see you are totally open source and free, very cool

I have sent you some beer money via PayPal, keep up the great WordPress juice!

I have now switched to Koji theme, its solved all my desires!
