echo category_description(); not working since WP2.7 update

Might have to paste the code from that template (category-7.php) in a pastebin and report the link back here because the category_description returns the descripiton of the category if you pass a category id value or it returns the category description of the ‘current category’ if used in a ‘category page’ (is_category=true).

I’m having the same problem.
MichaelH i’m not following, can you explain your text a bit more?
Thanks

Same here after 2.7 upgrade. The offending code is:

<?php  if (strlen(category_description()) > 0)
    {
        echo "<div id='catdesc'>";
        echo category_description();
        echo "</div>";
    }
?>

Any solution? Thanks

<?php

$theme_config = array(
‘featured_cat’ => 6, // Featured category ID
);

?>

I dont understand why!

the archive.php says:

`<?php

$theme_config = array(
‘featured_cat’ => 6, // Featured category ID
);

?>

I tried this and it worked <?php echo category_description($cat); ?>

I had defined $cat as the category ID previously in this template

<?php $cat = get_query_var('cat'); ?>
