Hi, just to add to this, on version 2.1 you need to edit out this line:
//$category_description = apply_filters(‘pre_category_description’, $category_description);
and if you want to add text into the category pages, you should refer here
and use this code
<?php if ( $paged < 2 ) { // Do stuff specific to first page?>
<?php if ( is_category() ) : ?>
<h2 id=”category-name-header”><?php echo $cache_categories[$cat]->cat_name ?></h2>
<?php add_filter(‘category_description’, ‘wpautop’); ?>
<?php add_filter(‘category_description’, ‘wptexturize’); ?>
<div id=”category-description”>
<?php echo category_description(); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php } else { // Do stuff specific to non-first page ?>
<?php } ?>
in the admin template just above
<?php $post = $posts[0]; // Hack. Set $post so that the_date() works. ?>
and it shoudl all work fine.
