“But I’m unsure on how to add the class ‘post’ to the individual
li’s within that widget.”

(the tag was stripped out)

<?php echo strip_tags(category_description()); ?> worked beatifully.

I use this:

<h2 class=”pagetitle”><?php single_cat_title(); ?>
<span><?php echo strip_tags(category_description()); ?></span></h2>

..and then style away in the CSS (use – span {display:block;} – to get the category description onto the next line)

Thanks all!

Odd.. The first post went blank..

Anyway, my question was why adding the following into template/archive.php:

<h2 class=”pagetitle”><?php echo category_description(single_cat_title()); ?></h2>

Produces:

<h2 class=”pagetitle”>Category Title<p>Category Description</p></h2>

(in other words, why the paragraph tag?)

Is there any other way of getting Category Descriptions to appear on an Archive?

Thanks. I was able to batch change the category ID.

The posts are still not ‘published’ however, and I’m a little concerned about messing with the SQL database.

Anyone know if there’s a plugin which would batch-publish posts?

Moving to Nucleus.

Thanks moshu for the suggestion, but, alas, the plugin doesn’t resolve the problems.

(I’m really surprised that folks have not wanted either of these options – either to order categories in a static order on the front page; or to display only the most recent post from each category.)

The answer:

<h2 id=”cat<?php the_category_ID(); ?>”><?php the_category(‘separator’); ?></h2>

spits out the following html:

<h2 id=”cat7″>The Category</h2>

You can modify the tag as you like in the CSS
