Show category description on list view page

[Sylvester]

Hello,

I’ve been trying to show the category description on my category events (list view) page.

I’ve tried the solutions in these threads:

Display Category Description on Event Category Page

Show Category Description

So I’ve added the following two codes to the content.php file, after copying it from the src/views/list directory and pasting it in a new folder called tribe-events/views/list/…

Here’s a screen of where i placed the code provided in one of the threads (I’ve tried all of them)

But still I see no description.

Can you please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Sylvester,

Hope you’re having a good day 🙂

How I got the category description to display is by following these steps:

Make a template override of template file content.php from src/views/list to theme-folder/tribe-events/list. The code to call the necessary category description is as follows:

<?php echo category_description() ?>

Open your theme’s functions.php file, input the following code at the bottom and save your changes:

if( is_tax() ) {
echo term_description( get_queried_object_id(), 'tribe_events_cat' );
}

Let me know if you’re able to get the category description displaying as desired! Thanks for choosing PRO and have a great weekend!
