    What is the conditional code to echo category_description on just the first page of a category archive?

    (client wants to avoid “duplicate content” across multiple category post pages)

    I’m also looking for conditional for “category first page”. I have content displayed above the paginated content, which shouldn’t be displayed on category-name/2.

    Did you find the answer to this eselby? I couldn’t find anything in the conditionals codex resource.

    I think I might have found this:

    is_category()&&!is_paged()

    I’ll try and see if it works.

    use the get_query_var and is_category functions.

    <?get_header()?>
<?
if (is_category()) {
  $page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
  if ($page == 1) {
    echo category_description(); //you don't need to include the category id on the actual category page - wordpress figures it out.
  }
}
?>
