   For some reason, after updating to WP2.7 echo category_description(); returns an error message:

   Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /<snip>/wp-content/themes/bfv/category-7.php on line 40

   This is happening for all my categories. :(
   Any idea why?

   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).

   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

   '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'); ?>
