Adding Category Description

Hi
The best method to achieve this would be through editing your category page template and adding the description inside it.

The file’s name is “shop.php” (can be found in jigoshop-ecommerce/templates). Each description is different, so it will be different for each category, but you might want to use a separate condition to distinguish between the categories (slug-based, for example). The code below should do it for you (create a “jigoshop” folder inside your currently used theme’s directory and put the modified “shop.php” template there)
starting from line 16, replace the “else:” expression, up to the first “endif;”, with:

<?php else: ?>
    <?php if (\Jigoshop\Frontend\Pages::isProductCategory()): ?>
        <?php global $wp_query; ?>
        <?php $term = get_term_by('slug', $wp_query->query[Jigoshop\Core\Types\ProductCategory::NAME], \Jigoshop\Core\Types\ProductCategory::NAME); ?>
        <?= apply_filters('jigoshop\shop\content\title', '<h1 class="page-title">' . $term->name . '</h1>', $term->name); ?>
        <p class="category-description"><?php echo $term->description; ?></p>
    <?php else: ?>
        <?= apply_filters('jigoshop\shop\content\title', '<h1 class="page-title">' . $title . '</h1>', $title); ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
