    Hi,
    I’d like to have short text under my category title, then my sub-categories or products, then a bigger text for more detailed information on product. This will allow to have better SEO without boring visitors at first landing.

    On product page, this is done with “short description” and “full description” boxes.
    How can I do it for categories and sub-categories ? Ideally, I’d like not to put too much coding as I am not developper.

    Thanks for all.
    Here is an example of a page : https://www.byaeni.fr/categorie-produit/hygiene-salle-de-bains/protege-slips-lavables/

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @lemouz –

    You can add a description to your categories in much the same way you do products. If you go to Products > Categories, you can edit the category’s details from there, including the description.

    One caveat – not all themes display this description, so it will depend on your theme.

    Thanks for your answer, I know this and I already did it as you can see on this page : https://www.byaeni.fr/categorie-produit/hygiene-salle-de-bains/protege-slips-lavables/

    The thing is I’d like to have part of the text before the products and sub-categories and part of the text after the products. Because if I put 800 words before the products, visitors will go out of my site.

    I precise I use storefront theme (with child-theme)

    @lemouz
    You will have more control over the display if you use a shortcode to display the category products. You can then add whatever text you want above and below the shortcode a you describe.
    You can read about short codes that display categories here:
    https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/#section-13

    In your case the shortcode may look like this:
    [product_category category="364"]

    I hope that helps you to figure it out.
    Feel free to get back to us if you have further questions.

    If I understand well, to use this short code, I have to create my own category pages, one for each category and sub-category.

    Right noww, I only use what woocommerce does itself.
    My categories appears in my front page (I created) and shop page (created by woocommerce)
    Then when user click on the category image, it goes to the page created by woocommerce (example : https://www.byaeni.fr/categorie-produit/enfance/) All text and images in this pages are from the frontoffice (Woocommerce/Products/Categories)

    So anyone can confirm (or not) that there is no way to do it without creating my own category pages ?
