    But I can’t display the
   taxonomy term description on single taxonomy term page. How can I do ?

 * Hi,
 * You need to use the term_description function from WordPress directly in your
   archive page template from your theme.
 * [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/term_description](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/term_description)
 * So if you open archive.php from your theme, for it to display the term description,
   it needs to have something like this:
 *     ```
       			<header class="page-header">
       				<?php
       					the_archive_title( '<h1 class="page-title">', '</h1>' );
       					the_archive_description( '<div class="taxonomy-description">', '</div>' );
       				?>
       			</header>
       ```

 * Hi,
 * Thanks Cristian, I solved it with “the_archive_description” and “term_description”
