 * Hi,
 * Can you send me a link to your site? This should be possible with some CSS.
 * Thanks!

 * I am using the theme: easy store if that makes any difference. Are there any 
   css codes that will hide the category descriptions that are showing up on my 
   sub category pages?

 * Hi,
 * Under **Customize > Additional CSS**, you can add the following code:
 *     ```
       .tax-product_cat .term-description {
           display:none
       }
       ```

    If you’d like to learn more about CSS, I highly recommend using the [free tutorials at w3schools](https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/).
   Here, you can find the basics of [selectors](https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.asp)(
   how to target the right element on the page), and [properties](https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/)(
   how to change the element on the page).

 * I have descriptions on all my category and subcategory pages but want them hidden.
   I am also not sure why they show up twice

 * Hi,
 * It’s the way the theme is configured, that’s why it’s there twice. You have areas
   for this in the header and on the page. I imagine the theme would have a way 
   to disable this.
 * ⌊Category Descriptions⌉⌊Category Descriptions⌉

 * To hide the description in the header please try this.
 *     ```
       .taxonomy-description {
           display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * To hide the description in the body of the page you would use this CSS.
 *     ```
       .term-description p span {
           display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * Cheers!

 * Also, is there any css code to hide the title “Category: Outerwear” like shown
   in the image you sent above?
