    How do I turn on and display category descriptions?

    I need them to display below the category titles, on the main [ultimate-faqs] page.

    I understand that most themes, including the default themes, do not show category descriptions by default (“The description is not prominent by default; however, some themes may show it.”), but I need to turn them on. How would I go about doing this?

    I’ve searched online and can’t find an easy tutorial or instructions on how to turn category descriptions on for your plugin. Without descriptions, it means I can’t show any category information to users – only the FAQ content.

    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi stuartjdavidson,

    The descriptions in the Categories are part of taxonomies and would display on regular WordPress pages that make use of taxonomies. You could choose a theme that makes use of this feature and displays the description on the pages where these taxonomies show up. Our plugin does not make use of that feature of taxonomies and thus it doesn’t show the description of the Categories on the FAQ page of the plugin. Alternatively, you could also modify some of the code to display the description next to the Category title but we would not recommend doing this until you’re confident enough to do the modifications to the code.
