 * I see. I’m totally new to codes…have used WordPress before but never touched 
   the code. Where in the archives.php should I paste it, Michael?

 * Thanks for the reply! Here are some codes I’ve tried, and all of the instructions
   said I can paste ’em anywhere on the archives.php of the theme:
 * **Code 1**
    <?php /* If the category description isn’t blank…show it! */ if (
   category_description() != “”) { ?> <div class=”categoryDescription”><?php echo
   category_description(); ?></div> <?php } ?>
 * **Code 2**
    <?php echo category_description( $category_id ); ?>
 * **Code 3**
    <?php the_archive_description( ‘<div class=”taxonomy-description”
   >’, ‘</div>’ ); ?>
 * I always get the same result: the description appears but above the header.
 * Looking forward to your reply, Michael.
