How to add Category description in Classipress

It is a known fact in the internet marketing world that search engines love content. Users love content too and so we have to give them what they want if we want our site to grow. One way to add relevant content to your Classipress site is to describe the category with a few pharagraphs. You can add category description by going to your dashboard then choose Categories. From there you can simply type your category description.

However, Classipress does not display yet the Category description  and so here’s how you can do that just like the sample image above.

Go to your dashboard, then to Appearance and choose Editor. Edit the main index.php by finding first the code below;

<small><?php if(function_exists(‘bcn_display’)) { bcn_display(); } ?></small>

and paste this code after that;

<?php if ( is_category() ) : ?>
<?php add_filter(‘category_description’, ‘wpautop’); ?>
<?php add_filter(‘category_description’, ‘wptexturize’); ?>
<div id=”category-description”>
<?php echo category_description(); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

That’s it and you are done. Have a great day.
