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.
