Adding shortcode support to Category Pages

[Arne]

Hello everybody,
currently working on the creation of a new website .
For the first time, I would like to shows content on the category pages and make parts of it visually appealing .

To highlight certain content I use the plugin Ultimate Shortcodes. This works fine for all articles. Unfortunately, the shortcodes are not displayed on category pages.
Example : https://www.matratzenwissen.de/matratzenarten/

Do you have any suggestion how to deal with this problem?

Hello Victor,
thanks for your help, but unfortunately that has not solved my problem .

I have now tried a lot of different ways. Finally, to come to a relatively simple solution.

The following Hook solves the problem for me:

add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'rv_output_category_info' );
function rv_output_category_info() {
	if ( is_category() ) {
		echo single_term_title('<h1>') . '</h1>';
		echo term_description();
	}
}

I have found the solution thanks the following page:
