    I'm using magazine pro. When I edit a category to add a description and an image, I want that to display in the category. What do I need to do to get Magazine Pro to do that?

    This may help if you're still looking.

    Thanks Terry, that worked!

    The only issue now is that the category description and image display above the category title, which doesn't make sense.

    Can you suggest how I would get the title to display at the top?

    Or, is there a way to hide the category title altogether?

    Hi Terry
    I have the same problem with the description appearing above the title. Did you get an answer to this?

    I have tried using the Category Archive Settings which works but Yoast doesn't take it into consideration.

    Cheers Russ

    Hi Russ,

    One way to move the category description below the title is to change the priority in the add_action call (assuming you're using the link to Brad's page)

    from
    add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'display_category_archives_description');

    to something like
    add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'display_category_archives_description', 15);

    It may be something different than 15. 15 works for the most recent Magazine Pro, 3.5.1.

    Hope that helps!
