How to Display Taxonomy Description on Taxonomy Archive Page?

[SethResler]

What is the best way to add the Taxonomy Description to the top of the Taxonomy Archives pages? (I do not want to use the Archive Intro Text). Thanks!

I used the Simple Sidebars plugin to insert this code before the loop to get the taxonomy description on the archive page:
`
if(is_tax()) {
$term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) );
?>
`

description;
?> <!--?php }

But I can't get the shortcodes to work. I've tried:

 

add_filter( ‘term_description’, ‘shortcode_unautop’);

add_filter( ‘term_description’, ‘do_shortcode’ );

 

in the functions.php file but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks!
