    Hi there, I want to have the description text of my categories to show up on the category page in the news Pro Theme, can anyone help me with that? Thanks!

    Hi!
    That's a very good question. I didn't know the answer immediately myself. After looking into it, for some unknown reason, Genesis handles this differently from other themes. You can display the Category Description on a Category page, but it takes a small amount of coding.

    Genesis has an extra field you can fill in to do pretty much the same thing. Go to Posts... Categories. Click on your category. Then instead of filling in Category Description, under Category Archive Settings, try putting your text into one of the two fields there, Archive Headline or Archive Intro Text.

    Hallo!
    Wonderful. I have visited Curacao, and I was thinking about it when I looked at your site. Such a great place. Sigh! 😉

    Best, Dave
