Category Descriptions

dylenbrivera

Hey all. While browsing the homepage of my blog, I find no description for any categories. While traversing through categories, I see nothing no descriptions. Am I doing something incorrectly?

As far as the home/index page;

They are there, just not visible by default because the height of the category cuts it off, as well as # of posts to display. Changing the height of the category will allow it to be shown.

You can also move it to somewhere else by editing the home.tpl and moving {categories.description}.

Great. Thanks

Expanding on what @cani said --

The category description is also used in:

Meta tags (so, crawlers, social media shares, etc)
RSS feed XML

Some plugins (e.g. metro-tiles) will also expose the category descriptions
