Show tag description on tag page

try add this to theme functions.php or wp-content/meso-custom-functions.php if you created one.

<?php
//category description
function dez_add_cat_desc() {
$get_catdesc = category_description(); if($get_catdesc):
echo '<div style="margin:-20px 0 0 0;" class="catdesc">'.$get_catdesc.'</div>';
endif;
}
add_action('bp_after_headline', 'dez_add_cat_desc');

// tag description
function dez_add_tag_desc() {
$get_tagdesc = tag_description(); if($get_tagdesc):
echo '<div style="margin:-20px 0 0 0;" class="tagdesc">'.$get_tagdesc.'</div>';
endif;
}
add_action('bp_after_headline', 'dez_add_tag_desc');
?>

doesn’t work ??
seems like hook function do_action(‘bp_after_headline’) located on mesocolumn\lib\templates\headline.php is never executed at all. I tried manually replace it with echo “test” but nothing happens.

working fine to me, although you just need this only, no need for the dez_add_tag_desc().

<?php
//category description
function dez_add_cat_desc() {
$get_catdesc = category_description(); if($get_catdesc):
echo '<div style="margin:-20px 0 0 0;" class="catdesc">'.$get_catdesc.'</div>';
endif;
}
add_action('bp_after_headline', 'dez_add_cat_desc');
?>

check demo
//demo.dezzain.com/tag/designs/
//demo.dezzain.com/category/featured/

it show the description after i add the code.

make sure you’re using the latest v1.6.4.1 like demo do.

I’ve found a problem. I don’t use archive headings (disabled via theme options). When I enable it descriptions shows up (archive header too).

Is it possible to display only tag/category description without archive header?

try change
add_action(‘bp_after_headline’, ‘dez_add_cat_desc’);
to
add_action(‘bp_before_blog_home’, ‘dez_add_cat_desc’);

Works! Needs some text styling, but I will do it myself ??

Thanks Richie!
