Hi there,

Because this requires a template change, I’d advise that you setup a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released. After your child theme is setup, please review how we recommend making template changes in Customization Best Practices.

Copy _index.php from framework/views/global and put it in the same path inside child theme, replace existing code with following :

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/GLOBAL/_INDEX.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Includes the index output.
// =============================================================================

$stack = x_get_stack();

if ( is_home() ) :
  $style     = x_get_option( 'x_blog_style' );
  $cols      = x_get_option( 'x_blog_masonry_columns' );
  $condition = is_home() && $style == 'masonry';
elseif ( is_archive() ) :
  $style     = x_get_option( 'x_archive_style' );
  $cols      = x_get_option( 'x_archive_masonry_columns' );
  $condition = is_archive() && $style == 'masonry';
elseif ( is_search() ) :
  $condition = false;
endif;

?>

<?php if ( $condition ) : ?>
  <div class="category_description">
<?php echo category_description(); ?>
</div>

  <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_script', 'isotope-index' ); ?>

  <div id="x-iso-container" class="x-iso-container x-iso-container-posts cols-<?php echo $cols; ?>">
    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
      <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
        <?php if ( $stack != 'ethos' ) : ?>
          <?php x_get_view( $stack, 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
        <?php else : ?>
          <?php x_ethos_entry_cover( 'main-content' ); ?>
        <?php endif; ?>
      <?php endwhile; ?>
    <?php else : ?>
      <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_content-none' ); ?>
    <?php endif; ?>

  </div>

<?php else : ?>

  <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
    <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
      <?php x_get_view( $stack, 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
  <?php else : ?>
    <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_content-none' ); ?>
  <?php endif; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php pagenavi(); ?>

also need to add shortcodes as well

Regretfully this isn’t a feature offered by X. It could be possible with custom development, but this would be outside the scope of support we can offer. You may wish to consult a developer to assist you with this. X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities.

Hope it helps.

I set up a child theme.. but your provided code, did not work for me.
I think it´s for ethos while i am using icon

In the other hand, i tried this other solution you provided here :
https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/show-category-descriptions-in-icon-stack/

and the code

add_action('x_before_view_global__index', 'icon_archive_title');
function icon_archive_title () {
if( is_category() ) : ?>
  <?php $title    = ( $meta['archive-title']    != '' ) ? $meta['archive-title']    : single_cat_title("", false); ?>
  <header class="x-header-landmark x-container max width">
    <h1 class="h-landmark"><span><?php echo $title ?></span></h1>
    <?php echo category_description(); ?>
  </header>
<?php endif; 
}

Does work in functions.php showing the category description as needed but shortcodes still not working.

[kenas]

Should i stick to the functions.php method or choose try to figure out why is not working the _index.php in global ?

I also managed to include the shortcode adding in functions.php the following

add_filter( 'term_description', 'do_shortcode' );

So it finally looks something like this :

I would still like to center the description and the title, is this possible ?

[Christopher]

Hi there,

Your methods is correct and category description displays fine.

Please add following code in Customize -> Custom -> Global CSS :

h1.h-landmark, header.x-header-landmark.x-container.max.width p {
    text-align: center;
}

Hope it helps.
