Hi,

I’ve read through a few threads but haven’t been able to get anything to work. I’d love to be able to add some content or even show a description above my category page in Renew.

Any ideas?

Hey there,

This requires template overriding so using a child theme is strongly recommended.

Backup your site before and see https://community.theme.co/kb/how-to-setup-child-themes/ to learn how to setup a child theme.

After that, you will need to copy _index.php located in wp-content\themes\x\framework\views\global to the same folder structure in your child theme wp-content\themes\x-child\framework\views\global. Open the copied file and place the code below:

<?php if (is_archive()) : ?>
  <h3>Your Content</h3>
<?php endif; ?>

above the line:

<?php if ( $condition ) : ?>

Please take note that the code given serves only as a guide. Any issues arising from the use of it and or further detailed customization would fall outside the scope of our support. In which case, you might want to contact our trusted partners who caters X setup and customization needs. Please see https://community.theme.co/custom-development/

Thanks.

I’m looking to do the same exact thing, but the only solutions that I’ve found on the forums involve global content across your entire blog. It would be better UX to have it category specific, so you could create unique content specific to whichever category your user is viewing.

Hello There,

Thanks for updating this thread! You can insert a custom content in the category description instead. You can go to Posts > Categories > Edit category and insert the description. By default, it will not accept html codes. To be able to allow the html codes, you must add this line in your child theme’s functions.php file

// Displays category descriptions
// =============================================================================
remove_filter( 'pre_term_description', 'wp_filter_kses' );
remove_filter( 'term_description', 'wp_kses_data' );

function display_category_descriptions(){
  if ( is_category() ) : ?>
    
    <div class="category-desc">
      <div class="x-container max width">
        <div class="category-desc-contents">
          <?php echo category_description(); ?> 
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>

  <?php elseif( is_single() ) : ?>

    <?php 
      $f_category = get_the_category();

      if ( $f_category[0]->category_parent != 0 ) {
         $f_category_name = get_cat_name( $f_category_id );
      } else {
         $f_category_name = $f_category[0]->name;
      }
    ?>
    
    <div class="category-desc">
      <div class="x-container max width">
        <div class="category-desc-contents">
          <?php echo category_description( get_category_by_slug($f_category_name)->term_id ); ?> 
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>

  <?php else : ?>

  <?php endif;
}
add_action('x_after_view_{your-stack}__landmark-header', 'display_category_descriptions');
// =============================================================================

This will display the category descriptions below the landmark.

Hope this helps.
