Adding text to the main category page

[ccwadsworth]

Hello - I would like to accomplish adding text to the main category page.
I am using the Ethos stack in Pro and wanted to know I would adjust this code to support this.

function add_category_description() {
if(is_category() && !is_paged()) { ?>

<div class=“x-container max width”

<?php echo category_description(); ?>


<?php
}
}
add_action( ‘x_after_view_renew__landmark-header’, ‘add_category_description’,99999 );

Reference: Add text to category page
Thank you!

Hello @ccwadsworth,

Thanks for writing to us.

You are a Pro theme user, I would suggest you create a custom layout for the category archive page there the Layout builder where you can use this {{dc:term:description}} dynamic content code to display the category description or you can simply add the custom text.

Please have a look at our documentation to learn more about how to create the custom layout for the archive page.

You may contact a developer to assist you with your concerns or you can subscribe to One where customization questions are answered.

Thanks for understanding

Quick question: I was able to add the description to the specific category page.
Now I would like to add only the posts with the specific category to the page, using Layout Builder.
I have added the Dynamic Posts element but it is showing all posts, not the specific category.
I have set the condition to show the specific post category, but it is displaying all categories.

How can I display only posts with this category?
Appreciate your help, thank you!

Hello @ccwadsworth,

I would suggest you go to the Layout builder —>Post element —>Disable the Loopr Provider or Set the Looper Provider as OFF. Please note you are on the category archive page so you don’t need an extra loop since there is a default WordPress loop is running.

Hope it helps
Thanks
