Category description is showing twice in 2.3

Hi there,

thats odd - do you have any functions or plugins that change the way the description is displayed?

Thanks David.

Using this in snippets.
https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/remove-category-page-description-from-category-subpages/

And let me add that description on subpages is appearing once only.

Which snippet exactly? There seems to be a couple in that topic.

Let me know :)

This one

if ( ! function_exists( 'generate_archive_title' ) ) :
/**
* Build the archive title
*
* @since 1.3.24
*/
add_action( 'generate_archive_title','generate_archive_title' );
function generate_archive_title()
{
?>
<header class="page-header<?php if ( is_author() ) echo ' clearfix';?>">
<?php do_action( 'generate_before_archive_title' ); ?>
<h1 class="page-title">
<?php
if ( is_category() ) :
single_cat_title();

elseif ( is_tag() ) :
single_tag_title();

elseif ( is_author() ) :
/* Queue the first post, that way we know
* what author we're dealing with (if that is the case).
*/
the_post();
echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ), 75 );
printf( '<span class="vcard">' . get_the_author() . '</span>' );
/* Since we called the_post() above, we need to
* rewind the loop back to the beginning that way
* we can run the loop properly, in full.
*/
rewind_posts();

elseif ( is_day() ) :
printf( __( 'Day: %s', 'generatepress' ), '<span>' . get_the_date() . '</span>' );

elseif ( is_month() ) :
printf( __( 'Month: %s', 'generatepress' ), '<span>' . get_the_date( 'F Y' ) . '</span>' );

elseif ( is_year() ) :
printf( __( 'Year: %s', 'generatepress' ), '<span>' . get_the_date( 'Y' ) . '</span>' );

elseif ( is_tax( 'post_format', 'post-format-aside' ) ) :
_e( 'Asides', 'generatepress' );

elseif ( is_tax( 'post_format', 'post-format-image' ) ) :
_e( 'Images', 'generatepress');

elseif ( is_tax( 'post_format', 'post-format-video' ) ) :
_e( 'Videos', 'generatepress' );

elseif ( is_tax( 'post_format', 'post-format-quote' ) ) :
_e( 'Quotes', 'generatepress' );

elseif ( is_tax( 'post_format', 'post-format-link' ) ) :
_e( 'Links', 'generatepress' );

else :
_e( 'Archives', 'generatepress' );

endif;
?>
</h1>
<?php do_action( 'generate_after_archive_title' ); ?>
<?php
// Show an optional term description.
$term_description = term_description();
$page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
if ( ! empty( $term_description ) && $page == 1 ) :
printf( '

', $term_description );
endif;

if ( get_the_author_meta('description') && is_author() ) : // If a user has filled out their decscription show a bio on their entries
echo '

';
endif;
?>
<?php do_action( 'generate_after_archive_description' ); ?>
</header><!-- .page-header -->
<?php
}
endif;

Yea, in 2.3 we've hooked the description into the archive title area. This allows us to move it around more freely.

What exactly is that function accomplishing for you?

This will remove description on category subpages.

This is where 2.3 makes things easier.

You can remove that function and do this instead:

add_action( 'wp', function() {
    if ( is_paged() ) {
        remove_action( 'generate_after_archive_title', 'generate_do_archive_description' );
    }
} );
