[Support request] Category description is showing twice in 2.3

[Jagdish]

Just dowloaded 2.3 and found in live preview that category description is showing twice on category pages. Didn’t activated though.

[David]

Hi there,

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

[Jagdish]

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.

[Tom]

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( ‘

%s

‘, $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 ‘

‘ . get_the_author_meta(‘description’) . ‘

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

[Tom]

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?

[Jagdish]

This will remove description on category subpages.

[Tom]

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' );
    }
} );
