[Support request] categroy description and elements

[horst]

hello everybody,

thanks again for this great theme!
I am using gp 1.7.2 and the artisan site.
On category archieves there is no description shown.
Because Artisan uses elements, i tried to to insert the description via hook-element and shortcode, but no luck, only the shortcode is displaying.
{{custom_field.description}}
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
PS: Website is still under construction, so no link is possible. (developing locally)

Hi there,

the {{custom_field.description}} is a template tag and can only be used in the Header Element.
If you want to hook the description in then Leo provides the code to creaete a shortcode here:

Only need the first code and then the shorcode looks like this: [term_description]
