Maybe through a shortcode? February 26, 2021 at 6:15 pm #1674471 LeoStaff Customer Support Hi George, Something like this? https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/add-custom_field-description-in-category-header/#post-375162 February 27, 2021 at 4:55 am #1674770 George Something like this but for a static page, I am not using a header, I am using static page archives. The shortcode doesn’t do anything. And Tom’s code has an error, a ' next to term_id that brings down the site.
