[Resolved] Hiding category descriptions

[Pete Baker]

Hi, can this be done so that the description is still there for SEO purposes but not visible?

It’s possible, but Google will punish you for doing so.

Doing anything just for search engines while hiding it for humans will result in your site being blacklisted, so it’s definitely not a good idea.

If you just want to hide the description, you can add this CSS:

.page-header .taxonomy-description {
      display: none;
}

Oh right! I never knew that. Thanks Tom, I’ll leave them in place but be more creative with them!

[Tom]

No problem! 🙂
