[Resolved] Long descriptions on archive / category pages

[Niels]

Hi guys.

First of all thank you for a very awesome theme!

I’m trying to find a way, to either add an expand functionality above the fold (eg. a “Read more…” button), to split the category description, or even add a second description area below the posts, as I want to have quite long (unique) category descriptions, but do not want to mess with the UX. Would that be possible somehow, without having to use a plugin?

Hi there,

for the read more you would need to use some HTML/CSS like the example i provided here:

For displaying additional content below the post lists you can use a Block Element:

You can hook in after_main_content – see here:
