[Resolved] Moving the category description to the bottom

[Silko]

Hi there,

I am using the categories for a small directory like you can see here: https://www.notargebuehren.com/notar-berlin/

I am using the child theme. How can I move the category description to the bottom? I want that the user first see the posts in the category and after that the category description.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best regards,

Silko

Hi there,

Try this PHP:

add_action( 'wp', function() {
    remove_action( 'generate_after_archive_title', 'generate_do_archive_description' );

    if ( is_archive() ) {
        add_action( 'generate_after_main_content', 'generate_do_archive_description' );
    }
} );

Hi Tom,

thank you! It works so far. The problem now is that the category description is twice on the page (duplicate: top and bottom). How can I remove it from the top?

[Leo]

I’m looking at this page: https://www.notargebuehren.com/notar-berlin/

And only see the description at the bottom?

Am I missing something?

[Silko]

Hi Leo,

please reload the page and have a look.

Thank you. This is the function:

add_action( ‘wp’, function() {
remove_action( ‘generate_after_archive_title’, ‘generate_do_archive_description’ );

if ( is_archive() ) {
add_action( ‘generate_after_main_content’, ‘generate_do_archive_description’ );
}
} );

Thank you!

[Leo]

I tested the code and it worked perfectly for me.

Can you try clearing and disabling Cachify and Autoptimize first?

[Silko]

Hi Leo,

I cleared the cache of the autoptimize and cachify theme. I also deactivated them. The category description is still displayed on top and the bottom.

Do you want to have a look into the backend?

[Tom]

Hi there,

Do you have any other functions on the site?

If you’d like, you can send temporary admin login details and we’ll take a closer look: https://generatepress.com/contact

This function is the issue: generate_archive_title()

What is it doing, exactly?

[Silko]

I have no idea to be honest.

Edit: I guess it adds the word “Notar” in front of the category title. So at the end the archive title will be for example “Notary Washington”.

[Tom]

If you remove that function, does it fix the issue?

[Silko]

It works!

Thank you @ all.

[Tom]

You’re welcome 🙂

Hi,

I try to use it but the description is shown also in top & bottom. Pls see it in https://www.wildboarcoffee.com/espresso-machines/delonghi/

I used child theme also. I did clear all cache (used Litespeed) but it don’t work. Code in the functions.php is

add_action( 'wp', function() {if ( is_single() ) {add_filter( 'generate_show_post_navigation', '__return_false' );}} );
add_action( 'wp', function() {
remove_action( 'generate_after_archive_title', 'generate_do_archive_description' );

if ( is_archive() ) {
add_action( 'generate_after_main_content', 'generate_do_archive_description' );
}
} );
