Odd situation using the "header" element

Odd situation here...if I activate a "header" element on a category archive page then it strips away the description text that can be added to the category.

Here's what I mean, a category class of page has an ability to add text like this: https://prnt.sc/p1jqif

This works great normally, but I wanted to add a header element, which loads fine BUT it removed the text...

Any idea why?

Thanks!

Hi there,

if you use the {{post_title}} template tag in the header element then this strips the entry-header/page-header which in the case of archives also includes the description.

You can include the description in the header element using this template tag"

{{custom_field.description}}

Or you can use a hook to display the description:

<?php echo category_description(); ?>
