[Support request] Show Category Description in Elements Header

[Matias]

Hi all.
Im using Elements Header in my web site for Home, Post, pages and archives pages.
In post, pages and archives pages Im using the {{post_title}} and it works fine.
I want to add the category description to Archives pages and I add the {{custom_field.description}} in Archives Pages Element Header but no description is showing.
Any help?
Thank

Can you link me to the page where the shortcode is added?

[Matias]

A category page:

Can you do this first?

Sorry, I have to enable cache plugin again.
I think the problem is that Im trying to use a shortcode in a Header Elements and this one hasnt execute shortcodes option

[Leo]

Think there is a syntax error with the shortcode snippet.

Can you try this snippet instead?

The shortcode should execute by default.

Let me know 🙂

Tested and no description ins showed in Category pages when I add the [term_description] shortcode to Elements Archive Hero

Hi there,

{{custom_field.description}} should work fine. Can you confirm that you’ve added descriptions to your categories?
