How To Edit Category Page

I'm trying to get the category page to show text that I fill in for the description of the category but nothing shows.

How do I do this?

Hello,
I've checked my Fest theme installation and can't see any issue with that, category description is visible. Could you send ma a private message with your website backend access? Then I'll be able to check the issue.

I thought about Speakers category (not default blog category), please edit your Fest/category.php file and add the following fragment:

Code: Select all

   <header>
      <h1 class="page-title">
         <?php echo single_cat_title( '', false ); ?>
      </h1>
      <?php
         $category_description = category_description();
         if ( ! empty( $category_description ) )
         echo apply_filters( 'category_archive_meta', $category_description );
      ?>
   </header>


after:

Code: Select all

<section id="gk-mainbody" class="category-page">
   <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
