If you have multiple categories that are paged on your blog, you may want to show the Category Description only on the first category page.
You may wonder how can I achive this.
It’s not that hard to do it as long as you follow the steps I provide.
- Connect to your FTP account and search inside your theme folder for the file archive.php. If it’s a premium theme, you should have one in you main theme folder or mabe other subfolder.
- Once you’ve identified the file, go ahead and download (to have a backup copy might be a good idea) and then open it up for editing.
- Now you’ve got to identify something similar to the code below and replace it with this one.
[cc lang=”php”]
<?php
if (is_category()) {
$page = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1;
if ($page == 1) {
echo category_description();
//you don’t need to include the category id on the actual
// category page – wordpress figures it out.
}
}
?>
[/cc]
And that’s it, pretty simple eh?
