Add category description if it exists

February 28th, 2014

Add the category description to your category templates, but only if it exists. This also wraps the description in div tags.

<?php
$category_description = category_description();
if ( ! empty( $category_description ) )
echo apply_filters( 'category_archive_meta', '<div class="description">' . $category_description . '</div>' );
?>

<?php

$category_description = category_description();

if ( ! empty( $category_description ) )

echo apply_filters( 'category_archive_meta', '<div class="description">' . $category_description . '</div>' );
