Hello,

I am struggling to find how to add the taxonomy description to each taxonomy page in my client's business directory.

When I edit the Directory archive, I try adding a dynamic single field above the archive loop, but the Post Taxonomy select has no options.

Am I missing something or is there a completely separate way of adding the taxonomy description to the archive template.

Cheers,

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

The use of the taxonomy term data and custom fields as a source in the archive blocks is not supported. But, you can use the shortcode "wpv-taxonomy-description" in a "Fields and Text" block to show the current taxonomy term's description:

[wpv-taxonomy-description]

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance with this.

regards,
Waqar
