Introduction

This tip will help you modify the category template for your WooCommerce product categories to display the Category title and description above the product listing and filter drop down.  WooCommerce templates receive the most change via updates to stay compatible with the plugin, so it is important to bookmark this article or make note of your changes so you can re-do them again in the future if an update overwrites the template file.

This is considered a modification, and is provided as-is. We expect you understand what you are doing if applying coding changes using these or other WordPress tutorials. Make a backup of your existing file so you can replace it if something goes wrong and you need to start over. Modified files WILL probably be replaced by a theme update at some point, so keep note of your changes for future reference or see our guides below. We cannot assist you with modifying your theme or support problems you encounter as a result!
