Hello, I’d like the descriptions I added to my collections to display on the catalog. The collection titles are visible but not the descriptions. Is there a way to enable this? The theme editor allows me to tick “Show Description” but it still does not show. Theme = Refresh

Well, maybe we are on different versions of the theme. Anyways, all you have to do is look for something like this Maybe ctrl+f and search for “banner__text” (there’s two underscores there) [ThePrimeWeb_0-1710606350946.png] and just add the code before the {%- endif -%}

Hey @HistoricGardens , Can you share the link to the page with this collection set? Thanks!

Hi @HistoricGardens If you share your store URL and password with me, I will check and provide you with the solution.

Hey @HistoricGardens , Instead of the regular Collection Banner, are you using a slideshow section instead?

Good grief. The ONE collection that the default setup shows when I am in design mode is the one collection that does not have a description. I feel a bit silly now. Thank you for that! That being said, I actually liked having the slideshow as the title, design-wise… but it will not grab the descrip…

Hey @HistoricGardens , That’s alright haha! Actually you can have the slideshow if you want to. To add the description just do the following: Go to your theme’s “Edit code” option and search for slideshow.liquid. At line 179 (assuming this code was never edited before), the line show say {% end…

OK, great! I may try that and see how it looks. Our collection descriptions are kinda long right now so once we pare them down a bit in size that may be a good option. I have not yet played with any of the actual coding in the theme - but this will be a good experiment. (I saw reference to “metafie…

Found it. Inserted code, and it works. Descriptions are far too long right now for that to look right, so have made invisible. But now I have the option of either.

Thanks you so much for your advice - I appreciate the help!
