Trying to make collection descriptions visible in Adartstudio Virgo theme

Hi! I’m running the Virgo theme for our store and Adarts is no longer answering support tickets. My big issue is that I can’t get collection descriptions to show up on the collection/category pages. I want this up for SEO purposes. I can enter text on the back end but it doesn’t show up on the site. I’m assuming I need to add code somewhere, but I have no idea where to start. Please help? Thank you!

Hi @Allyoops ,

Hope you are doing well. You can edit the code for your theme.

Please follow these steps:

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes > Select your theme.

  2. Click Actions > Edit code.

  3. Find the file name “collection-template.liquid” in the sections folder so you can add this snippet to where you want to set it.

{% if collection.description != blank %}

{{ collection.description }}

{% endif %}

If you can’t do that, you can add me as a staff. I’ll check it for you.

Hey @LitExtension - Thank you so much for the response! The notification got buried so I’m just seeing this. I tried your fix but it didn’t work - I’m 100% sure it’s user error on my part, because I have no idea what I’m doing. I’m not sure when in the template to insert the code, but I tried several things and the category description still isn’t showing up when I preview the changes.

I’m happy to hire someone to help, I just want to get this stupid thing fixed.
