Why isn't my collection description showing on Fashionopolism theme?

Store Design
1

Hi - I know this has been asked and solved before but this seems specific to my theme. I have the collection title appearing but cannot understand where/what to do with the code to allow the collection description to appear also. I understand the solution to this is posted elsewhere but it doesn’t seem to relate to the code for my theme.

Theme I am using is Fashionopolism version 4.3.2, if that makes a difference.

I really need a basic copy/paste/insert code here solution, as I am not that proficient.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @omnis ,

Can you share your store URL? Also, share the link to the tutorial that you followed (which didn’t work for your store).

Hi @omnis ,

Please send me the code of collection-template.liquid file, I will check and guide you in detail

Hi there

I am having the same issue, but can’t find a solution from other posts given the unique nature of my theme. The full code for my collection.liquid file is pasted below. I would just like the collection description to appear below the colelction title, such as on this page: https://www.glowwormbicycles.com.au/collections/urban-commuter

I’d appreciate any help :slightly_smiling_face:
