When the Category description is set to hide and the title is hide and the Category description is not displayed a user cannot add a new item in the category from the Front-end because the link "Add a new item in this category" is not displayed...I can try doing some hacking but i think it should be shown even if you display only articles in that category without any category description

Try doing an override - search the "add a new item in this category" in category.php
Move it outside the if statement that hides it! This wont require hacking and wont be overwritten on update

Im sorry, that is not the final solution. The above will show the add item link....
There is something somewhere else that must also be changed....ill post when i find it

I think the code is in the core and im not sure if it can be overridden
in \components\com_k2\views\item in view.html.php
line 33 - 36

thanks for your help!
