Category Description Not showing was created by Goble002
Hello,
using a a menu item to show a k2 category : 'Select a template' set to 'No'.
In K2 Categories :
- In 'Category item layout' > 'Select a template' set to 'No'. (Thus not using template override)
'Inherit parameter options from category' set to 'None'
- In 'Category view options' > 'Title' and 'Description' are set to 'Show'
The Cat Title and description are not showing, I've read all the past topics on that but no luck.
The code hereunder is there :

<?php if($this->params->get('catDescription')): ?>
<!-- Category description -->
<p><?php echo $this->category->description; ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

try starting from scratch
Create a new category with title TestCat Desc - put a desc into it and leave everything else default - set it to published
Create a new item and put some content text into it. select TestCat as the category - leave everything else default
Create a new menu item called Test Category Desc - select type K2 Category - select in options TestCat as the category - leave all default
Test the menu item - you will see the cat desc
Now, change the settings first in the TestCat and observe results
Next change the settings in the menu Test Category Desc - not to show - and observe results
Use the combination that suits your needs and apply to what your having problems with

Already did that, but Cat Title , 'Folder picture' nor description will show up.

Hello,
I've found out :
URL /menu-item-for-testcat/itemlist/category/78-testcat is OK
URL /menu-item-for-testcat is causing the issue.
So it has something to do with SEF I guess
Any idea ?

Check the menu item's settings in case they are overriding the category's.
