ਵੇਰਵਾ
Enables an editable description to display on post type archive pages. Show the description with WordPress’s the_archive_description()
function that also displays taxonomy term descriptions. Will work automatically with many themes, including most default WordPress themes.
Translations: Archive descriptions are translatable via Polylang, WPML (affiliate link), and qTranslate-X.
The Events Calendar: The archive description is automatically added above the Events Bar when using the latest templates from The Events Calendar. Filter the location of the description or disable it entirely with the ptad_tribe_template_before_include
filter.

ਅਕਸਰ ਪੁੱਛੇ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਸਵਾਲ
-
Is this plugin compatible with WordPress 5.0 / “Gutenberg”?
-
Yes. The plugin does not directly integrate with the post editor screen so no changes were required.
Be aware that as of 5 Dec 2019, it appears the Twenty Nineteen theme will not support post type archive descriptions by default. Unless something changes, you will need to manually add support for them in a child theme if using Twenty Nineteen. See the next FAQ for how to do that.
-
How do I display a custom post type’s description?
-
Use
the_archive_description()
orget_the_archive_description()
.Chances are you want this in the
archive-{post_type_slug}.php
orarchive.php
template files.As of v1.3.0 of this plugin, the archive description is automatically added to The Events Calendar archive pages using the plugin’s latest design.
-
Which post types get a description?
-
By default, any custom post type excluding Posts and Pages that was registered with
'has_archive' => true
. There is a filter (see below) to add support for any post type. -
How do I set up an editable description for my Blog / Posts?
-
Since this plugin does not support descriptions for Posts or Pages, I recommend a different approach.
First make the blog page (aka the “Page for Posts”) editable with this snippet in
functions.php
or anmu-plugin
:add_filter( 'replace_editor', 'ptad_enable_gutenberg_editor_for_blog_page', 10, 2 ); /** * Simulate non-empty content to enable Gutenberg editor on the Blog page * * @param bool $replace Whether to replace the editor. * @param WP_Post $post Post object. * @return bool * * @see https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/350563/9844 */ function ptad_enable_gutenberg_editor_for_blog_page( $replace, $post ) { if ( ! $replace && absint( get_option( 'page_for_posts' ) ) === $post->ID && empty( $post->post_content ) ) { // This comment will be removed by Gutenberg since it won't parse into block. $post->post_content = '<!--non-empty-content-->'; } return $replace; }
Then output that content on the blog page with the
home.php
template:echo '<div class="archive-description blog-description">' . apply_filters( 'the_content', get_the_content( null, false, (int) get_option( 'page_for_posts' ) ) ) . '</div>';
