Category description question

Hello,

I am wondering if someone can help please?  I have 5 categories which are linked to the parent category.  However, the parent category does not have any products linking to it.  When I am then clicking on the parent category, it does not show the 'Description' for that category.  It only shows the description if I have a product associated to it (even though I do not need any products linking to it).

Is there anyway that I can have the category description appear without having any products linking to it?

Thank you,

Pritesh

Hello,

It can be possible by customization on category decription page

There is no option -- u have to check the code of the category default.php file

it probably has an if statement around the

<div class="category_description">
      <?php echo $this->category->category_description; ?>
   </div>

find why it doesn't display if no products
