How can I show the gategory description in WordPress using Grantry 5?
I want to display a Mosaic RokSproket layout in the Gantry description to display the articles in that category and not show the standard blog layout.
regards

Hi Damir
I want to show the roksprocket on the category description page so need to be able to display the category description.
Then I want to not show the article using the standard WordPress category browse as I will be seeing them on the deciption page via RokSprocket.
This is how I am showing RokSprocket on the main blog page.
please do not use any of the menu options at the top as this will divert you to another site.
The issue I have is that when you open an article you see the article fine with options to view individual categories which I want to be laid out in the same was as the main blog page. But the Standard for category browse is to display a list of articles. If I can add a category descrition to this page then I can add a RokSprocket for each category and remove the standard category browse view.
For instance Lifestyle category . I was to show a description at the top which will contain a RokSprocket Mosaic for that category.
I hope this is a better explanation.
regards

Discovered how to do this and here is what I did.
In theme/views I edited the archive.html.twig
I added this after End Page Header
{{ function("category_description") }} - This image is hidden for guests.

If you want to not remove any html coding the use this instead.
{{ gantry.platform.filter(function("category_description"))|html|raw }} -
