Navigate to Products > Categories in your WordPress dashboard > Edit the category where you’d like to add the description and add your content to the “Description” field: https://ibb.co/DgZSj7d
This demo is using Custom WooCommerce Builder layouts, which are part of WooCommerce Builder from WoodMart. So, navigate to Layouts > Edit Product Archive Layout and add an archive description widget in the layout: https://ibb.co/rRQdrg8k to show the description widget.

EcommerceParticipantI understood this first part and I did it like every other time until now, but I didn’t understand this second part, how can I now put the description I wrote on each category?
January 13, 2026 at 10:15 am #704151Hello,
The first part (Products > Categories > Description) is where you write the content for each category. That content exists, but it won’t automatically appear unless your layout has a widget to display it.
Since your demo uses Custom WooCommerce Builder layouts, you need to add the “Archive Description” widget to your category/archive layout:
1. Navigate to Layouts > Edit Product Archive Layout in your dashboard.
2. Add the “Archive Description” widget to the layout where you want the category description to appear.
3. Save the layout. Now, the description you wrote for each category will show automatically on the frontend.This way, each category’s description will be displayed according to the layout you’ve set.
Here’s the official guide for reference: https://xtemos.com/docs-topic/woodmart-woocommerce-layout-builder/

Navigate to Layouts > Edit Product Archive Layouts with Elementor.
Edit the layout you’re using > In the Layout Settings / Conditions, make sure it is assigned to Product Category archives (or “All product categories”).
Then add the Archive Description element inside that layout and save.

EcommerceParticipantDo you mean this part, so how can I see what I’m editing when it doesn’t show me text or anything?

What you see in the layout editor is a dynamic template, so the content is pulled automatically from each category. The Archive Description element will display the category description on the front-end, but in the editor, it may appear empty.
To check it, save the layout and preview a category page on your site — the description will appear there.

EcommerceParticipantI understand, but how can I edit that description to look like I want, for example, to color the letters so that the title is bold?
January 17, 2026 at 9:57 am #704815Hello,
By default, WooCommerce shows a plain text editor for the Products > Categories > Description field, so you won’t see Visual/Text tabs or formatting buttons there.
The editor type is controlled by WooCommerce / WordPress, not by Woodmart.
Some plugins (for example, Yoast SEO) replace this field with a WYSIWYG editor. Even in the plain editor, you can add basic HTML manually, for example:<h2>Your title</h2> <p>Your description text</p>You can install a plugin like Yoast SEO (or similar) to convert the category description field into a visual editor with toolbar controls.

EcommerceParticipantI did a great job, now I need help, can I put a description of the categories, but this time blog categories?
January 26, 2026 at 8:52 pm #706151
EcommerceParticipantI got it, I just needed to publish the post to show it in the category.
January 27, 2026 at 10:13 am #706206Hello,
Great, glad you figured it out!
Yes, for blog categories, you can add a description in Posts > Categories > Edit Category > Description, and it will show on the category archive. If you have any questions feel free to contact us.
Best Regards,
