Instead of .custom #archive_info, try .custom #archive_intro It looks like Thesis has changed the name of that div. Instead of .custom #archive_info, try .custom #archive_intro

It's probably best to manually write the HTML for that in a function and attach it to the top of the page. Create a file called category.php, then put this in it: <pre> <?php add_action('genesis_before_loop', 'be_category_info'); function be_category_info() { if(is_category('category-name')): echo 'put info about Category Name here'; elseif(is_category('another-category')): echo 'put info about Another Category here'; endif; } genesis(); ?></pre> @Audrey, I don’t think so.

Will the category description allow images and several paragraphs of text? Looking to do something similar to SugarRae does with her category pages (through thesis). Thanks for your help - it's much appreciated! Sorry to keep asking more questions on this, but had one more question. Will the category description allow images and several paragraphs of text?

It will use the category title and category description, NOT the meta title and meta description, which is also editable from this screen.

This isn't just meta data. Is that correct? Thanks for your help with this. So this title and description (e.g., introduction) will appear on the category page when it is viewed.
