Category description not showing up

[Gretl]

The category description on my category page is not showing up. Instead it is in a hover text when I hover over the category in the menu. Any idea on how to fix this?

bump

[Gretl]

any ideas?

As I understand it, the branch has died? Oh, and I was so hoping to find an easy rapid solution.

Why do branches die?
Because the version of Prestashop is not mentioned nor what template is used. In addition, it is always good to add other information and not to add the "bump" query....
