still very useful

I Have still pages with the old themes and this is really useful for adding text on the category pages. This topic was modified 1 year, 2 months ago by Daniel.

Great plugin – works with WP 6.3

Great plugin to allow you to make your term descriptions more visually appealing. It works just fine with WP 6.3 in lieu of implementing the block editor for term descriptions.
