When a category is selected by a customer I would like to send them to the products page for that category, which it does. But I would like the category description to display above the products in that category. Website is [ www.phoenixrbt.com](http://www.phoenixrbt.com). Select UTM kits and Ammo in the top, right side menu to see an example. Once selected a page displays showing 4 categories. The Rifle Conversion kits has a description created but it doesn't display. Thank you.
