Then, edit the menu item of that page via the Joomla menu manager and turn on the "show description" setting under the category or product options tab and it will display it there.

Thanks!")* Hi, From what I can see, that's because you changed the type of the menu item. Change it to "products listing", and under the "products options" tab, turn off the "show description" setting and save. Then, change the type back to "category listing" and save. It should then display the description only once.

Thanks!")* I tried what you suggested but I don't see no change - unless I'm doing something wrong. I made the changes you suggested to the Categories listing (ID 147), as per attached. You said change it to "Product Listing" so I assumed that you are referring to the categories menu. So not sure what I'm missing. - [ ![hikashop-menus.jpg](/forum/attachment/50218) ](/forum/attachment/50218 "...shop-menus.jpg") [ ](/forum/attachment/50218?download=1 "...shop-menus.jpg") Last edit: 6 years 3 months ago by [MyWorld](/forum/user/862-myworld "View MyWorld's Profile").

I think your issue is with the type of the menu item you're using in your categories listing module on the left sidebar. In it, you should select the "categories listing" instead of the "products listing" menu item in its settings. That way, the URL of the page you provided will be categories/category/264-face-masks.html instead of products/category/264-face-masks.html and you'll see that it will display properly.
