Hi,

Edit all the code instances of :
if(!empty($html))
to:
if(true)
in the file "listing" of the view "category" for your frontend template and that should do it.

Hello,

there are no products in this category and the description is not showing.
I also paste listing.php edit file:

Hi,

And you're sure that the description displays if there are products in the category ?
If you add a product in that category with the id 14, you get the description ?
To me it looks like you have the "show description" setting turned off in your menu item and that the description of the main category won't display regardless of the products in the category.
Can you check on that ?
