How To Add Intro Text To Category Pages?
Sean Carney
I am using the Gazette template and love the flexibility of the layouts. I am wondering though if there is a way to add some introtext to the image layouts.
Here is an example of and image layout:
https://test1.theraliv.org/jewish-life/holy-days-videos/
On this page in the main component area there is: Image, Title, An Empty line and the Date created.
I would to place some introtext in the space empty space. How might that be done. Do you have a way, or a recommendation?

Accepted AnswerIndeed my mistake, I thought about category intro, not article intro.
Fixed, but I had to edit that file:
templates/shaper_gazette/html/com_content/category/blog_item.phpto add missing introtext code.

Accepted AnswerYou forgot to enable showing category description in Menu item settings. That's all. Now you can edit category "Holy Days" description and edit & add more text inside.
and my role ends here.

Accepted AnswerThank you for your reply. As always I appreciate your time.
You just showed me how to turn on the category description and image which is useful but not quite what I am trying to accomplish. If you look at the image that I included: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19NYZwqtrRJnkysipK2qwiCI9I1St_nPQ/view?usp=share_link
You will see an article at the top titled "First Jewish - Roman War" In the image, I added in bold text the words "How to place introtext in this space?". I would like to display introtext for each of the articles.
Is this possible with any of the settings or does this require modifying some css?
Thank you very much again.
