WooCommerce Category Pages - How Can I add Custom Text On Each Page?

CMS & WordPress
1

I have about 63 separate category pages in the WooCommerce theme that I’d like to add a few lines of custom descriptive content to. Here is a sample page: https://danscartoons.com/cartoon-category/medical (see below breadcrumb link and word “Medical” above that thumbnail image?) <—that’s where I’d like to add a little text. Is this even possible or does Wordpress have it’s limitations? Curious…

Add some custom category fields? Many CMS’s give you that sort of option.

Alternatively create some entries for your category data, one for each category and show the appropriate entry on the first, or all, category pages.

I use Wordpress which has the WooCommerce theme for my shopping cart. It is through WC that I have my category pages like https://danscartoons.com/cartoon-category/computer set up, so that when you click an image, it opens up to a page taking the potential buyer to a shopping cart page with the ability to accept payments into PayPal via any CC.Question is, how to actually add text on those pages so if I add custom category fields, how do I actually build one? I’ll experiment with my first one pertaining to the URL mentioned here. Any info on that, would be phenomenal - thank you

I’m not sure how Wordpress works but here’s one method I’d use in some cicumstances:

  1. Create a channel for category entry content (or whatever WP calls content types, “post types”?)
  2. Create one entry per category and assign that entry to the relevant category
  3. In your category view template pull in the associated entry for that category either above or below the ecommerce content

Or alternatively as I suggested, if WP supports it, create some custom data fields for the categories and pull those into your template.

thanks…I definitely have Wordpress and the recent version. I need to find out how I can create these fields…it would be ideal, if I could insert a few lines of text near that trem ‘Medical’…just above (and across) those thumbnail images. Thnanks again - I’ll do some studying
