Re: Only one category description will not show

It's because the text is the same color as the background. Try highlighting it with your mouse cursor. Near as I can tell, the same is true of all your category descriptions.

Something like this in the stylesheet will make it white:

#indexProductListCatDescription {color:#ffffff;}

Re: Only one category description will not show

Primarily put the category descriptions in for the benefit of the bots.

Is it likely customers would want to read them? If so I can change the color and size. I figured customers would go by the images.

On my sreen the background is dark green and the text is black.

What do you see?

Thank You!

Re: Only one category description will not show

I would never buy something from a website based just on an image. I want all the information I can get, including model numbers and manufacturer, so I can compare your prices to other websites.

Doing anything 'just for the bots' is a risky business. I suggest catering to your customers and the bots will take care of themselves.

Your background is a very dark green - close enough to black that there isn't any real difference.

Re: Only one category description will not show

To clarify I was only refering to the category description vs the category image.

I thought customers would not read category descriptions and make category selections from the images.

Product info still is not established as I am still working on the layout.
