Second Category Description adds a separate formatted text area below the products on your PrestaShop category pages. Installation activates the standard position, and you write the first text in your existing category editor.
Detailed buying advice belongs on a category page, but a long introduction pushes products down. A second description keeps the short opening above the range and gives longer explanations their own space below.
You choose normal or full width, placement and compact previews for desktop and mobile. Each category, language and shop has its own text. By default, the block appears only on the first listing page; if a custom position disappears after a theme change, the standard position takes over.
Customers reach your products first and still find detailed guidance beneath them.
Second Category Description gives every category a second formatted content area that sits apart from the short introduction. The product list remains the main shopping surface, while explanations, buying guidance, comparison points and internal links receive the space they need below it.
The native category introduction remains available for a short explanation near the title. The second description begins after the product listing, so names, photographs, prices, filters and buying controls appear before the longer material. The merchant gains room for size guidance, range differences, answers to recurring questions and links to related categories without turning the first view into an article.
By default, the additional block appears only on the first page of a paginated category. Later pages remain focused on their next set of products instead of repeating the same long passage. When the text is extensive, a compact preview presents the opening portion and an accessible control expands the complete content. Separate desktop and mobile limits keep the same information available without filling a smaller screen at once.
The additional editor appears directly after the normal description in the category form. It accepts formatted text, headings, lists, images, tables and links, and it saves a separate value for each active store language. Older category forms receive the same multilingual editing flow, so the content programme does not split into two administration methods.
Each shop keeps its own category text. The dashboard counts categories with and without an additional description for the current shop, identifies missing language versions and lists recent changes with a direct route back to the relevant category. A large catalogue therefore becomes a measurable publishing plan rather than a collection of fields that nobody knows is complete.
The standard mode places the block in the normal area after the category listing and needs no placement work. Full-width mode creates a broader section while keeping its inner content aligned with the shop. For a theme with a different structure, the placement manager examines the active theme, follows its connected templates and ranks suitable category positions.
Accepting the selected position activates it immediately and confirms that the block appears on a real category page. Child themes receive their own minimal placement, so the parent theme remains untouched. Every saved placement has its own active state and width choice, while unsuitable positions from product, content or other page types stay outside the category workflow.
The module records the file and exact marked addition used for the selected placement. A later theme change is compared with the accepted state. If the position changes or disappears, the dashboard raises a persistent warning and the standard below-product position takes over immediately, so published category content does not silently vanish.
Removing one placement reverses only the marked module addition. Removing all placements reports the result for every affected file, keeps a recovery record for anything that could not be restored and never erases the route to a failed cleanup. The same safeguards apply when the module is removed from the store.
Installation enables the standard position and first-page-only behavior. The first useful result requires only a saved second description in the existing category form. The settings then open deeper control over module status, normal or full-width presentation, the outer content element, the design class, pagination and the compact view on desktop and mobile.
The shop retains ownership of every text. Where the platform has its own additional category field, migration begins with a preview, shows existing destination content and lets the merchant keep it or replace it category by category. The result reports copied, skipped and failed language values before the module storage is retired, so moving the content never becomes a blind overwrite.
Requires PrestaShop 1.6 or later and PHP 7.1 or later.
