VI Category Rich Editor
Price range: $0.00 through $19.00
Format WordPress category & taxonomy descriptions properly — finally
WordPress category and taxonomy descriptions are still stuck with a plain textarea.
No formatting. No links. No structure.
VI Category Rich Editor replaces that limitation with a clean, familiar rich-text editor — so your category and taxonomy descriptions can actually look like real content.
No frontend scripts. No theme hacks. No shortcodes.

-
Post Categories

Custom Taxonomies

🎯 Perfect For
-
SEO-driven content sites
-
Category-heavy blogs and archives
-
WooCommerce product categories
-
Location, topic, or directory taxonomies
-
Any site using taxonomy descriptions as landing content
If category descriptions matter to your layout or search visibility, this plugin solves a long-standing WordPress gap.
