Please Clarify, It may be my understanding thats the issue, but did you say you want to show the category description right under the main category or subcategories?

Main Category description already works.. Which version are you using?
Again, please clarify so that I can give a more useful solution to your issue.
thanks!!!

Ok i thought as much...

When you add or edit any Category the Description field is there for you to populate with your desired description.

Do you see it? "Description"

Good :good:

For others that may want to know (this is how I did it)
Backup layout.php file before doing in case of mistake.

Open template layout.php and find:
$out .= "<div class=\"categ\"><a href=\"{$url}\">".htmlspecialchars($value['title']).$crossed."</a>{$cause}</div>";
The above will appear 2 times.
Now just below "each" one of those add this:
If you want the category description below the category link use:
$out .= "<div class=\"categ\">".htmlspecialchars($value['description']).$crossed."</div>";
If you want the meta description below the category link use:
$out .= "<div class=\"categ\">".htmlspecialchars($value['meta_description']).$crossed."</div>";
