  Struggling to work out how to run shortcode in/after my category page header. It displays the text of the shortcode rather than running the code. Any help is appreciated.

  Its ok, found it. For others looking to do the same:

  in category-template.php file…

  function term_description( $term = 0, $deprecated = null ) {
  	if ( ! $term && ( is_tax() || is_tag() || is_category() ) ) {
  		$term = get_queried_object();
  		if ( $term ) {
  			$term = $term->term_id;
  		}
  	}
  	$cat = strtolower(get_term_field('name',$term ));
  	$description = get_term_field( 'description', $term ).'<p>' . do_shortcode('[display-posts include_date=true date_format="d-m-y" category="'. $cat.'"   no_posts_message="No '.$cat.'s today"]');
  
  
  	return is_wp_error( $description ) ? '' : $description;
  }
