  I’d like to be able to display the category description for each of the categories in our shop – both parent and child – either in an overlay below the h4 category title or underneath.

  Our theme has a filter which governs this layout, and any attempts I’ve made to adapt it and add an additional div or span by including echo category_description() inside the h4 title tags has been unsuccessful – [https://tinyurl.com/75mh5sv4][1]

  <div class="category-grid-item">
                          <a class="category-img" href="<?php echo esc_url( get_term_link( $c->slug, 'product_cat' ) ); ?>">
                              <?php
                                  $thumbnail_id = get_term_meta( $c->term_id, 'thumbnail_id', true );
                                  $image        = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $thumbnail_id, 'large' );
                                  $image        = isset( $image[0] ) ? $image[0] : wc_placeholder_img_src();
      
              
                              if ( isset( $image ) ) {
                                  ?>
                                  <img src="<?php echo esc_url( $image ); ?>" alt="<?php echo esc_attr( $c->name ); ?>" />
                                  <?php
                              }
                              ?>
                          </a>
                          <h4 class="category-title">
                              <?php echo esc_html( $c->name ); ?><span class="count"><?php echo esc_attr( $c->count ); ?></span>
                          </h4>       
                              
                  </div>
