In a Support topic titled How to turn off category logos and descriptions within the category and only have them on the Categories page, Drew-ART seeks to display category logos only on the main Categories page, without showing the accompanying description inside the category itself. maiki confirms the request and suggests using the Discourse Category Headers theme component, which offers granular control over category header elements. After testing, Drew-ART confirms the component achieves the desired behavior — hiding the description while optionally keeping the logo — though notes some styling conflicts with the Discourse Category Banners plugin, which they plan to fix with custom CSS. The visual comparison between the two plugins is shared in screenshots. osioke encourages marking maiki’s reply as the solution. The thread highlights how theme components can customize Discourse’s default category display, especially for users wanting cleaner layouts inside category pages.
I think i’m missing a way to turn off the image and description inside the category and sub category in Discourse.
I want the logo on the ‘Categories’ page, and am ok with it appearing in the category itself, but assigning a logo forces a Category description to appear inside the category alongside the logo which i don’t won’t.
Is there any way to have a category/sub category logo but not have the category description appear next to it?
Hi @Drew-ART. 
I’m not sure how to remove the description at this point, but I wanted to clarify to ensure I understand.
If we remove the description, do you want the logo to remain, so it will look similar to this?
Also, make sure to check how it looks on mobile! I always make changes and forget to check the mobile rendering… 
Thanks for your reply. I’d prefer to remove both i think for layout reasons, but i’m ok with either removing the logo + description, or just the description so that the logo only shows when users are browsing the categories page
Wow, check out:
It has an amazing array of options, and might provide you with what you need @Drew-ART
I added a description to my test category, and then changed the setting in the theme component. Before:
After:
I never really add more info to my categories than a description, but with that theme component now I want to.
Thanks for the quick reply. I played around with it and was able to recreate the behaviour i was looking for. The styling isn’t as nice as it was before the recent update caused a clash with the Discourse Category Banners plugin, but i should be able to improve it with CSS.
Here’s the difference:
Awesome! Care to mark @maiki’s response as a solution? 
I’ll delete this reply once you do.
