Wordpress Custom Post Type category description text
Hi! I installed the Custom Post Type UI plugin which makes it easy to create a custom post type. I have a page that renders the full list of posts in this custom post type - the standard "archive" page. But if you type in a category description for a custom post type, it doesn't seem straightforward how I would show this information on the given archive page for a custom post type category.
I'm not terribly strong in PHP, but I can modify (child) theme files to customize as needed.
I'm just not sure where to start. My custom post type name is 'protocols', and lets say my protocol category is "XYZ" with ID of '123'. Any recommendation on syntax and where I'd place this code to sense the current category page we are viewing and display the description text above the blog roll loop?
Thanks

This might be a good post for E-E Gigs. When you're not sure where to start, it's often helpful to have an expert take on the task and explain the solution step-by-step.

I have to admit, I haven't used EE in almost a year. A gigs project? In other words, instead of getting recommendations and code suggestions from someone who finds this question trivial, I should hire someone?

To put a more positive spin on it, I'd word it as offering out a package of work for a fixed price when a problem is too unclear or too difficult to get a solution through the free Q&A. But the hiring part is essentially correct, yes.
With the Custom Post Types I've added on my own site, there's no Category by default. Have you created a custom category (I think the official term is taxonomy)?
I think what you're asking for in this case is relatively simple, so probably doesn't justify using a (paid) Gig through complexity, though you may get a better response time.
