I've enabled the view of my taxonomy terms and am confident that I should be able to display the term description on this page. But, I'm forgetting how. 

Any reminders?

Maybe tokens in the "header" field for the view? (It's not clear that tokens are available there.)

Accepted answer

I got this to work. 

I solved the "duplication" issue with these two settings:

A [description] token in the Views Header (Global: Text area) works under certain conditions:

  • The view has a relationship "Content: Taxonomy terms on node".
  • It has a field "Taxonomy term: Term description" with the term relationship.
    (If the view doesn't use fields, enable the "Force using fields" option.)

Drawback of the approach: The relationship causes duplicates. I don't recall how to fix them.

Another solution. You can create a Views Block for a Taxonomy term that gets the term ID from the URL and display a description of the term. Output a block into Content under the Title with a URL condition (like tags/*).
