By default there are not settings for this provided by the WordPress CMS unfortunately. You'll have to install a SEO plugin in order to add/change the meta description tag of the category and tag pages.
Thanks for your fast answer. I have YOAST installed and can add a meta description to the taxonomy pages.
However, this is not what I am talking about. I would like to add an onpage description text for category/tags. This is mainly for SEO purposes. The meta description tag is not taken into account for ranking, onpage text is.
If this is not implemented in the current version of the Landscaper theme, consider adding it as an option in the next one.
I agree that there should be an option to display this text as "onpage" text within our theme settings. We will include that within the following update.
For now, you can display this by adding the following line:
Is there a way to have the description of blog categories appear on a page?
Same for tag descriptions.
Currently, this description only appears in the meta:og tag.
It would be useful to provide rich text descriptions for both of these archive types.
Hi there,
Thank you for your message.

The best SEO plugins for this are Yoast SEO or Rank Math SEO

BTW: I tried to find the category.php or archive.php files in the theme to add it there, but they are not in the theme folder.

I see, thank you for clarifying.

to line 44 of the "index.php" file of the theme (see attachment).
