## Beschreibung

Contextual Category Widget displays the name and description of the first category
assigned to the post currently being viewed.

The widget remains hidden on archives, pages, and posts whose first category has
no description. Its output uses the surrounding widget markup supplied by the active
theme.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate Contextual Category Widget.
 2. Add the widget to a widget area in Appearance > Widgets.
 3. Add descriptions to the categories you want the widget to display.

## FAQ

### What happens when a post has multiple categories?

The widget displays the first category returned by WordPress for that post.

### Can I choose a category in the widget settings?

No. The widget is intentionally contextual and uses the category assigned to the
current post.
