There are two places the description field is editable.

1. Off WordPress Admin … Places > (listings) > the record.
2. From the url that looks like http://mysite.com/add-listing/?pid=5742

Within the second type of page, the geodir_before_description_field action will echo out information above the description field.

Within the first, that same action will not.

Is there another action that will echo out information in the first instance?

Tried to search Codex, but didn’t see anything else applicable.

Thanks for any help.

I don’t think there is an easy way to do that. I will flag the question for the developers who will let us know if there is.

You can use this WP hook:
```
/**
 * Fires after the title field.
 *
 * @since 3.5.0
 *
 * @param WP_Post $post Post object.
 */
do_action( 'edit_form_after_title', $post );
```
Thanks,

Perfect! Thanks much. I was searching for something with “description” in name of hook…duh! should have sought after_title, too!

Thanks. Having that above description in editing makes lots more sense — to me, anyway!

Appreciate your time.

This is the code for functions.php that I ended up with…and what it looks like.

Here’s hoping it will help someone out!
```
/* 
 * ADMIN - ADD LISTING - put information ABOVE the Description field that will become the 
 * Profile/About Us Tab on the Detail Page
 * There are two places the description field is editable.
 * 1. Off WordPress Admin … Places > (listings) > the record.
 * 2. From the url that looks like http://mysite.com/add-listing/?pid=5742
 * #1 is geodir_before_description_field
 * #2 is do_action( 'edit_form_after_title', $post );
 * Decided to style with CSS to look like fieldset on the two places discussed above.
 */
add_action('geodir_before_description_field', 'information_above_profile_field_when_editing');
add_action('edit_form_after_title', 'information_above_profile_field_when_editing');
function information_above_profile_field_when_editing(){
	$title_to_show = 'About Us Info';
	$info_to_show = 'Enter the narrative, ad-like information that will show on the Listing and Detail page.';

	$combined_to_show  = '<h5 class="geodir-fieldset-row"' . '>' . $title_to_show .'<small> ( ' . $info_to_show . ' )</small></h5>';

	echo $combined_to_show;
}
```
