Does anyone know why my taxonomy terms all of the sudden are not displaying the description above the content on the term pages? And how I can get those descriptions back on my site? Thanks in advance!

Check the following:

  1. Try clearing your site cache at admin/config/development/performance.
  2. Check that the description is configured to be visible at <admin/structure/taxonomy/[vocabname]/display.
  3. Try using an unmodified core theme, like Seven or Bartik, and see if the description is visible then.

Also, make sure that you have not overridden the default display with a view. The default taxonomy/term view provided will not show your descriptions.

PROBLEM PROBLEM PROBLEM-

When I navigate to /admin/structure/taxonomy/tags all that I get is a white screen. My descriptions have stopped showing up as well on the taxonomy pages that I created descriptions for.

What is going on here and more importantly how can I fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ahead of time.

Figured it out!

The View "Taxonomy term" overrides the output of all your Taxonomy term pages. Therefore, the Taxonomy term description field does not printed. I also noticed that you do not need the View "Taxonomy term" enabled. So, just follow these instructions:

1. Disable the View "Taxonomy term" through Home » Administration » Structure » Views [see attached taxonomy-term-view-disablement.jpg]
2. Clear Drupal cache. To do this go to Administer » Site configuration » Performance » Clear cached data.
3. Finally you will see printed your Taxonomy term descriptions

Closed finally!
