Hi Vidmantas
That’s because Category Fields module doesn’t support widgets.
You can ask developer to add widgets support, here is more information https://devdocs.prestashop-project.org/8/modules/concepts/widgets/

But how that module work with Classic theme, maybe it uses some special hook?

To display the content on your category page you will need to add the short code below to your category template. Your category template
can be located in the file below:

{site_root}/themes/{theme_name}/templates/catalog/listing/category.tpl

{block name=’product_list_bottom’}
{hook h=’categoryField’ name=’test’}
{/block}

But how it will affect the Alysum theme? Can I make these changes. I tested on native theme and it works.
