Add line breaks in Category description via enter

My client wants to ad line breaks in category description via keyboard enter. In the editor the white space is added, but it is not shown on the website.

I can add it with   but I have to be able to do it by enter key.

I tried commenting out this in default-filters.php:

foreach ( array( 'pre_term_description', 'pre_link_description', 'pre_link_notes', 'pre_user_description' ) as $filter ) {
    add_filter( $filter, 'wp_filter_kses' );
}

But it didn’t work. Neither adding this to my functions.php:

$filters = array('pre_term_description', 'pre_link_description', 'pre_link_notes', 'pre_user_description');
foreach ( $filters as $filter ) {
    remove_filter($filter, 'wp_filter_kses');
}

Thanks!

You can use the standard PHP function nl2br for that

echo nl2br(category_description( $category_id ));
