Code Snippet

When using WooCommerce on a WordPress site, you can show the products on the shop page as a grid, but depending on your theme, the product’s short description (excerpt) may not appear in the grid.

However, we can add the short description to the grid with the following.

PHP

Place the following code anywhere in your theme’s functions.php document.

				
					// add excerpt to product grid
function short_product_description() {
    ?>
    <h4>
    <?php
    the_title();
    ?>
    </h4>
    <?php
    the_excerpt();
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item_title', 'short_product_description', 40 );
				
			

We’d like to acknowledge that we learned a great deal of our coding from W3Schools and TutorialsPoint, borrowing heavily from their teaching process and excellent code examples. We highly recommend both sites to deepen your experience, and further your coding journey. We’re just hitting the basics here at 1SMARTchicken.
