Hello,

As the title says, I would like to display the product short description or a custom field I created in each of the products in the category page. Currently the product grid only shows the Featured Image and the product Title.

I have been searching online and I found some code for function.php but they don’t work in my site. For example this one:
```
add_action('woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title', 'description_in_shop_loop_item', 3 );
function description_in_shop_loop_item() {
    global $product;

    // HERE define the number of words
    $limit = 10;

    $description = $product->get_description(); // Product description
    // or
    // $description = $product->get_short_description(); // Product short description

    // Limit the words length
    if (str_word_count($description, 0) > $limit) {
        $words = str_word_count($description, 2);
        $pos = array_keys($words);
        $excerpt = substr($description, 0, $pos[$limit]) . '...';
    } else {
        $excerpt = $description;
    }

    echo '<p class="description">'.$excerpt.'</p>';
}
```
Is there any way to make it work? Or maybe you know about a plugin to achieve this?

I will give you access to my site in Private content in case that helps.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Kind regards

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

Hello,

Please note that additional customizations are not covered under our Support Policy. But we’ve made it for you (woocommerce folder in the child theme – content-product.php and content-product-slider.php files).
Please check.
