Is there a shortcode for product description in Woocommerce



.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;

Is there any shortcode to call the product description(text field under the title)?



For now I'm using another custom field to do this job but it will be better if I use the woocomerce field.

          You can build your own shortcode this way:



          add_shortcode( 'product_description', 'display_product_description' );
          function display_product_description( $atts )
          $atts = shortcode_atts( array(
          'id' => get_the_id(),
          ), $atts, 'product_description' );

          global $product;

          if ( ! is_a( $product, 'WC_Product') )
          $product = wc_get_product($atts['id']);

          return $product->get_description();



          Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (active theme). Tested and works.



          Examples of USAGE [product_description]



          1) In the current product page ph:



          echo do_shortcode( "[product_description]" );


          2) In any php code providing the related product ID



          echo do_shortcode( "[product_description id='37']" );

          • Worked! But the text is no more recognizing 'enter' as a paragraph or break line, just if I use <p> or <br>. Also not recognizing woocomerce shortcode like that "[products class="suggestion" ids="686"]"(this is woocomerce default field..my other custom field is still working)

          • @Trooller Just inspect WordPress the_content() and get_the_content() available source code, to add in this shortcode function everything needed to get what you want.

          I wrote a very similar solution to @LoicTheAztec's answer above, but slightly more defensively (as his solution was breaking Elementor edits for me due to there not being a product context when it executes the shortcode on save).



          It also solves your paragraph/newline issue as the content is formatted (basically replacing newlines with <p> tags) before returning.



          function custom_product_description($atts)
          global $product;

          try
          if( is_a($product, 'WC_Product') )
          return wc_format_content( $product->get_description("shortcode") );


          return "Product description shortcode run outside of product context";
          catch (Exception $e)
          return "Product description shortcode encountered an exception";


          add_shortcode( 'custom_product_description', 'custom_product_description' );

            I wrote a very similar solution to @LoicTheAztec's answer above, but slightly more defensively (as his solution was breaking Elementor edits for me due to there not being a product context when it executes the shortcode on save).



            It also solves your paragraph/newline issue as the content is formatted (basically replacing newlines with <p> tags) before returning.



            function custom_product_description($atts)
            global $product;

            try
            if( is_a($product, 'WC_Product') )
            return wc_format_content( $product->get_description("shortcode") );


            return "Product description shortcode run outside of product context";
            catch (Exception $e)
            return "Product description shortcode encountered an exception";


            add_shortcode( 'custom_product_description', 'custom_product_description' );
