Adding Product Descriptions to WooCommerce Featured Products

As a WooCommerce store owner, you may find yourself wanting to enhance the shopping experience for your customers. One effective way is to provide more information about related products. This leads us to a common question:

How do I display the product description for featured products in WooCommerce?

In this guide, we’ll explore how to add product descriptions under the titles of related products in the WooCommerce section efficiently.

Understanding the Problem

WooCommerce helps display related products on single product pages, but it shows only essential details like the image, title, and price. Many store owners want to provide additional context—specifically, product descriptions—directly under the title of each related product. Unfortunately, this isn't available by default and requires some customization.

Solution: Adding Descriptions Below Product Titles

Step-by-step Implementation

To start displaying product descriptions under the titles of related products, you need to add a snippet of code to your theme's functions.php file. Don't worry; we’ll guide you through this process!

Code Snippet

Here's the code you'll need:

[[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]]

Explanation of the Code

Hook into WooCommerce:

The code uses the action hook woocommerce_shop_loop_item_title to insert content after the product title in a loop.

Global Variables:

It accesses global variables $woocommerce_loop and $product to determine the context in which it operates.

Conditional Check:

By checking if the $woocommerce_loop['name'] is set to 'related', you ensure that the description is only displayed for related products.

Display Description:

The get_description() method retrieves the product description, which is then echoed as an HTML paragraph.

Where to Place This Code

Open your active theme or child theme’s functions.php file.

Carefully paste the code snippet above at the end of the file, ensuring there are no syntax errors.

Save the changes.

Testing Your Changes

Once you have added the code:

Navigate to a single product page in your WooCommerce store.

Scroll down to the related products section to see if the descriptions appear as expected.

Ensure that the formatting aligns with your store's aesthetic.

Conclusion

By following the steps discussed, you can successfully display product descriptions underneath the titles of related products on your WooCommerce single product pages. This small tweak can significantly improve the clarity of your product offerings and provide a better shopping experience for your customers.

Happy Selling!
