Add Product Description to WooCommerce product archive item

If you’d like to add a product description to products on archive pages, add one of the following snippets to your functions.php file or a custom functions plugin:

This snippet will add the Short Description below the product title:

add_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title', function() {
	the_excerpt();
} );

And here’s for the full description:

add_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title', function() {
	the_content();
} );

If you’d like to add the description somewhere besides below the title, refer to the WooCommerce Hooks Reference, and in particular the content-product.php reference document.

  • Hi, Why the short description goes to top of the product image and not below the product title?
