    Hi,

    I’m using this code to display short description on the shop page
    add_action( ‘woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title’, ‘woocommerce_template_single_excerpt’, 5);

    How can make it so that their is a limit as to how much short description shows on the shop page around 2 lines or something?

    Thanks
    Zak

    Hey Zak,

    Please share the woocommerce_template_single_excerpt function, it is the one that can be used to work with the excerpt length.

    Best regards,

    Hi Victoria,

    Im assuming its this:
    if ( ! function_exists( ‘woocommerce_template_single_excerpt’ ) ) {

    /**
    * Output the product short description (excerpt).
    */
    function woocommerce_template_single_excerpt() {
    wc_get_template( ‘single-product/short-description.php’ );
    }
    }

    Apologies if I got the incorrect part.
    FYI I added this code: add_action( ‘woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title’, ‘woocommerce_template_single_excerpt’, 5); – in the child theme functions.php.

    Thanks
    Zak

    Hi Zak,

    Here is the code you can put in your funtions.php

    
add_filter('woocommerce_short_description','avia_change_wc_description', 10, 1);
function avia_change_wc_description($length)
{
   $length = 100;
   return $length;
}

    If you need further assistance please let us know.

    Hi Victoria,

    Unfortunately, that does not work. It basically removes the text and instead says “100” under each product.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I’ve got the short description working using the following code:

    add_filter(‘woocommerce_short_description’, ‘limit_woocommerce_short_description’, 10, 1);
    function limit_woocommerce_short_description($post_excerpt){
    if (!is_product()) {
    $pieces = explode(” “, $post_excerpt);
    $post_excerpt = implode(” “, array_splice($pieces, 0, 18));

    }
    return $post_excerpt;
    }

    Is it possible to add ‘…’ after the sentences?

    Thanks
    Zak

    Hi Victoria,

    One last question.

    Is it possible end the sentences with “…”? What code would I need to add to the current code?

    Thanks

    Hi Zaki,

    Try the return statement like this

    
return "{$post_excerpt}...";
