Shortcode Reference [cdfwsp_category_description] Display a product category description anywhere on your site — page builders, custom templates, or theme files. Works independently of the admin Display Option setting. Attributes part (default: full) Controls which part of the description to output: full — complete description ([cdfwsp_split] marker stripped from output). excerpt — excerpt part only (before the split point or word limit). rest — remainder part only (after the split point). Renders with a targetable anchor id for use with excerpt_anchor. excerpt_toggle — excerpt with a Load More button that reveals the full description. JavaScript is loaded automatically. excerpt_anchor — excerpt with an anchor link pointing to a part="rest" shortcode placed elsewhere on the page. No JavaScript required. id (optional) — product category ID. Takes priority over slug. slug (optional) — product category slug. taxonomy (optional) — restrict lookup to a specific taxonomy (default: product_cat). class (optional) — add a custom CSS class to the wrapper div. limit (optional) — override the excerpt word or character limit for this shortcode instance. limit_type (optional) — override the limit type: words or characters. show_read_less (optional) — show or hide the Read Less button: 1 = yes, 0 = no. load_more_text (optional) — override the Load More button text for this shortcode instance. If neither id nor slug is provided, the shortcode auto-detects the category from the current archive page. When using multiple attributes, place them all inside the same shortcode tag separated by spaces — not commas: [cdfwsp_category_description part="excerpt_toggle" limit="50" class="my-desc"] Examples Display the full description on the current archive page: [cdfwsp_category_description] Excerpt with a Load More button on the current archive page: [cdfwsp_category_description part="excerpt_toggle"] Excerpt with a Load More button for a specific category: [cdfwsp_category_description part="excerpt_toggle" slug="clothing"] Split view — excerpt above products, full text below (no JavaScript): [cdfwsp_category_description part="excerpt_anchor"] (place above products) [cdfwsp_category_description part="rest"] (place below products) Support If you have any questions, issues, or suggestions, please post them on the WordPress.org support forum.
