Category Description for WooCommerce
Category Description for WooCommerce allows WooCommerce store owners to customize how product category descriptions are displayed. With advanced options for positioning and formatting, you can better showcase your products and improve SEO optimization. Key Features: Add custom descriptions for each product category. Add custom descriptions for product tags too — tag archives are detected with WooCommerce’s is_product_tag(). Position descriptions above products (full text or excerpt). Position descriptions below products. Combine above and below positions with full and excerpt views. Use a “Load More” button to expand excerpted descriptions. Seamless integration with block-based (FSE) and classic themes. Avoid duplicate content with customizable display options. Edit descriptions easily with the WordPress editor. Use the [cdfwsp_split] marker to define an exact split point in the description, overriding the word limit. Use the [cdfwsp_category_description] shortcode to display descriptions anywhere: page builders, custom templates, or theme files. Why Choose This Plugin? Enhance user experience and SEO by having full control over the display of your WooCommerce product category descriptions. This plugin is lightweight, easy to use, and works seamlessly with most WordPress themes. Shortcode Reference [cdfwsp_category_description] Display a product category or product tag 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 or tag ID. Takes priority over slug. slug (optional) — product category or tag slug. Outside the term’s own archive page, a slug is looked up in product_cat unless taxonomy is set — use taxonomy="product_tag" for tags. taxonomy (optional) — restrict lookup to a specific taxonomy: product_cat or product_tag (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 or tag 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"] Full description of a specific product tag: [cdfwsp_category_description slug="summer" taxonomy="product_tag"] 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.
