Category Description for WooCommerce vs WP Category Permalink

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. – 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 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.

This plugin allows you to select a main category (or taxonomy) for your posts for nicer permalinks and SEO. What it does? A custom structure such as /%category%/%postname%/ should be usually chosen for your permalinks. By default, this %category% is selected automatically (using the lowest ID) in the case your post is assigned to more than one category. This plugin will let you pick the category of your choice from the ‘Post Edit’ page. The chosen category is shown in bold on the ‘Posts List’ page and the ‘Post Edit’ page. Posts List Below the title, you will see the permalink currently set-up for this entry. If a heart is present, it means that the category (or taxonomy) has been picked up. Breadcrumbs They have their own way of working and can’t be supported automatically by default because they are created by specific themes or plugins. If you encounter issues with breadcrumbs, please say so in the Support Threads and let’s see how we can make it work. Compatibility It works with any theme or plugin that creates post types and taxonomies but it looks like it doesn’t work with the plugin called “Types”. You can use “Custom Post Type UI” instead. Please contribute It works for standard setups, but the plugin might be modified depending on the case. Don’t hesitate to participate in making this plugin better.
