Adding PHP Includes to Woocomerce Description Fields

    Any WordPress Woocommerce experts out here?

    I’m trying to solve a problem. I want to add a PHP Include to a description field in a Woocommerce product so that I don’t have to change the wording on every single product… but rather I can just change the one file and have it reflect that change in every product instantly.

    <?php include("http://skullvault.com/product_disclaimer.php") ?>

    But, Woocommerce won’t display the content of that PHP file.

    Anybody know how to override Woocommerce like this?

    Try making your own shortcode. So your description might contain: [disclaimer]

    To give effect to the shortcode, you will need some lines in functions.php of your child theme:

    add_shortcode( 'disclaimer', 'disclaimer' );
function disclaimer() {
  $html = '<p>stuff ...';
  $html .= 'more stuff ... </p>'
  return $html;
}

    Passing parameters in the shortcode is possible with more effort.

    Thank you. I am new to this, so I’ll have to figure out how to add to the functions.php file. I’m not a PHP coder, so this should be fun.

    This is already a huge help. Thank you.
