Editing single products

    I’ve added a product, and right now I uploaded a Featured Image and put down the product information under the Product Short Description field.

    What I want to do now is to write a summary of the product at the top of the page. I realize to do that, though, is that I’d have to edit or create the hooks in the plugin’s template folder. I’ve already added a copy of the short-description.php file and increased the width of the container for the short description field. But how do I create the new field? Is there a hook in the plugin’s templates folder that I can change or do I need to create one?

    Why don’t you use short description for your summary and the main content area for the full content? Thats how it was intended to be used.

    Never mind, I eventually worked it out.

    First, I took a copy of the content-single-product.php file from woocommerce’s plugin folder, and then I put it into my child theme folder.

    I grabbed this block of code under <!– .summary –>:

    <?php
    /**
    * woocommerce_after_single_product_summary hook
    *
    * @hooked woocommerce_output_product_data_tabs – 10
    * @hooked woocommerce_upsell_display – 15
    * @hooked woocommerce_output_related_products – 20
    */
    do_action( ‘woocommerce_after_single_product_summary’ );
    ?>

    …and moved it up to the top, before <div itemscope itemtype=”<?php echo woocommerce_get_product_schema(); ?>”.

    And then finally, I went to the functions.php file, and added these lines at the bottom of the page:

    remove_action( ‘woocommerce_single_product_summary’, ‘woocommerce_template_single_title’, 5 );
    add_action( ‘woocommerce_before_single_product_summary’, ‘woocommerce_template_single_title’, 5 );

    I should also mention that changing the code and adding the actions here don’t remove or add fields, but instead they re-arrange the short description field to appear on the top of the page.
