 * 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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hooked/)
   > woocommerce_output_product_data_tabs – 10 * [@hooked](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hooked/)
   > woocommerce_upsell_display – 15 * [@hooked](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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.
