Short description below product

Here’s the solution I came up with. This goes in your theme’s functions.php:

add_action('add_meta_boxes', 'product_title_desc_box');
add_action('save_post', 'product_title_desc_save', 1, 2);

function product_title_desc_box(){
    add_meta_box('product_title_desc_box', 'Product Title Description', 'product_title_desc_form', 'product','side', 'core');
    wp_nonce_field( basename( __FILE__ ), 'smashing_post_class_nonce' );
}
function product_title_desc_form($post){
    wp_nonce_field( basename( __FILE__ ), 'product_title_description_nonce' );
    $value = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'title-description', true);
    ?> <p><label for="title-description">Enter a short description to be displayed below the title in the catalog pages</label>
        <br />
        <input type="text" name="title-description" id="title-description" value="<?php echo $value ; ?>"/>
    </p>
    <?php
}

function product_title_desc_save($post_id, $post ){
    if(!isset( $_POST['title-description']) || !wp_verify_nonce($_POST['product_title_description_nonce'], basename(__FILE__)))
                {
        return $post_id;
                }
                 $post_type = get_post_type_object( $post->post_type );

    /* Check if the current user has permission to edit the post. */
    if ( !current_user_can( $post_type->cap->edit_post, $post_id ) )
        return $post_id;

                $description = $_POST['title-description'] ;
                 update_post_meta( $post_id, 'title-description', $description);

}
add_action('woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title','add_title_description',9);
function add_title_description(){
  echo get_post_meta($product->id, 'title-description', true)? '<span class="title-description">' . get_post_meta($product->id, 'title-description', true) . '</span><br />' : '';
}

There’s no clean way to do this as that widget doesn’t use any filter or action hooks and no template files

Temporarily, you could modify woocommerce/widgets/widget-best_sellers.php
by replacing this line:

</a> <?php echo $product->get_price_html(); ?></li>

with this:

</a> <?php echo get_post_meta($product->id, 'title-description', true)? '<span class="title-description">' . get_post_meta($product->id, 'title-description', true) . '</span><br />' : '';

 echo $product->get_price_html(); ?></li>

but it’s probably a better idea to create a plugin to essentially duplicate this widget with your customizations

Same here, I see no “Product Title Description” field on the post edit screen! ;(

@cjubewa:
that chunk of code only adds a field for a postmeta value. You also have to modify something else to display that value.

where do you want to display it? category/archive pages? single product page? both? something else?

Hi , can you give me an example how to call that value in shop page? Thanks!
