    Hi guys,

    This plugin does not seem to fire on WooCommerce Category Archives? I added some debug echos to the filter hooks and they are firing, just filter() never gets called when displaying the category excerpt.

    Any tips? Main purpose for installing was to allow long category excerpts with a read more link.

    Thanks,
    Jason

    Hi,

    WooCommerce does not display an excerpt in the listing of products. So, will need a bit more info on how it was achieved. Is it a plugin or is it part of the theme? And which plugin/theme, so I can test it out.

    My understanding was that the excerpt is the category description that is displayed immediately under the category title before the products on product category pages. It’s part of base Woocommerce functionality.

    Cheers,

    Hi Jason,

    “The WordPress Excerpt is an optional summary or description of a post; in short, a post summary.”

    – WordPress Codex on “Excerpt”

    Excerpts are short description of posts that are shown on posts listing pages ( like the homepage on blog websites for example ), there’s an “Excerpt” field when adding/editing a blog posts, if that is not supplied then an excerpt is generated from the main content of the post.

    Category descriptions are not excerpts.

    You can use Allow HTML in Category Descriptions plugin which allows you to add custom HTML code in the description. So that way you can write a short description as part of the category and add a link after it that takes to a page with longer description of the category.

    A short textual description of the category.
