Add custom content to WooCommerce product description


I'm trying to inject some text in my description ending. Is it possible with filter?

Or do i need to do this via child theme? Been trying to find the hook for description but can only find one for short description. Example:

This is a description.

Just some sample text to fill the description out.

What i want is to inject "This is the last line in the description" So the hole description would look like this.

This is a description.

Just some sample text to fill the description out.

This is the last line in the description

The code i have for injecting text before short description is this:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_short_description', 'single_product_short_descriptions', 10, 1 );
function single_product_short_descriptions( $post_excerpt ){
    global $product;

    if ( is_single( $product->id ) )
        $post_excerpt = '<div class="product-message"><p>' . __( "Article only available in the store.", "woocommerce" ) . '</p></div>' . $post_excerpt;

    return $post_excerpt;
}

Solution

  • You can use this custom function hooked in the_content filter hook this way:

    add_filter( 'the_content', 'customizing_woocommerce_description' );
    function customizing_woocommerce_description( $content ) {
    
        // Only for single product pages (woocommerce)
        if ( is_product() ) {
    
            // The custom content
            $custom_content = '<p class="custom-content">' . __("This is the last line in the description", "woocommerce").'</p>';
    
            // Inserting the custom content at the end
            $content .= $custom_content;
        }
        return $content;
    }
    

    Code goes in functions.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works.


    Addition - Force product description when is empty (if you want this custom text to be displayed):

    add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', 'force_description_product_tabs' );
    function force_description_product_tabs( $tabs ) {
    
        $tabs['description'] = array(
            'title'    => __( 'Description', 'woocommerce' ),
            'priority' => 10,
            'callback' => 'woocommerce_product_description_tab',
        );
    
        return $tabs;
    }
    

    Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works.
