Display WooCommerce Product Dimensions via a Shortcode

Question

I am creating a custom layout (using Elementor) for a product - what I need is to have the dimensions of a product to display in a custom tab I have created.

Is there a shortcode for product dimensions? (some of the products are variable too if that makes a difference)

I have managed to get some code to display the long description in a shortcode (see below) however I'm not advanced enough to know what to do to get it to display product dimensions (length, width, height - ideally each one on a separate line)

Here is the long description code i found that works...

function custom_product_description($atts){
    global $product;

    try {
        if( is_a($product, 'WC_Product') ) {
            return wc_format_content( $product->get_description("shortcode") );
        }

        return "Product description shortcode run outside of product context";
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        return "Product description shortcode encountered an exception";
    }
}
add_shortcode( 'custom_product_description', 'custom_product_description' );

Does anyone can give me some help to display product dimensions via a shortcode?

Answer 1

You can use the following simple code snippet, to display product dimensions via a shortcode:

add_shortcode( 'product_dimensions', 'display_product_formatted_dimensions' );

function display_product_formatted_dimensions( $atts ) {
    // Extract shortcode attributes
    extract( shortcode_atts( array(
        'id' => get_the_ID(),
    ), $atts, 'product_dimensions' ) );

    $product = wc_get_product( $id );

    if( ! $product ) {
        return;
    } elseif ( $dimensions = $product->get_dimensions(false) ) {
        return wc_format_dimensions($dimensions);
    }
}

Code goes in functions.php file of your child theme (or in a plugin). It should work in WooCommerce 3 and above.

USAGE:

• On WooCommerce product single page: [product_dimensions]
• Anywhere with a defined Id (for example product Id 35): [product_dimensions id="35"]
• Inside a PHP file, you can use: echo do_shortcode('[product_dimensions]');

NOTE: It will display nothing if dimensions have not been defined for the product.
