How Do I Show the Category Description in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 16, 2023 @ 11:30 am

There are a few ways that you can show the category description in WooCommerce. One way is to simply go to the product page, and then click on the “Description” tab. This will show you the full description of the product, including the category.

Another way to show the category description is to go to the “Catalog” page, and then click on the “Categories” tab. This will show you a list of all the categories, along with their descriptions.

PRO TIP: If you are using WooCommerce to sell products on your WordPress site, you may want to display the category description on the category pages. This can be a useful way to provide more information about the products in that category. However, it is important to note that displaying the category description may cause your pages to load slower.

You can also use a plugin like WooCommerce Product Categories to display the category description on the product page. Simply install and activate the plugin, and then go to Settings -> Products -> Product Categories. From here, you can choose to display the category description on the product page, as well as other places like the shop page and product archives.

Finally, if you want to style your category descriptions, you can do so by editing your theme’s CSS file. For example, if you want to make the text bold, you would add this CSS:

WooCommerce-product-category__description {
font-weight: bold; }
