Filter to add something if description is empty

  • Hi, I have a client with several products (and variations) that may not contain a long or short description. I’m wondering if I can apply a filter to add something generic to the feed if a product doesn’t have a long description or short description.

    Here is what I have but I’m getting an error when generating my feed that reads: Call to a member function get_short_description() on bool

    add_filter( 'aepc_feed_item_description', function( $description, $item ) {
  $post = get_post( $item->get_id() );
  if ( ! empty( $post->post_parent ) ) {
    $post = get_post( $post->post_parent );
  }

  $product = wc_get_product($post);
  $description = $product->get_short_description();

  if ( empty($description ) ) {
    $description = 'Shop ' . $product->get_title();
  }

  return $description;
}, 10, 2 );

    Hi,

    sorry for the silly question, but it’s to be sure: are you using WooCommerce right?

    If so, you may change that snippet a little bit:

    
add_filter( 'aepc_feed_item_description', function( $description, $item ) {
	$id = $item->get_id();
	if ( $item->get_group_id() ) {
		$id = $item->get_group_id();
	}

	if ( $product = wc_get_product($id) ) {
		$description = $product->get_short_description();

		if ( empty($description ) ) {
			$description = 'Shop ' . $product->get_title();
		}
	}

	return $description;
}, 10, 2 );

    Let me know if it solves for you.
