Bug – Category description

Hello,

Please use the below CSS for now. We’ll fix the issue and update the theme.

span.nav-content {
    display: none;
}

Thank you

Hello, I just checked, I don’t know why but apparently, when you add a description to your product category, it automatically adds the description in your menu item when you add it to your menu.
Click the “Screen Options” tab at the top right of your screen and check the “Description” field. Then open your category menu item and delete the description.

Hi, thanks for fix ??

I Found a related issue not major ??

I create top level category pages using the Woocommerce short code as in the following example:

[product_categories per_page=”12″ columns=”3″ ids=”208, 207, 206, 205, 202, 214, 217, 212, 220, 225, 203, 219, 222, 221, 231, 213″]

If ‘Grid/list Buttons’ is Enabled and Default Catalog View is set to Grid View then the full category description is displayed under each category in Grid View.

(Appearance -> Customize -> Woocommerce ->archives -> Toolbar, Grid/list Buttons)

Hi, can you send me the page url where you have this problem?

Hi, yes,

This page:

https://dev.rhodesgreece.org.uk/hotels

Only some categories have descriptions but they are displaying in full under each hotel category.

Disabling ‘Grid/list Buttons’ fixes the problem.

Regards

Also the excerpt length setting only affects list layout not the descriptions that appear in grid layout

Hello, try this css code:

.woocommerce ul.products.grid .woo-desc {
    display: none;
}

Hi,
That worked great, thanks! ??
I placed the code in style.css in the child theme. I’m not a coder, is this the best place for the code?

Cheers!
John

Hi, yes perfect ??

Thanks great ??

You’re welcome ??

Hi,

Following on from this thread, I’m now adding short descriptions for each Woocommerce category as in the example below:

https://dev.rhodesgreece.org.uk/hotels/afandou

How can I limit the descriptions to around 200 characters on the following pages?

https://dev.rhodesgreece.org.uk/hotels

Hope you can help, thanks, John

Hello, you can control the excerpt length in the WooCommerce > Archive section of the customizer.

Hi,
The excerpt length only restricts the length of product descriptions as shown on the example “Afandou Bay Resort Suites” accommodation in the following page:

https://dev.rhodesgreece.org.uk/hotels/afandou

It doesn’t restrict the length of product category descriptions, if the category page is a list of subcategories as in the following page:

https://dev.rhodesgreece.org.uk/hotels

Ah yes, sorry, can you create a pre-purchase ticket on oceanwp.org? I will ask you more information.

Hi thanks, I’ve created a pre-purchase ticket as requested.
Hope you can help ??
