Can the description be expanded to more characters?

Hello @moshe1111,

Use the same code but replace the number 100 in this line with the number of characters of your choice:

$excerpt = substr($excerpt, 0, 100);

Hope this helps. Best of luck with your website

Hello
Not working for me

Hello @moshe1111,

The code does function, I just tested it again on our end to double-check.

Make sure you haven’t missed anything and that you’ve cleared your browser cache afterwards.

To clarify, if you want to display 300 characters, this line should be:
$excerpt = substr($excerpt, 0, 300);

The rest of the code remains the same

Hello
This is what the code looks like on my site

function get_ecommerce_excerpt(){
  $excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
  $excerpt = preg_replace(" ([.*?])",'',$excerpt);
  $excerpt = strip_shortcodes($excerpt);
  $excerpt = strip_tags($excerpt);
  $excerpt = substr($excerpt, 0, 999);
  $excerpt = substr($excerpt, 0, strripos($excerpt, " "));
  $excerpt = trim(preg_replace( '/s+/', ' ', $excerpt));
  return $excerpt;
}

function prefix_short_des_product() {
    echo get_ecommerce_excerpt();
}
add_action( 'ocean_after_archive_product_title', 'prefix_short_des_product', 40 );

Snippet Code

And it doesn’t even show 100. Maybe 50.
