The shop page of WooCommerce is based on the archive-product.php
file. In this file, a loop is called:
<?php woocommerce_product_loop_start(); ?>
<?php woocommerce_product_subcategories(); ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php
/**
* woocommerce_shop_loop hook.
*
* @hooked WC_Structured_Data::generate_product_data() - 10
*/
do_action( 'woocommerce_shop_loop' );
?>
<?php wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'product' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
In this loop, product data is generated:
public function generate_product_data( $product = null ) {
if ( ! is_object( $product ) ) {
global $product;
}
if ( ! is_a( $product, 'WC_Product' ) ) {
return;
}
$shop_name = get_bloginfo( 'name' );
$shop_url = home_url();
$currency = get_woocommerce_currency();
$markup = array();
$markup['@type'] = 'Product';
$markup['@id'] = get_permalink( $product->get_id() );
$markup['url'] = $markup['@id'];
$markup['name'] = $product->get_name();
if ( apply_filters( 'woocommerce_structured_data_product_limit', is_product_taxonomy() || is_shop() ) ) {
$this->set_data( apply_filters( 'woocommerce_structured_data_product_limited', $markup, $product ) );
return;
}
if ( '' !== $product->get_price() ) {
$markup_offer = array(
'@type' => 'Offer',
'priceCurrency' => $currency,
'availability' => 'https://schema.org/' . $stock = ( $product->is_in_stock() ? 'InStock' : 'OutOfStock' ),
'sku' => $product->get_sku(),
'image' => wp_get_attachment_url( $product->get_image_id() ),
'description' => $product->get_description(),
'seller' => array(
'@type' => 'Organization',
'name' => $shop_name,
'url' => $shop_url,
),
);
...
There is a line in the generate_product_data function
calling for the product description.
I’d like to adapt my template or add a function in my functions.php
file so the description is no longer added to my product archive page. However, it should be added to my single product page. Product archive page & single product page use the same woocommerce_shop_loop
however.
How should I adapt the template or add code to my functions file to remove this product description? I have long descriptions for my products & don’t want these to be added to the product archive pages.
