Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Reusable Product Description for WooCommerce

The description will only be visible if the product is associated with that specific attribute where you added your description. Every available attribute description will be wrapped in a separate paragraph by default. Also check the attribute settings and make sure you selected the correct description source and display type.
The plugin creates a new meta field to avoid conflicts with the existing attribute descriptions, as they might already be used for other purposes. Furthermore, the default term description field does not support shortcodes and also the HTML support is inconsistent. If you still wish to use the default attribute description instead, proceed as follows: Navigate to Products -> Attributes -> Edit -> Description source -> Select "Term description" and save your changes.
Navigate to Products -> Attributes -> Edit -> Alternative Tab Title -> Enter a tab title or leave blank to use the default attribute title and save your changes.
This plugin is equipped with native support for Polylang and WPML. The strings can be translated using the string translations functionality of the two plugins. Strings are registered witht the following domain/group: woo-product-attribute-tab. First, see the FAQ section How can I change the tab title? to learn how to set a custom attribute tab title. Then, proceed as follows to translate your tab title: Polylang 1. Navigate to Languages -> String translations 2. Select woo-product-attribute-tab from the groups dropdown and press Filter 3. Translate your tab titles and save the changes WPML 1. Navigate to WPML -> String Translation 2. Select woo-product-attribute-tab from the domains dropdown and press Filter 3. Translate your tab titles and save the changes
The default ordering mechanism of tabs depends on the order of the attributes you assigned to a product and is controlled by a priority number. The default WooCommerce tabs have the following priority numbers assigned: Description: 10 Additional Information: 20 Reviews: 30 The plugin will try to display the product attribute tabs between the Additional Information and Reviews tab. However, if you have many attributes assigned to a product, this does not work reliably. The product attribute position starts to count at 1. The plugin will add an offset of 20 (default behavior). For example, if you're displaying the 5th attribute in a separate tab, the calculated priority number becomes 25, in which case the new tab will be displayed at the third position of your tabs (between the Additional Information and Reviews tabs). However, your attribute is at position 11, the final calculated priority number becomes 31 and displays the tab after the Reviews tab. If you wish to set an absolute priority for certain attributes, proceed as follows: Navigate to Products -> Attributes -> Edit -> Tab Priority -> enter any numerical value you like (small numbers means high priority, large number means low priority) and save your changes.
If you wish to hide the description of a particular attribute, proceed as follows. Navigate to Products -> Attributes -> Edit -> Display Type -> Select "Do not display" from the dropdown and save your changes. No descriptions will be displayed for this attribute anymore.
If you wish to display the term or tab description after the main description, rather than in a separate tab, then proceed as follows: Navigate to Products -> Attributes -> Edit -> Display Type -> Select "Append to main description" from the dropdown and save your changes. The descriptions will be appended to the main description for this attribute.
