Allow shortcodes in product variations description in Woocommerce












2















I would like to use a pods shortcode field inside the woocommerce variable product description but by default the variable description field does not support shortcodes.



The variation description is stored in an array woocommerce_available_variation, so I can't simple call the function do_shortcode($variation).



I am trying to allow short codes in this field by using the below code:



add_filter( 'woocommerce_available_variation', 'shortcode_variation_description');

function shortcode_variation_description( $variation ) {
$variation['variation_description'] = do_shortcode( $variation['variation_description'] );
return $variation;


But it's not working.



Anybody to figure out what I am doing wrong?

          When using your code, it works. To test, I have used the Woocommerce shortcode [products] in a variation description as follow:



          The imputed text is (where 37 is a real simple product ID):
          "This is a description with a shortcode… [products ids="37"] As you can see this shorcode is detected and displayed."



          And I get this display:



          enter image description here



          So it works for real. I have lightly made some little changes to this code version (yours work too):



          add_filter( 'woocommerce_available_variation', 'variation_description_allow_shortcodes', 10, 3 );
          function variation_description_allow_shortcodes( $variation_data, $product, $variation ) {
          $variation_data['variation_description'] = do_shortcode( $variation_data['variation_description'] );

          return $variation_data;
          }


          Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (active theme). Tested and works.

          You can define your own shortcode, see the documentation. You can copy/paste the code because it's wrapped in a class so it won't trigger fatal error due to double declaration.



          But shortcode do not work that way :



          function shortcode_handler($atts) {
          //code goes here
          }
          add_shortcode("name_of_shortcode","shortcode_handler');
