    I’m looking for a way to insert a pre-written, updatable paragraph into multiple product descriptions. This would be to update additional information about the product (what software is supported) without manually rewriting for each product.

    A reusable block would be perfect, but is not an option for WooCommerce product descriptions. Am I missing something? Thanks!

  • Hey, shinteetahgmailcom, I’m another WooCommerce user.

    You can address this issue by using a shortcode.

    Here’s a tutorial that should explain how to use shortcodes:

    It will require some custom coding via PHP.

    Sorry for the delay in responding — I was giving a workshop and a conference back to back and wasn’t catching up here!

    Thanks for the reply! I did think of shortcodes, but my tests did not work when placed within the product description. (I tested with an existing and functional shortcode I use elsewhere, so it wasn’t a coding error.) There may be a way to drop a shortcode into that box and have it read properly as a shortcode, but I’m not there yet.

    Hello,

    I understand that you would like to insert a pre-written, updatable paragraph into multiple product descriptions.?

    You can do that by importing the descriptions via CSV update, you can do the following:

    • Navigate to Products > All Products > Export, to export your products (You can add the products to a category to make it easier to export them by category).
    • Edit the CSV file, adding the product descriptions (You can add the description to one product before exporting it).
    • Import the edited CSV file that has the descriptions to your site.

    More info is available on our documentation for your reference:
    https://woocommerce.com/document/product-csv-importer-exporter/#update-existing-products

    I hope this helps.
