When editing or adding text to a product, the text in the top part of the page is what appears in the product tabs (below the product image, price, etc.).

The short description is what appears right under the title, next to the product image. The short description is where most of us add the product details. This is confusing because the longer description is what is most obvious when we edit or add content.

Adding the code below to the functions php file will remove the long description field completely, making it more obvious for where to add content. This is especially helpful to our clients who are managing the store themselves.

Sample Code Snippet

/*remove long description field */
function remove_product_editor() {
remove_post_type_support( ‘product’, ‘editor’ );
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘remove_product_editor’ );
