Created by Ross Ballard, Modified on Fri, 25 Apr at 1:07 PM by Ross Ballard

1. Log in to Your WordPress Dashboard

Go to yourwebsite.com/wp-admin and log in with your credentials.

2. Go to Products

From the left-hand menu, click on Products > All Products.

3. Find and Edit the Product

Use the search bar or scroll to locate the product.
Hover over it and click Edit.

4. Update the Product Description

There are two types of descriptions you can update:

  • Main Description (Product Details)
    Scroll down to the large text editor – this is the full product description shown on the product’s main page.
    You can format text, add images, bullet points, and more here.

  • Short Description (Quick Summary)
    Scroll a little further down to the Product short description box.
    This appears next to the product image or “Add to Cart” button.

Update one or both as needed.

5. Click Update

Once your changes are done, click the blue Update button in the top-right corner.
