bulk edit WooCommerce product description is simply possible by Bulk Editing description or short description in the “Bulk form” of Woocommerce Bulk Product Editing<\/a> Plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this tutorial, we want to show you how to bulk edit product short description and description in WooCommerce at the same time by making an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our goal is to show the customers that all of our published products are on Sale by adding \u201cOff\u201d to their short description and also we want to add their \u201cID\u201d at the end of each description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To do this, as we explained in \u201cHow to filter products on Woocommerce bulk product editing?<\/a>\u201d we filtered published product from the filter form as below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then we set a new preset named \u201cProduct Description<\/strong>\u201d by adding “Description<\/strong>” and “Short Description<\/strong>” to be display in the product table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We completely described the Column preset and Column profile in another tutorial which is available on our knowledge base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By selecting this column profile, the product table including description and short description is displayed at the main page. You are able to change the content of each product by clicking On \u201cEdit<\/strong>\u201d icon appeared in each column.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can see the description of the first product in the below picture and you can refer to it later to see how it will be changed after doing Bulk Edit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To change the multi product description we filtered before, you need to select desired products and then click on \u201cBulk Edit<\/strong>\u201d button at the main page and open the Bulk Edit Form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the \u201cGeneral Tab<\/strong>\u201d of this form, both \u201cDescription<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cShort Description<\/strong>\u201d are available to be bulk edit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As shown in the below picture, you can set the conditions of Bulk editing from the dropdown list of the first box including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You have also access to some variable values in the dropdown list of the third box to set them as your preferred value to be added to the description exactly according to the condition you selected from the first box, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this tutorial, as we mentioned at the beginning we are going to make two changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1- Change multi product description of filtered product by adding ID to the end:<\/p>\n\n\n\n To do this, we simply select \u201cAppend<\/strong>\u201d as our condition and choose \u201cID<\/strong>\u201d as our value for the description field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2- Add \u201cOff!<\/strong>\u201d to the beginning of the short description of filtered products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This change is also possible by selecting \u201cPrepend<\/strong>\u201d from the condition box and typing \u201cOFF!<\/strong>\u201d in the short description text box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no need to do anything more, just click on \u201cDo Bulk Edit<\/strong>\u201d and see how the plugin can magically change multi product description and short description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To get more familiar with the options for bulk edit product description in this plugin, we are going to make some other examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We select \u201ctilte<\/strong>\u201d , \u201cSKU<\/strong>\u201d , \u201cRegular Price<\/strong>\u201d 10% OFF to be replace by all of the product description as below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n and you can see the result as below by clicking on Do Bulk Edit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: <\/strong>You are able to select as many variables as you want to replace the product description. It means that you can add more than one variation from the variation dropdown list, however, for the Short Description, you have to just select one of the variables. For example, if you choose \u201cSKU\u201d to display in the Short Description, you are not allowed to select another item such as ID or etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To delete some part of product description, for example \u201cTilte<\/strong>\u201d, you have to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n and the final result will be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see in the above picture, the \u201ctitle\u201d has been deleted from the product description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we are going to replace \u201cSKU\u201d in the product description by \u201cTitle\u201d, we have to choose the below conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Replace : SKU<\/p>\n\n\n\n Same Case: Title<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
