    Hi there!
    Guys, I need your help.
    I purchased Google Product Feed from woothemes.com. It works pretty well. It accepts snippets and I tried the two ones its developer suggests in order to export short_description as a description in the xml file for google merchant center. The problem is that both get_the_excerpt() and get_the_content() will return a void content. I temporarily use get_the_title() in order to export something acceptable for google merchant center.
    I opened a ticket to woothemes support for this topic. Since I got no useful suggestion, I decided to ask for this to you.
    Is there something like get_post_meta(); or what in order to get short description?
    Many thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi,
    I am not sure about it. Please try to use this code:-

    global $post;
$post->post_excerpt

    Thanks
    Mohammad

    Hi Mohammad,
    thanks for your reply.
    If only you could help me in this, the following is the snippet to edit:

    function lw_woocommerce_gpf_description( $description, $ID ) {
	global $post;
	$save_post = $post;
	// $post = get_post( $ID );
	$post->post_excerpt;
	setup_postdata( $post );
	$excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
	$post = $save_post;
	return $excerpt;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_gpf_description', 'lw_woocommerce_gpf_description', 10, 2 );

    I tried, but I’m sure I was wrong, to add your code in that.
    Nothing happened unfortunately… 🙁
    I forwarded to plugin’s support too.
    What do you think about?

    Just a thing: since it seems impossible to retrieve short description nor by get_the_content(); neither by get_the_excerpt();, does it have to do with meta box content or whatever?

    Hi,
    Please use this custom php code:-
    $product_description = sf_get_post_meta($post->ID, 'sf_product_description', true);
    Thanks

    Thanks Mohammad!
    Since I’m not a skilled developer, could you be so kind to tell me where should I put that code?
    Thanks!

    Hi Mohammad.
    attached you can find a piece of woothemes support’s reply to this problem (i’m on mobile now and cannot take a full screenshot).
    Anyway, this is what they wrote to me:

    Hey Alessandro,

    As we suspected, the theme you’re using is not using the standard ‘short description’ field at all. It’s created its own description field, leading to this problem.

    However, it’s definitely possible to do, it’s just that the theme developers need to figure out the code to use in the snippets we gave below.

    If they just replace the code in our snippet with the code the theme uses to get the short description, it should work.

    Sorry, themes really shouldn’t be doing that, causing you these problems 🙁

    Thanks!

    Please, forward this to Ed. I need to know how to fix this thing.
    Many thanks!

    Hi,
    Where is this plugin code? Which specific information field do you want to display? In which field did you insert this information ?
    Thanks
