Display product description on WooCommerce shop/category pages

functions.php

<?php
/**
 * Add the product's short description (excerpt) to the WooCommerce shop/category pages. The description displays after the product's name, but before the product's price.

function woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title_short_description() {
	global $product;

	if ( ! $product->post->post_excerpt ) return;
	?>
	<div itemprop="description"> 
		<?php echo substr(apply_filters( 'woocommerce_short_description', $product->post->post_excerpt ),0,230);
		echo '...'
		?>
	</div>
	<?php
}
add_action('woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title', 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title_short_description', 5);

Changed to limit description to 230 characters, and will add '...' to the end of the the snippit.

This works great but the whole description displays as a clickable link (I verified it wasn't the theme).
Also it's displaying the description before the title, instead of below in shop page.

Any ideas for fix?
Thanks.

Replace all
woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title
with
woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item

Hy,

I don't know why but if the text does not reach the character limit we set, the ellipsis will be there at a fixed point. I assume we should make an if statement that makes the ellispsis only if the text exceeds the character limit. Can you help me with that?
