How Do I Add a WooCommerce Shortcode to WordPress?

Last updated on January 23, 2023 @ 7:26 am

Adding a WooCommerce shortcode to WordPress is simple. There are two ways to do it: using the WordPress editor, or by adding the code to your functions.php file.

Using the WordPress Editor

To add a WooCommerce shortcode to a WordPress post or page, simply edit the post or page in the WordPress editor. Then, click on the “+ Add Media” button above the editor. This will open the WordPress media library.

Click on the “Insert from URL” tab and enter the URL of the WooCommerce shortcode you want to insert. Then click on the “Insert into Post” button.

PRO TIP: Adding a WooCommerce shortcode to WordPress can be done by adding the following line to your code: [woocommerce_shortcode]

However, before doing so, please be aware that this will only work if your theme supports WooCommerce shortcodes. If your theme does not support WooCommerce shortcodes, then you will need to add the following line to your functions.php file:

function woocommerce_shortcode_init()
{add_shortcode( ‘woocommerce_shortcode’, ‘woocommerce_shortcode’ );}

Failure to do so will cause an error.
