Is it possible to remove the short description from the product details page? Currently the short description is displayed above the full description. I would prefer the short description only showed when browsing through a category or search results. The ideal would be for the short description to automatically show the first so many characters of the full description but I’m assuming this is not possible?

Also is it possible to change the price so that is shows as “from £xx.xx”. We are using sliding scale pricing based on quantity and so I would like the price on to show like this on all pages. I will use a table in the description to detail the sliding scale pricing based on quantity.

If I use the cheapest unit price as the product price this means in the cart that it shows this with a cross through it with the actual unit price (dependent on quantity selected) next to it. I would prefer it only to show the actual unit price otherwise it looks like I’m overcharging. Can this be changed?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

To hide short description of single product page add this code in Theme Options > Custom CSS > Global Custom CSS:
```
.product-information .short-description {
   display: none;
}
```
Please refer to this article regarding price range:

Your 3rd query is unclear. Please show a screenshot for better understanding.

Best regards,

Thanks Jack.

Slight change of plan. Can the description be moved up and in place of the short description on the product details page? The short description is not required on this page.

The pricing from link looks interesting. Do you know if this will work even if I don’t use the variables for pricing? e.g. product just has a single price of £0.55 – will this then show up as from £0.55?

Lastly if you go to my site (see private content) and add an item to the cart and then view the cart you will see what I mean.

Thanks

Please, contact administrator

Hello,

Please show a screenshot regarding description query.

The code for price works only for variable products.

To keep only actual price on Cart page add this code in Theme Options > Custom CSS > Global Custom CSS:
```
.shop-table .table-bordered td.product-price del span {
    display: none;
}
```
Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

The code worked perfectly. Thank-you.

I have managed to resolve the description issue myself however do you know if it is possible to remove the blank space between ‘Product Description’ and the description itself? I suspect its a CSS thing?

See link in private content for an example.

Please, contact administrator
for this information.
