Display WooCommerce Product Dimensions via a Shortcode

I am creating a custom layout (using Elementor) for a product – what I need is to have the dimensions of a product to display in a custom tab I have created.

Is there a shortcode for product dimensions? (some of the products are variable too if that makes a difference)

I have managed to get some code to display the long description in a shortcode (see below) however I’m not advanced enough to know what to do to get it to display product dimensions (length, width, height – ideally each one on a separate line)

Here is the long description code i found that works…

function custom_product_description($atts){
    global $product;

    try {
        if( is_a($product, 'WC_Product') ) {
            return wc_format_content( $product->get_description("shortcode") );
        }

        return "Product description shortcode run outside of product context";
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        return "Product description shortcode encountered an exception";
    }
}
add_shortcode( 'custom_product_description', 'custom_product_description' );

Does anyone can give me some help to display product dimensions via a shortcode?

Answer

You can use the following simple code snippet, to display product dimensions via a shortcode:

add_shortcode( 'product_dimensions', 'display_product_dimensions' );

function display_product_dimensions( $atts ){
    // Extract shortcode attributes
    extract( shortcode_atts( array(
        'id' => '',
    ), $atts, 'product_dimensions' ) );

    if( $id == '' ) {
        global $product;

        if( ! is_a($product, 'WC_Product') ) {
            $product = wc_get_product( get_the_id() );
        }
    }

    return method_exists( $product, 'get_dimensions' ) ? wc_format_dimensions($product->get_dimensions(false)) : '';
}

Code goes in functions.php file of the active child theme (or active theme). it should works.

USAGE:

• On WooCommerce product single page: [product_dimensions]
• Anywhere with a defined Id (for example product Id 35): [product_dimensions id="35"]
