To add custom fields to your product pages in WooCommerce, you can use the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin, which is a powerful tool for adding custom fields to WordPress. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Install Advanced Custom Fields Plugin:
    • Go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Plugins > Add New.
    • Search for Advanced Custom Fields and install the plugin.
    • Activate the plugin after installation.
  1. Create a New Field Group:
    • In your WordPress dashboard, go to the Custom Fields tab.
    • Click Add New next to Field Groups.
    • Name the field group appropriately, for example, “Product Details”.
  1. Add Custom Fields to the Group:
    • Within the field group, click Add Field.
    • Label your field and choose the field type (e.g., text, number, etc.).
    • Fill in the additional field settings such as instructions and whether the field is required.
  1. Configure Where the Field Group Should Be Used:
    • Select Products under Location rules to specify that this field group applies to WooCommerce products.
    • You can also set conditions if needed, such as only displaying the field on certain product categories.
  1. Display the Custom Fields on Your Product Page:
    • After setting up your custom fields, you can display them on your product pages using hooks or by editing your theme files.
    • Using hooks, you can insert content into your product pages without modifying the WooCommerce templates.
    • Add the following code to your child theme’s functions.php file, replacing 'hook-name-goes-here' with the actual WooCommerce hook and 'key' with the exact custom field name:

function display_custom_field_woocommerce() { global $post; // Replace 'key' with your custom field name echo '<p>' . get_post_meta($post->ID, 'key', true) . '</p>'; } add_filter('hook-name-goes-here', 'display_custom_field_woocommerce');

  • Make sure to backup your WordPress site before making changes to the functions.php file.
  1. Test Your Changes:
    • Go to a product page and check if the custom fields are displayed correctly.
    • Adjust the placement or styling as needed within your theme’s files.

Using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin, you can easily manage and display custom fields on your WooCommerce product pages, providing additional information to your customers and enhancing the overall product presentation.
