<code>[cdfwsp_category_description]</code>
Display a product category description anywhere on your site — page builders, custom templates, or theme files. Works independently of the admin Display Option setting.
<h4>Attributes</h4>
part (default: <code>full</code>)
Controls which part of the description to output:
<ul>
<li><code>full</code> — complete description (<code>[cdfwsp_split]</code> marker stripped from output).</li>
<li><code>excerpt</code> — excerpt part only (before the split point or word limit).</li>
<li><code>rest</code> — remainder part only (after the split point). Renders with a targetable anchor <code>id</code> for use with <code>excerpt_anchor</code>.</li>
<li><code>excerpt_toggle</code> — excerpt with a Load More button that reveals the full description. JavaScript is loaded automatically.</li>
<li><code>excerpt_anchor</code> — excerpt with an anchor link pointing to a <code>part="rest"</code> shortcode placed elsewhere on the page. No JavaScript required.</li>
</ul>
id (optional)
Product category ID. Takes priority over <code>slug</code>.
slug (optional)
Product category slug. Used when <code>id</code> is not set.
If neither <code>id</code> nor <code>slug</code> is provided, the shortcode auto-detects the category from the current archive page.
<h4>Examples</h4>
Display the full description on the current archive page:
<pre><code>[cdfwsp_category_description]
</code></pre>
Excerpt with a Load More button on the current archive page:
<pre><code>[cdfwsp_category_description part="excerpt_toggle"]
</code></pre>
Excerpt with a Load More button for a specific category:
<pre><code>[cdfwsp_category_description part="excerpt_toggle" slug="clothing"]
</code></pre>
Split view — excerpt above products, full text below (no JavaScript):
<pre><code>[cdfwsp_category_description part="excerpt_anchor"] (place above products)
[cdfwsp_category_description part="rest"] (place below products)<h3>Support</h3>

Customize the text labels, menu names or description for any registered custom post type using a simple Dashboard user interface. No PHP file editing is necessary!
<ul>
<li>Want to rename <code>Posts</code> to <code>News</code>?</li>
<li>Want to rename <code>Media</code> to <code>Files</code>?</li>
<li>Want to rename a <code>Portfolio</code> post type to <code>Projects</code>?</li>
</ul>
You can do all of this (and more) using this plugin.
For example, you could customize the following Custom Post Types:
<ul>
<li>The <code>Posts</code> Custom Post Type (created by WordPress Core)</li>
<li>The <code>Pages</code> Custom Post Type (created by WordPress Core)</li>
<li>The <code>Media</code> Custom Post Type (created by WordPress Core)</li>
<li>Any Custom Post Type that is created by a WordPress plugin</li>
<li>Any Custom Post Type that is created by a WordPress theme</li>
</ul>
This means that you no longer have to modify PHP files in order to rename a Custom Post Type!

Custom Post Type Editor

I was tinkering with events plugins and finally found they were all over-qualified for what I needed. 

After spending 10 minutes with some serious thinking over a Rum Orange, I decided I actually didn’t need default Posts for this project—they’d be my “events”! I’d just have to rename the default “Post” post type labels which I knew was possible, but I didn’t feel like looking up what exactly I’d need to code. (Did I mention Rum Orange? Yeah …)

Finding this plugin and getting the job done was a matter of 6.491 minutes.

Cheers! 🍹

Had to rename default Posts post type while drunk—worked!
