How to use Bricks to edit Product Description

I would like to use Bricks as a theme builder, but also to edit the product description of WooCommerce Products.

The purpose is to design the product description as a landing page with images, text, videos and other elements, while keeping the WooCommerce structure (product gallery, title, price, etc.) at the top of the page identical for all products.

Is this possible?

I know how to create a Bricks template and apply it to various parts of the website and how to design a post or a page with Bricks.

The problem is that if I enable Bricks to edit WooCommerce products, then I have to design the whole product page (except header and footer) from scratch or import a template.

I can’t just design the section of the product description with Bricks while keeping the rest of the page managed by the Single product template.

I hope this is clear enough.

I am doing this with Zion and I was expecting to be able to do the same.

Am I missing something?

Hi Walter, were you able to find a solution? I’m in the same spot but can’t edit an individual product’s description.

No problem. Use widget “Post Content” and select Data Source : Bricks

Hi there, thank you for the response.

When I’m in Bricks, I follow the instructions on including a “Post Content” element, here. But it just replicates the product description content.

I’d like to have the ability to add a new content block that is unique and customizable on each of my products.

Is that possible?

If you select Wordpress as a source, it displays what is in the description, and if you select the Bricks source (as I wrote above), it displays what was created by editing the page with the Bricks editor.

@clickfusion63 I suppose I’m lost; I tried toggling “Bricks” but nothing; you can see a video of how I added “Post Content” and then selected “Bricks” as data source, here.

Do you think I’m missing something?

Maybe I’m just bad at explaining things due to the language barrier :frowning:

That makes a lot of sense; I enabled the functionality and attempted to edit with Bricks. I was able to add a “Post Content” block and then a “Rich Text” block but when I save it doesn’t appear to be pushed to the Frontend; any thoughts?

I created another video with how it appears

Any one solve it?
Is it possieble to edit "Product description with bricks?
I need to build custom description.

Right now when i enable Bric builder for products and add anything to product description with bricks nothing shows up.

you dont use bricks for editing your post types

you use bricks for creating your templates, loops, and designs

use your post types like usual with block editor or wp editor…etc

only reason I can think of editing content in bricks would be nice are for custom fields, title or the_content and thats some edge cases only not always.

Ok, so what approach do you recommend if I want to build a multi-tab and nice-looking product description with multiple columns, etc.?

Single Product Template. just setup templates ones thats it.

and use your editor as usualy on wordpress

Yes i can make nestable tabs inside product template but this is a part solution.

  1. How to build multi column layout inside the tab? Only shord code prom other bricks template or hand code?

  2. How to display reviews inside a separate tab?

  3. If you have different product with different needs for tabs i need to build whole logic around it to display different number of tabs and names per product.

Better way will be to use a bricks inside product descrption and use some plugin for multi tabs.

yes there is no review element independently but just use tabs to show reviews and hide the rest if needed with css display:none

easy
