Essential Grid and WooCommerce: Add My Painting's Dimensions to item skin

Hey there, this has been giving me headaches for days! Basically I sell paintings and I want to provide more information about the paintings at a glance. Rather than include the dimensions (so info that I put into the shipping details section for the product) in the name, is there a way I could have another layer that either displays the dimensions for each painting OR says “More Info” so that users can click to learn more about the painting before adding it to their cart? I like the add to cart functionality that I have going right now, but I feel like there should be some kind of middle ground.

Here is a link to an example of one of the pages: https://randylpurcell.com/wildlife/

If we go the dimensions route, will this be able to pull from the dimension field in the painting’s info so that I don’t have to go in and type out the dimensions again for each one of the painting? I have a few hundred so that would take forever.

But “More Info” would be fine, so long as it automatically knows to link to the same product that the add to cart button is adding to the cart.

If we do the dimensions route, can that link to the product the same way “More Info” would?

Will include login creds below.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Would it be easier if instead of doing the above things, if the search icon maintain it’s normal functionality but could we just force it to pull up some info along with the picture as well? So like the dimensions and price, etc?

Hi @Murrell,

Please follow this link to edit the current skin:

https://randylpurcell.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=essential-grid&view=grid-item-skin-editor&create=12

Then drag & drop the text layer to the dropzone below the title:

The Source should be Post and Element should be Excerpt to pull the short description from Products.

For more information, please take a look at this article:

Hope it helps :slight_smile:
