How can I access the Product Short Description in a WooCommerce email template?

patrick

I want to output the Product Short Description below the product name inside the order items table inside WooCommerce emails. I have an idea where to place the code inside the email template file, but I am unable to access the description of an item. I don't see any retrieval mechanism for doing this, please help.

Use var_dump() on $item and $_product, which are both used in the email-order-items.php template. $_product revealed a postobject, which itself has a post_excerpt property, and it holds the contents of the "Product Short Description" from the WooCommerce product form.

For adding the description below the item name, use this code

echo '<br/>' . $_product->post->post_excerpt;
It will work
