$args_featured = array(  
    'post_type' => 'product',  
    'meta_key' => '_featured',  
    'meta_value' => 'yes',  
    'posts_per_page' => 1  
);  
  
$show_featured_query = new WP_Query( $args_featured );  
      
if ($show_featured_query->have_posts()) :   
  
    while ($show_featured_query->have_posts()) :   
      
        $show_featured_query->the_post();  
          
        $product = get_product( $show_featured_query->post->ID );  
          
        // Output product information here  
          
    endwhile;  
      
endif;  
  
wp_reset_query(); // Remember to reset  

if you want to add the product short description to your Woocommerce main Shop page or archive pages and display it just below the product title, you just need to add below code into your theme’s functions.php file.


function bpt_excerpt_in_product_archives() {

the_excerpt();

}
add_action('woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title','bpt_excerpt_in_product_archives', 40);


For hide sub-category product count on Category (product archive) page woocommerce, please add below snippet into your theme/child theme’s functions.php file.


/**
* Hide category product count in product archives
*/
add_filter( 'woocommerce_subcategory_count_html', '__return_false' );


if you want to remove heading from the “Product Description” tab on product page, you just need to add below filter in your theme/child theme’s functions.php.

add_filter('woocommerce_product_description_heading', '__return_null');

If you are using WordPress/Woocommerce for your shop and using Storefront theme, So you notice all of your Woocommerce pages will have sidebar on all the page e.g. shop, category, product etc.

There is no way to remove those from setting unless you manually remove those or use any plugin for that. But you can remove it by using below code in functions.php (of child theme if you are using).


add_action( 'get_header', 'remove_storefront_sidebar' );
function remove_storefront_sidebar() {
if ( is_woocommerce() ) {
remove_action( 'storefront_sidebar', 'storefront_get_sidebar', 10 );
}
}


Now, open your theme(child theme’s) style.css in the same location and add this code:

body.woocommerce #primary.content-area {
float: none;
width: 100%;
}


Now, all your WooCommerce pages won’t have a sidebar.
Sidebar removed from all the page now. If you want it to remove only from specific page then you can update the condition is_woocommerce() to below

Main Shop Page

is_shop()

Woocommerce Product Category Page

is_product_category() for specific category is_product_category( 'shirts' )

Woocommerce Product Page

is_product()
