03 / Website use cases
Where to use product image description
Photographers, makers and art sellers often write notes about a photo in the Media Library, how and where it was taken or what is shown, but WordPress never shows the image description on product pages. Product image description shows it next to the product, with paragraphs and links kept and unsafe markup removed.
Handmade products
Explain what the photo shows.
Credits

Troubleshoot product image description
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is nothing shown?
The main product image has no Description in the Media Library, or there is no image.
Why did some formatting disappear?
Only paragraphs, links, emphasis and lists are kept.
Is it the caption?
No. The caption is a separate field; use Product image caption for it.
Does it use gallery images?
No. It uses the main product image.
Product image description plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor and WooCommerce.
Where does it get its information?
From the Description field of the main product image in the Media Library.
