How to remove the short description field in WooCommerce?

I a custom them for woocommerce with a design that does not utilize the “Product Short Description”. Removing that description from displaying on the page was easy enough using:

1	remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_excerpt', 20);

However, I cannot seem to find any way to remove the field/panel itself from showing to the admin on the product editing pages. I’m using woocommerce 2.0. Thanks! Dennis Morris Asked on October 24, 2015 in WordPress.

You can remove the Short Description field from the WooCommerce admin panel via PHP:

function remove_short_description() { remove_meta_box( 'postexcerpt', 'product', 'normal'); }add_action('add_meta_boxes', 'remove_short_description', 999);
