Hi, I'll continue to help you with this issue. I've reviewed this thread to refresh my memory about your case.
add_filter( 'woocommerce_taxonomy_archive_description_raw', 'process_taxonomy_description_with_absolute_links', 10, 2 );
function process_taxonomy_description_with_absolute_links( $description, $term ) {
if ( class_exists( '\AbsoluteLinks' ) ) {
$absoluteLinks = new \AbsoluteLinks();
$description = $absoluteLinks->convert_text( $description, true, null );
}
return $description;
}
Then I noticed that it is a different site than the one you initially reported the problem with. (hidden link is a site about military equipment, and hidden link is about home design.) I checked several products for a link in their description, but couldn't find one. Regards, |

Hi, While our second-tier supporter reviews this case, we would like to remind you that you can edit the category descriptions in WPML -> Taxonomy Translation and update the links there. We understand that this may involve a significant amount of manual work; however, if you must proceed, this is the immediate workaround we can offer. Regards, |
