How to edit an existing product on your WordPress Website

Step 1: Open the Product for Editing

  1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Products > All Products.

  2. Find the product you want to edit.

  3. Hover over the product name and click Edit.


Step 2: Make Changes

  • You can edit:

    • Product Name

    • Description and Short Description

    • Product Data (price, stock, product type, shipping, etc.)

    • Product Image and Gallery

    • Categories and Tags


Step 3: Hide a Product (Set as Draft)

If you don’t want to delete the product but want to hide it from the website:

  1. On the right-hand side, in the Status box, click Edit next to Status.

  2. Select Draft.

  3. Click OK, then Update.

  • The product will no longer appear on your website but remains in your dashboard.


Step 4: Remove a Product Permanently

  1. Go to Products > All Products.

  2. Hover over the product you want to remove and click Trash.

  3. To permanently delete:

    • Click Trash at the top of the product list.

    • Hover over the product in Trash and click Delete Permanently.


Tips:

  • Use Draft to temporarily hide a product without losing its information.

  • Permanent deletion cannot be undone, so use with caution.

  • You can also use Quick Edit from the product list to change the status or basic details without opening the full editor.
