 * Hello,
 * I have a function which is working well to return a maximum length on my woocommerce
   products descriptions.
 * Here is the code:
 *     ```
       add_filter('woocommerce_short_description', 'reigel_woocommerce_short_description', 10, 1);
       function reigel_woocommerce_short_description($post_excerpt){
           if (!is_product()) {
               $post_excerpt = substr($post_excerpt, 0, 80);
           }
           return $post_excerpt;
       }
       ```
   
 * I would like to concatenate the $post-excerpt var with a string which contains“…”
   to get something like that as my description:
 * “blabla blabla…” instead of just “blabla blabla”.
 * Can you help me please ?
 * Thanks.
