WooCommerce: Move Social Sharing @ Single Product Page

JetPack sharing (and other social media sharing plugins) allow you to add social media sharing to your woocommerce products. However, the sharing buttons will only show at the bottom of the “Long description”.

How to move that up a bit, say between the short description and the product tabs? Simply add this function to your functions.php file editor:

/**
 * @snippet       WooCommerce Move JetPack Social Sharing
 * @how-to        Get CustomizeWoo.com FREE
 * @sourcecode    https://businessbloomer.com/?p=321
 * @author        Rodolfo Melogli
 * @compatible    WooCommerce 3.5.4
 * @donate $9     https://businessbloomer.com/bloomer-armada/
 */

// Remove them from under short description
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_sharing', 50 );

// Readd above product tabs
add_action( 'woocommerce_after_single_product_summary' , 'woocommerce_template_single_sharing', 5 );

Where to add custom code?

You should place custom PHP in functions.php and custom CSS in style.css of your child theme: where to place WooCommerce customization?

This code still works, unless you report otherwise. To exclude conflicts, temporarily switch to the Storefront theme, disable all plugins except WooCommerce, and test the snippet again: WooCommerce troubleshooting 101
