How Do I Replace Words in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 17, 2023 @ 6:15 am

If you’re running a WooCommerce store, there may come a time when you need to change some of the text that appears on your site. Perhaps you want to update your product descriptions, or change the “add to cart” button text. Whatever the reason, it’s easy to replace text in WooCommerce.

In most cases, you’ll want to use the built-in WordPress editor to make changes to your WooCommerce text. Simply go to WooCommerce > Text Changes in your WordPress admin area and enter the text you want to change and the new text you want to use.

If you need more control over where and how your text is changed, or if you want to add HTML tags for formatting, you can use the WooCommerce filters. For example, the following code would change the “add to cart” button text:

<?php
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_add_to_cart_text', 'woo_custom_cart_button_text' );  // < 2.1 + 2.2
function woo_custom_cart_button_text() {
    return __( 'My Button Text', 'woocommerce' ); 
}
?>

You can also use filters to add or remove content from your WooCommerce pages. For example, the following code would remove the product price from all WooCommerce pages:

<?php
remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title', 'woocommerce_template_loop_price', 10 );
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_price', 10 );  ?>

Conclusion:
There are two easy ways to replace words in WooCommerce - either by using the built-in WordPress editor or by using filters. If you need more control over where and how your text is changed, or if you want to add HTML tags for formatting, using filters is the way to go.
