How Do I Add a Hook in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 3:23 pm

Adding a hook in WooCommerce is simple and can be done in a few easy steps. By following these steps, you can add a hook to your WooCommerce site that will help make it more engaging and visually appealing:

  1. In your WordPress admin panel, go to Appearance > Editor.

    This will bring up the Theme editor.

  2. On the right hand side of the editor, you will see a list of files that make up your theme. Find the function.php file and click on it to open it.
  3. Once the file is open, scroll down to the very bottom and add the following code:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wc_add_hook' );

This code tells WordPress to “hook” into the wp_enqueue_scripts function, which is responsible for loading all of the scripts on your WooCommerce site.

  1. Now that you have added the code, you need to tell WordPress what function to run when it “hooks” into wp_enqueue_scripts. Add the following code below the code from Step 3:

function wc_add_hook() {

//Your code goes here!}

The first line of this code creates a new function called wc_add_hook(). The second line tells WordPress to “echo” or output some text when this function is run.

In this case, we want to output some HTML. So, we added some HTML tags to create a simple link.

PRO TIP: Adding a hook in WooCommerce can be dangerous if not done correctly. Make sure you know what you are doing before attempting to add a hook.
  1. Save your changes and go back to your WooCommerce site. You should now see a new link at the bottom of every page!
