How Do I Change My Text in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 19, 2023 @ 4:04 pm

If you want to change the text in WooCommerce, there are a few different ways you can do it.

One way is to simply edit the WooCommerce files themselves. This is not recommended, as it can be difficult to keep track of all the changes you’ve made, and if something goes wrong, it can be hard to fix. Plus, if you update WooCommerce, your changes will be overwritten.

Another way is to use a plugin like WooCommerce Custom Text. This will allow you to change the text without editing any files.

Simply install the plugin and then go to WooCommerce > Settings > Custom Text. From here, you can change any of the text that appears on your WooCommerce site.

PRO TIP: If you are considering changing the text in WooCommerce, it is important to note that this can potentially cause problems with your site. While it may be possible to change the text without any issues, there is always the potential for something to go wrong. This could result in your site malfunctioning or appearing broken to visitors. As such, it is important to backup your site before making any changes, and to test the changes thoroughly before making them live. With that said, if you do decide to change the text in WooCommerce, be sure to follow the instructions carefully and pay attention to any warnings that are given.

If you want to change the text in a specific place, you can also use the_content filter. This will allow you to Target a specific piece of text and change it. For example, if you want to change the “Add to Cart” text, you would add this code to your functions.php file:

add_filter( 'the_content', 'change_add_to_cart_text' );
function change_add_to_cart_text( $content ) {
	if ( is_singular( 'product' ) ) {
		$content = str_replace( 'Add to cart', 'Buy now', $content );
	}
	return $content;
}

You can also Target specific text by using CSS selectors. For example, if you want to Target the “Add to Cart” button, you could use this CSS:

.single-product .button { 
    color: #fff; 
    background-color: #000; 
}

Conclusion:

There are a few different ways that you can change text in WooCommerce. You can edit the WooCommerce files themselves, use a plugin like WooCommerce Custom Text, or use the_content filter. You can also Target specific text by using CSS selectors.
