Category: Visual Hook Guides

If you are familiar with WordPress hooks, these tutorials will show you WooCommerce “action” hooks on their respective template pages, so that you can copy/paste them and customize your store via PHP. Pick a visual hook guide, study how each template is assembled, and intercept the process by hooking your custom functions. Enjoy!

WooCommerce Visual Hook Guide: Cart Page (Block Version)

I’ve put together a visual hook guide for the WooCommerce Cart Block (you can find the legacy shortcode version here).

Please note – as of the date above, you can’t really customize the Cart Block via PHP (unless you use the workaround below).

If you need to personalize the Cart page, move elements around, hide default elements, add custom content, you can play on the Edit Page and do the usual manual work with blocks: you can move them (e.g. you can move the coupon form to the bottom), remove them (e.g. you can remove the cross-sells block), place blocks in between default blocks (e.g. you can add some text above and below the “Place Order” button), etc.

But if you wish to do that via code (custom plugin, snippet, child theme), then you must revert to the shortcode version – unless, once again, you get to understand my workaround as per the below visual hook guide.

So, at least for now and until WooCommerce decides to release actions and filters for us developers, let’s see how to find WooCommerce Cart Block hooks quickly and easily by seeing their actual location.

Once you’ve picked your hook, all you need to do in your custom code is “add_action(‘hook_name’,’custom_function’);” and you can place your personalized content in that exact position within the WooCommerce Cart Block.

Enjoy!

WooCommerce Visual Hook Guide: Single Product Page

Here’s a visual hook guide for the WooCommerce Single Product Page. This is part of my “Visual Hook Guide Series“, through which you can find WooCommerce hooks quickly and easily by seeing their actual locations (and you can copy/paste).

Now that you know the product page hooks, you can override the WooCommerce Single Product Page via your child theme’s functions. You can remove default elements (for example, the featured image, the add to cart form, related products…), you can add your custom elements by picking the correct positioned “hook” and triggering your function, and you can even “move” existing elements.

WooCommerce Visual Hook Guide: Cart Page (Shortcode Version)

I’ve put together a visual hook guide for the shortcode-based WooCommerce Cart Page (you can find the block version here).

Please note – as of the date above, you can’t add any customization to the Cart Block yet (unless you find a workaround), so you’d better revert to the shortcode version in case you’re willing to personalize the Cart page, move elements around, hide default elements, add custom content, etc.

So, with this copy/paste hook document you can find WooCommerce Cart hooks quickly and easily by seeing their actual location.

The great thing is – all you need to do in your custom code is “add_action(‘hook_name’,’custom_function’);” and you can place your personalized content anywhere on the WooCommerce Cart Page.

Enjoy!
