WooCommerce: Display YITH Wishlist Buttons @ Shop Page

This week’s snippet is about one of the most popular WooCommerce plugins on the WordPress repository: YITH WooCommerce Wishlist developed by YITHEMES.

With over 500,000+ active installations, you can probably understand why this is extremely on demand. Having a “wishlist” on your WooCommerce website is a great idea: customers can save their desired products and get back later to complete the purchase.

One of the most requested customizations of such plugin is to display the wishlist buttons on the shop (also called product archive or product loop) pages, under each product’s add to cart button. And the fix is extremely simple!

PHP Snippet: Display YITH Wishlist Buttons @ Shop Page – WooCommerce


/**
* @snippet Display YITH Wishlist Buttons @ Shop Page  - WooCommerce
* @how-to https://businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-customization
* @sourcecode https://businessbloomer.com/?p=72952

add_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item', 'bbloomer_display_yith_wishlist_loop', 97 );

function bbloomer_display_yith_wishlist_loop() {
echo do_shortcode( "[yith_wcwl_add_to_wishlist]" );
}

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

  Please ask YITH and then get back here to post their solution, maybe they changed something in their plugin code?

Hi, do you have the hook for php to get the products which are inside the wishlist so that I can display them on another page?
Thank you!

I tried implementing the code on my site, instead of a button, I’m getting the following code underneath the add to cart button > “[yith_wcwl_add_to_wishlist]”

What did I do wrong?

  Hey Ahmed! Did you forget the “do_shortcode” part maybe?

Hmm. This snippet doesn’t seem to work for me. I expected that I would see the Add to Wishlist button below each item on the following archives pages. What am I missing?

  Hey Rob, thanks so much for your comment! I see the buttons on those pages – was it just a cache problem then?
