Home/Videos/Joshua Michaels – Customizing WooCommerce the Right Way Using Action and Filter Hooks

Joshua Michaels – Customizing WooCommerce the Right Way Using Action and Filter Hooks



We’ve all done it: copy the WooCommerce template files into our theme to customize them for a client. While this is the way WooCommerce recommends to customize WooCommerce, it isn’t ideal. As WooCommerce updates their views, your theme files become out-of-date and you have to update them more than you would like. There is a better way: updating WooCommerce templates via Actions and Filters! This presentation will show you how easy it is to customize WooCommerce templates using built-in WooCommerce action and filter hooks. Using the methods shown, your WooCommerce customizations will never be out-of-date and will be much easier to maintain. What’s more, the possibilities are endless giving you total control over your product and store pages. We’ll go over some of the major and not-so-major included hooks, list the advantages and pitfalls of using these methods, as well as provide resources for you to dive in further.

    The only tutorial that helped me to get it! I don't know why hooks are such trouble to be explained properly. Thank you very much!

    Do you have anything similar to that git repo that contains all of the wp-admin hooks/filters/actions?

    Great video, thank you. One question that comes mind, or rather a clarification I suppose, is if I need to use the Theme Customizations plugin if I'm writing my own theme from scratch, or can I just put it in that themes functions.php? I'm guessing I can
