Add Snippet To Project
Are you using WooCommerce on your WordPress website and want to change the currency symbol? WooCommerce is a popular e-commerce plugin that allows you to sell products and services online. By default, WooCommerce uses the currency symbol associated with your chosen currency. However, if you want to customize the currency symbol to match the specific needs and preferences of your business, this article will guide you through the process of changing the currency symbol in WooCommerce.
function wpturbo_change_currency_symbol( $currency_symbol, $currency ) {
if ( $currency === 'USD' ) {
$currency_symbol = '$';
}
return $currency_symbol;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_currency_symbol', 'wpturbo_change_currency_symbol', 10, 2 );
The code snippet provided allows you to change the currency symbol in WooCommerce. This can be useful if you want to display a different currency symbol for a specific currency.
The code defines a function called wpturbo_change_currency_symbol() that takes two arguments: $currency_symbol and $currency. The $currency_symbol argument represents the current currency symbol being used, while the $currency argument represents the currency being displayed.
Inside the function, we use an if statement to check if the current currency is ‘USD’. If it is, we assign the $currency_symbol variable to ‘$’, which is the symbol for the US dollar.
You can modify the IF condition and $currency_symbol assignment to change the currency symbol for a different currency. For example, if you want to change the currency symbol for Euros (EUR), you would modify the code like this:
if ( $currency === 'EUR' ) {
$currency_symbol = '€';
}After modifying the $currency_symbol variable, we return it using the return keyword.
Finally, we use the add_filter function to hook our wpturbo_change_currency_symbol() function into the woocommerce_currency_symbol filter. The woocommerce_currency_symbol filter is responsible for modifying the currency symbol that is displayed by WooCommerce.
By specifying a priority of 10 and a number of accepted arguments of 2, we ensure that our function is called at the appropriate time and with the correct arguments.
That’s it! Now, whenever WooCommerce needs to display a currency symbol, it will first check if there is a custom currency symbol defined for that specific currency, as determined by our function.
