Change Add to Cart Text

User
after updated Woocommerce Add to Cart text changed to Add to Basket, But we wan to keep Add to Cart
Assistant
The text "Add to Basket" instead of "Add to Cart" is likely a result of a setting in WooCommerce or your theme. Here's how you can change it back to "Add to Cart":

### **Method 1: WooCommerce Settings**
1. **Check Localization Settings:**
– Navigate to **WooCommerce > Settings > General**.
– Ensure the "Default customer location" and other language or regional settings match the language you want.

2. **Check WordPress Language Settings:**
– Go to **Settings > General > Site Language**.
– Make sure the site language is set to the desired option (e.g., English (United States)).

### **Method 2: Modify the Text Using Filters**
Add the following code snippet to your theme’s `functions.php` file or via a custom plugin:

function change_add_to_cart_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
    if ( $domain === 'woocommerce' && $text === 'Add to Basket' ) {
        $translated_text = 'Add to Cart';
    }
    return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_add_to_cart_text', 10, 3 );

This will replace "Add to Basket" with "Add to Cart" globally on your WooCommerce store.

### **Method 3: Translation Plugins**
If you’re using a translation plugin (like Loco Translate), follow these steps:
1. Navigate to **Loco Translate > Plugins > WooCommerce**.
2. Search for "Add to Basket" and update the translation to "Add to Cart."
3. Save and regenerate the translation files if needed.

### **Method 4: Theme or Child Theme Text**
Some themes override WooCommerce text strings. To check:
1. Look in your theme files (especially `functions.php` or WooCommerce template files like `single-product/add-to-cart.php`).
2. Replace or override the text if needed.

### **Method 5: Debug Recent Updates**
1. If this issue started after a WooCommerce or theme update:
– Check the **Release Notes** or changelogs for any changes related to text or localization.
– Test by temporarily switching to the default WordPress theme (e.g., Storefront) to see if the issue persists.

change Cart page Update cart notification
Assistant
To change the "Update cart" notification message that appears on the WooCommerce cart page, you can use a filter in your theme's `functions.php` file. The notification message in WooCommerce is controlled by the `wc_add_notice` function, and you can modify it using the `woocommerce_cart_updated_message` filter.

Here’s how you can customize the notification:

### Code Snippet
Add the following code to your theme’s `functions.php` file or a custom plugin:

function custom_update_cart_message( $message ) {
    // Customize the message
    return 'Your cart has been updated successfully!'; // Replace with your custom message
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_cart_updated_message', 'custom_update_cart_message' );

### Explanation
– The `woocommerce_cart_updated_message` filter allows you to change the message that is displayed after updating the cart.
– Replace `"Your cart has been updated successfully!"` with your desired message.

### Optional: Customizing Notifications with HTML
If you want to include HTML in your message, you can do so as follows:

function custom_update_cart_message_html( $message ) {
    // Custom message with HTML
    return '<div class="custom-cart-notice">Your cart has been <strong>updated</strong>. Keep shopping!</div>';
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_cart_updated_message', 'custom_update_cart_message_html' );

Make sure to style the message appropriately if you're adding custom HTML.

### Test the Change
1. Save the `functions.php` file.
2. Go to the **Cart page** on your site.
3. Update the quantity of any item and click **Update Cart**.
4. The custom notification should now appear.

Still showing Basket Updated
Assistant
If the "Basket Updated" message persists even after applying the `woocommerce_cart_updated_message` filter, it may be due to:

1. **Localization Issues:** WooCommerce is translating "Cart" to "Basket" due to your site’s language or region settings.
2. **Theme or Plugin Overrides:** A theme or plugin may be overriding WooCommerce strings or notifications.
3. **Caching:** Cached versions of the page might still display the old message.

Let’s address each issue step by step:

### **Step 1: Check for Translations**
If your site’s language or region setting is set to UK English or another variant, WooCommerce defaults to "Basket." To fix this:

1. Install and activate the **Loco Translate** plugin.
2. Navigate to **Loco Translate > Plugins > WooCommerce**.
3. Find the language file for your site’s language (e.g., English (UK)).
4. Search for "Basket Updated."
5. Replace the translation with "Cart Updated."
6. Save the translation.

### **Step 2: Force a Custom Message**
If a plugin or theme overrides the message, use the `gettext` filter to replace all instances of "Basket Updated":

Add this code to your `functions.php` file or a custom plugin:

function change_basket_updated_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
    if ( $domain === 'woocommerce' && $text === 'Basket updated.' ) {
        $translated_text = 'Cart updated successfully!';
    }
    return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_basket_updated_text', 10, 3 );

### **Step 3: Debug Theme or Plugin Overrides**
1. Temporarily switch to a default WooCommerce-compatible theme (like **Storefront**).
2. Deactivate all plugins except WooCommerce.
3. Test if the message changes correctly.
– If it does, reactivate your theme and plugins one by one to find the conflict.

### **Step 4: Clear Cache**
If caching is enabled (e.g., via a plugin or server), clear all caches:
– WordPress cache plugins (e.g., W3 Total Cache, WP Rocket).
– Browser cache.
– CDN (if applicable).

### **Step 5: Debugging Localization**
Run the following checks:
1. Go to **WooCommerce > Status > Logs** and see if there are errors related to localization or templates.
2. Ensure WooCommerce is up to date.

### Final Check
After applying these changes, test the cart update process again. If the issue persists, share details of your active theme and plugins, and I’ll guide you further.

If the above solutions didn't resolve the issue, let's dig deeper and ensure the correct steps are applied to forcefully update the message. Here's a refined approach:

### **Step 1: Replace All "Basket Updated" Messages**
Add the following code snippet to your theme's `functions.php` file or a custom plugin. This code ensures that every instance of "Basket updated" is replaced with "Cart updated":

function force_replace_basket_updated_message( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
    if ( $domain === 'woocommerce' ) {
        if ( $text === 'Basket updated.' ) {
            $translated_text = 'Cart updated successfully!';
        }
    }
    return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'force_replace_basket_updated_message', 10, 3 );

This method ensures WooCommerce translations for "Basket updated" are replaced globally with your custom message.

### **Step 2: Debug WooCommerce Hooks**
If the `gettext` filter still doesn't work, we’ll use WooCommerce hooks directly:

function custom_update_cart_message( $message ) {
    return 'Cart updated successfully!';
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_cart_updated_message', 'custom_update_cart_message' );

This hook specifically targets WooCommerce's cart update message.

### **Step 3: Override Templates**
If the text is still not updating, the issue might be with a custom WooCommerce template in your theme. To check:
1. Go to **WooCommerce > Status > Templates**.
2. Look for overrides in the **Cart** section.
3. If your theme overrides `cart.php` or related templates, update the text directly in the overridden template file:
– Look for "Basket updated" in the custom cart template (usually under `your-theme/woocommerce/cart/`).
– Replace it with "Cart updated successfully!"

### **Step 4: Check and Modify Translations Directly**
If your site uses a translation file, even without Loco Translate, you can manually edit it:
1. Go to `wp-content/languages/plugins/woocommerce-.po`.
2. Open the file with a text editor or PO file editor (e.g., POEdit).
3. Search for "Basket updated" and replace it with "Cart updated."
4. Save the file and regenerate the `.mo` file.
5. Clear any cache to apply changes.

### **Step 5: Confirm Changes in Localization**
If you're using UK English:
– Change the WordPress language to **English (US)** temporarily in **Settings > General > Site Language**.
– If the issue resolves, switch back to UK English and apply the translation methods above.

### **Step 6: Flush WooCommerce Transients**
– Go to **WooCommerce > Status > Tools**.
– Look for options to **Clear Transients** and **Clear Template Cache.**

### **Step 7: Debug Theme or Plugins**
If none of these work, a plugin or theme may be hardcoding the message. Test by:
1. Switching to a default theme like **Storefront**.
2. Deactivating plugins one by one to identify conflicts.
