change column name
### 1. **Using a Custom Hook (Recommended)**
You can modify column headings by using the `wc_product_table_column_headings` filter in your theme's `functions.php` file.
#### Example:
add_filter('wc_product_table_column_headings', function($headings) {
// Change column names
$headings['name'] = 'Product Title'; // Change 'name' to 'Product Title'
$headings['price'] = 'Cost'; // Change 'price' to 'Cost'
return $headings;
});
### 2. **Using CSS (If the Above Doesn't Work)**
If you cannot change it via PHP, you can hide the original header and use CSS to replace it.
#### Example:
th.wcpt-name::before {
content: "Product Title";
visibility: visible;
}
th.wcpt-name {
visibility: hidden;
}
### 3. **Using JavaScript (If Needed)**
If the table is dynamically generated via JavaScript, you can rename the columns using jQuery:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$("th.wcpt-name").text("Product Title");
$("th.wcpt-price").text("Cost");
});
#### Steps to Implement:
1. **PHP method:** Add the filter in `functions.php`.
2. **CSS method:** Add the CSS in **Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS**.
3. **JavaScript method:** Add the jQuery in **Appearance > Customize > Additional JavaScript** or enqueue it in `functions.php`.

### **1. Add a Custom Column**
You can use the `wc_product_table_columns` filter to insert a new column in the product table.
#### **Example:**
Add the following code to your theme’s `functions.php` file:
add_filter('wc_product_table_columns', function($columns) {
$columns['custom_button'] = 'Custom Action'; // Add new column
return $columns;
});
—
### **2. Populate the Custom Column with a Button**
Now, use the `wc_product_table_cell_custom_button` filter to add a custom button inside the column.
add_filter('wc_product_table_cell_custom_button', function($content, $product) {
$product_id = $product->get_id(); // Get Product ID
$button_text = "Buy Now"; // Custom button text
$button_link = get_permalink($product_id); // Link to product page
// Create a button
$button_html = '<a href="' . esc_url($button_link) . '" class="button custom-table-button"> ' . esc_html($button_text) . ' </a>';
return $button_html;
}, 10, 2);

### **3. Style the Button (Optional)**
You can customize the button's appearance using CSS. Add this to **Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS**:
.custom-table-button {
background-color: #0073aa;
color: white;
padding: 8px 12px;
text-decoration: none;
border-radius: 4px;
display: inline-block;
}
.custom-table-button:hover {
background-color: #005177;
}
—
### **Final Output**
– A new column named **"Custom Action"** will be added.
– A **Buy Now** button will appear in each row, linking to the respective product.
Would you like to make the button trigger a custom action instead of linking to the product page? 🚀
