Change Cart Title WC
November 20, 2024 · AI Conversations
### Steps:
1. **Edit the `functions.php` file** of your active theme (preferably a child theme to prevent overwriting updates).
2. Add the following code snippet:
add_filter('gettext', 'custom_cart_total_text', 20, 3);
function custom_cart_total_text($translated_text, $text, $domain) {
if ($translated_text === 'Cart totals' && $domain === 'woocommerce') {
$translated_text = 'Cart Total'; // Replace with your desired text
}
return $translated_text;
}
### Explanation:
– **`gettext` filter**: Hooks into all translatable strings in WordPress.
– **Check the current text**: Compare `$translated_text` with the original string (`'Cart totals'`) used by WooCommerce.
– **Replace the text**: Set `$translated_text` to the new string (`'Cart Total'`).
### Testing:
– Visit the cart page after saving the changes.
– Clear any caching plugins or browser cache if the changes do not appear immediately.

### **Method 1: Use WooCommerce Filter Hook**
WooCommerce provides the `woocommerce_cart_totals_before_order_total` and `woocommerce_cart_totals_after_order_total` hooks for customizing cart totals.
Add the following snippet to your theme's `functions.php`:
add_filter('gettext', 'customize_cart_totals_title', 20, 3);
function customize_cart_totals_title($translated_text, $text, $domain) {
if ('Cart totals' === $text && 'woocommerce' === $domain) {
$translated_text = 'Cart Total'; // Your custom title
}
return $translated_text;
}
This approach works by targeting translatable strings directly.

### **Method 2: Override the Cart Template**
If the filter isn’t working, you can override the WooCommerce cart template. Follow these steps:
1. **Locate the Template File**:
– Find the `cart-totals.php` file in WooCommerce under:
wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/cart/cart-totals.php
2. **Copy the File to Your Theme**:
– Copy this file to your theme or child theme under the following path:
wp-content/themes/your-theme/woocommerce/cart/cart-totals.php
3. **Edit the File**:
– Find the section where `Cart totals` is output (look for this string in the file).
– Replace it with your custom title:
<h2><?php esc_html_e( 'Cart Total', 'woocommerce' ); ?></h2>
4. **Save the File**:
– Save the file and refresh your cart page.

### **Testing and Debugging**
– Clear the cache (browser, plugin, or server cache) after making changes.
– If you’re using a multilingual setup like WPML, ensure translations are properly set for your custom string.

### Code to Add to `functions.php`:
add_filter('gettext', 'customize_basket_updated_text', 20, 3);
function customize_basket_updated_text($translated_text, $text, $domain) {
if ('Basket updated.' === $text && 'woocommerce' === $domain) {
$translated_text = 'Cart updated.'; // Replace with your desired text
}
return $translated_text;
}
### Steps:
1. **Add the Code**:
– Place the above code in your theme’s `functions.php` file or a custom plugin if you’re using one.
2. **Clear Cache**:
– If you have caching enabled (browser, plugin, or server), clear it to see the updated message.
3. **Test the Change**:
– Go to the WooCommerce shop, add an item to the cart, and update the quantity. You should see "Cart updated." instead of "Basket updated."
—
### Why This Works:
– **`gettext` filter**: It hooks into WordPress translations and allows replacing specific strings.
– **`Basket updated.`**: This is the original WooCommerce string we’re targeting.
– **`woocommerce` domain**: Ensures only strings from WooCommerce are filtered.
