Update Cart Text Issue

The issue occurs because the displayed text (`Update Basket`) is being translated or overridden somewhere in your WordPress environment. Here's how you can troubleshoot and resolve it:

—

### 1. **Check Theme or Plugin Overrides**
Some themes or plugins may override WooCommerce default text. Look for code like this in your theme or plugins:

add_filter( 'gettext', 'custom_translate_strings', 20, 3 );
function custom_translate_strings( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
    if ( 'woocommerce' === $domain && 'Update cart' === $text ) {
        $translated_text = 'Update Basket';
    }
    return $translated_text;
}

– Search your theme and plugin files for occurrences of `gettext` or `Update cart`.

—

### 2. **Translation Files**
The text may be translated in `.mo` or `.po` files for the WooCommerce domain (`woocommerce`). You can:
– Open your language files (`wp-content/languages/plugins/woocommerce-xx_XX.mo/po`) using tools like [Poedit](https://poedit.net).
– Search for the string `Update cart` and check its translation.

—

### 3. **WooCommerce Settings**
WooCommerce allows for text customization via certain plugins or theme settings:
– Check if your theme has a setting that modifies WooCommerce strings.
– Some plugins like **Loco Translate** or **Say What?** might be used to change text.

—

### 4. **Debugging the `esc_html_e()` Function**
The `esc_html_e()` function uses the WordPress translation system. To debug:
1. Replace the function temporarily with:

echo 'Update cart';

– If it still shows `Update Basket`, it confirms an override elsewhere.
2. Revert the function after testing.

—

### 5. **Force Override**
If you want to force `Update cart` without identifying the source:
Add this code to your theme's `functions.php` file:

add_filter( 'gettext', 'override_update_cart_text', 10, 3 );
function override_update_cart_text( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
    if ( 'Update Basket' === $translated && 'woocommerce' === $domain ) {
        $translated = 'Update cart';
    }
    return $translated;
}

when we update wooocmmerce and divithheme
Assistant
When updating **WooCommerce** and **Divi Theme**, there are specific precautions and considerations to avoid breaking functionality or encountering issues like unexpected text changes (`Update Basket` instead of `Update Cart`). Here's a guide for updating them safely:

—

### **1. Backup Before Updates**
Always create a full backup of your site, including:
– **Database**: Export it using tools like phpMyAdmin or a backup plugin (e.g., UpdraftPlus, Duplicator).
– **Files**: Backup your `wp-content` folder, especially `themes` and `plugins`.

—

### **2. Review Changelogs**
Check the changelogs for both WooCommerce and Divi:
– **WooCommerce Changelog**: Available on the [WooCommerce website](https://woocommerce.com/).
– **Divi Changelog**: Found on the [Elegant Themes website](https://www.elegantthemes.com/changelog/).
– Look for breaking changes, deprecated hooks, or updates to templates that might affect customizations.

—

### **3. Test on a Staging Site**
Avoid updating directly on the live site:
1. Create a staging environment (most hosting providers offer this).
2. Apply updates on the staging site first.
3. Verify that functionality, customizations, and design remain intact.

—

### **4. Address WooCommerce Template Overrides**
When WooCommerce is updated, it might require updates to template files overridden in your theme:
– Go to **WooCommerce > Status > Templates**.
– Check if any templates are marked as "Outdated."
– Update the outdated templates in your theme (usually in `wp-content/themes/divi/woocommerce/`).

If you have customizations in these templates, merge changes carefully.

—

### **5. Translation or Text Customization**
WooCommerce and Divi updates might overwrite translation files or text customizations:
– **Loco Translate**: If you're using this, re-scan and reapply translations.
– **Custom Code**: Review your `functions.php` for filters like `gettext` and ensure they're still effective.

If text reverts after an update (e.g., "Update Cart" changes to "Update Basket"), you may need to reapply filters or translation changes.

—

### **6. Divi-Specific Considerations**
– **Theme Builder Templates**: Check any custom templates you've created for WooCommerce pages (e.g., Cart, Checkout, Product pages) in Divi's Theme Builder.
– **Custom CSS/JS**: Verify that your customizations in Divi options or `style.css` still work as expected.

—

### **7. Update Order**
When both WooCommerce and Divi need updating:
1. Update WooCommerce first.
2. Test for issues.
3. Update Divi.
4. Test again.

This ensures that Divi can adapt to the latest WooCommerce changes.

—

### **8. Debug Common Issues**
After updates, check for:
– **Broken Pages**: Clear cache (browser, Divi, or plugins like WP Rocket).
– **Missing Styles or Layout Issues**: Regenerate CSS in Divi by going to **Divi > Theme Options > Builder > Advanced > Clear Static CSS File Generation**.
– **Plugin Conflicts**: Deactivate plugins one by one to identify issues.

—

By following these steps, you can minimize risks and ensure your WooCommerce and Divi setup remains functional and visually consistent after updates.

Change Add to cart button text single product
Assistant
To change the **"Add to Cart"** button text on the single product page in WooCommerce, you can use a custom filter in your theme's `functions.php` file. Here's how you can do it:

—

### **1. Add Custom Code to Change Text**
Add this code snippet to your theme's `functions.php` file:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_single_add_to_cart_text', 'custom_single_add_to_cart_text' );

function custom_single_add_to_cart_text( $text ) {
    return __( 'Buy Now', 'woocommerce' ); // Replace 'Buy Now' with your desired text.
}

– **Explanation**:
– `woocommerce_product_single_add_to_cart_text`: This filter changes the text for the "Add to Cart" button on single product pages.
– `__( 'Buy Now', 'woocommerce' )`: Replace `'Buy Now'` with the text you want to display on the button.

—

### **2. Change Button Text Across All Locations**
If you want to modify the button text globally (e.g., on archives and single product pages), use this:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_add_to_cart_text', 'custom_global_add_to_cart_text' );

function custom_global_add_to_cart_text( $text ) {
    return __( 'Shop Now', 'woocommerce' ); // Replace 'Shop Now' with your desired text.
}

This will change the "Add to Cart" text in all locations, including product archives and the shop page.

—

### **3. Apply Conditional Changes**
If you want to display different button text based on specific conditions (e.g., product type, category, etc.), you can extend the code:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_single_add_to_cart_text', 'conditional_single_add_to_cart_text' );

function conditional_single_add_to_cart_text( $text ) {
    global $product;

    // Example: Change text for a specific product category.
    if ( has_term( 'sale', 'product_cat', $product->get_id() ) ) {
        return __( 'Grab It Now', 'woocommerce' );
    }

    // Default text for other products.
    return __( 'Buy Now', 'woocommerce' );
}

– **`has_term`**: Checks if the product belongs to a specific category (e.g., `sale`).
– Replace `'Grab It Now'` with the text you want for products in the `sale` category.

—

### **4. Save and Test**
1. Save the changes to your `functions.php` file.
2. Clear your site's cache if caching is enabled.
3. Refresh your product page to see the updated button text.

Basket updated. change this to Cart updated
Assistant
To change the "Basket updated" message to "Cart updated" in WooCommerce, you can use a filter to modify the translation string. Here's how to do it:

—

### **1. Add Custom Code to `functions.php`**
Add the following code to your theme's `functions.php` file:

add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_basket_to_cart_text', 20, 3 );
add_filter( 'woocommerce_cart_updated_notice', 'change_basket_updated_notice', 10 );

function change_basket_to_cart_text( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
    // Change "Basket updated" to "Cart updated".
    if ( 'woocommerce' === $domain && 'Basket updated.' === $original ) {
        $translated = __( 'Cart updated.', 'woocommerce' );
    }
    return $translated;
}

function change_basket_updated_notice( $message ) {
    return str_replace( 'Basket', 'Cart', $message );
}

—

### **2. Explanation of the Code**
1. **`gettext` Filter**:
– Intercepts translation strings for WooCommerce (`woocommerce` text domain).
– Changes "Basket updated." to "Cart updated."

2. **`woocommerce_cart_updated_notice` Filter**:
– Specifically targets cart update notices and replaces "Basket" with "Cart."

—

### **3. Save and Test**
1. Save the changes to your theme’s `functions.php` file.
2. Clear your site and browser cache.
3. Test the cart functionality on your WooCommerce site to ensure the message now reads "Cart updated."

—

### **4. Optional: Translation File Adjustment**
If the string change persists due to `.po` or `.mo` translation files:
1. Use a plugin like **Loco Translate**.
2. Go to **Loco Translate > Plugins > WooCommerce**.
3. Search for "Basket updated" and replace it with "Cart updated."

This approach is more persistent against theme updates. Let me know if you need further assistance!
