Change "View Cart" and "Checkout" buttons text in Cart Widget Woocommerce

Question

I'm trying to find the correct function or filter to edit the text of the buttons "View Cart" and "Checkout" in the Cart Widget of Woocommerce.

My website url : http://modularwave.com/ (just so you know i'm using Brutal, great theme from zigzagpress).

Thanks in advance for you help, F.

Solution 1

You can use str_ireplace() to change the text of the button, the following function will allow you to change the text of a Woocommerce button:

//The filters.. both are required.
add_filter('gettext', 'change_checkout_btn');
add_filter('ngettext', 'change_checkout_btn');

//function
function change_checkout_btn($checkout_btn){
  $checkout_btn= str_ireplace('Checkout', 'Your New Text', $checkout_btn);
  return $checkout_btn;
}

Solution 2

To easily translate plugins use this plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/

It lets you select a plugin.

Note, only plugins with .mo/.po files can be translated.

I hope this will help you!

Good luck.

Hi Michael, thanks a lot for your answer but I'm not there yet (translation I mean). I'm just looking to change the text in English for that button precisely :).

Not 100% but that plugin also shows where the string is located. You can then open the file containing the English translated sting and edit it your self. See the plugin as a quick help.

Thanks a lot it works ! Just one thing, how do you change it again ? If i do : 'Checkout', 'Your New Text', $checkout_btn or : 'Your New Text', 'Your New Text2', $checkout_btn It's not working.

I just tested it now and I see what you mean. You have to still use 'Checkout', in str_ireplace as that is the text that is generated by Woocommerce for the button when the page loads (even though you might not see it) so you need to go: str_ireplace('Checkout', 'Your New Text2', $checkout_btn);

Yes thanks a lot Daniel it's working like a charm! (It was just the CDN or caching messing with me I guess)

this must have been depreciated in latest WC as it is not working for us

I tested this today on WC 2.6.1.4 and it still changed the checkout button text
