4 Useful WooCommerce Functions

A fast and reliable way to change WooCommerce behaviours

While working on WooCommerce websites, I’ve found that I was using (most of the times) 4 simple functions that allowed me to have a superior control on the created e-commerce solution.

 

In this post you’ll find functions for:

  • Add WooCommerce CSS classes to any template you want
  • Change WooCommerce products per page and product columns on listings
  • Add BCC to all emails sent by WooCommerce
  • Remove WooCommerce hooked actions and create your own function with it

 

Add WooCommerce CSS classes to a page template or a single template from custom post type


add_filter('body_class','add_this_classes');

function add_this_classes($classes) {
        //if is single from CPT "post_type" or page template "template.php"
	if(is_singular('post_type') || is_page_template('template.php')){

		// add 'class-name' to the $classes array
		$classes[] = 'woocommerce';
		$classes[] = 'woocommerce-page';

	}

	// return the $classes array
	return $classes;
}

 

Change WooCommerce products per page and columns


//Change products per page to 20
add_filter( 'loop_shop_per_page', create_function( '$cols', 'return 20;' ), 20 );
add_filter('loop_shop_columns', 'loop_columns');

if (!function_exists('loop_columns')) {

	function loop_columns() {

		return 8; //change to 8 columns

	}

}

 

Add BCC in all emails sent by WooCommerce


add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_headers', 'add_bcc_all_emails', 10, 2);

function add_bcc_all_emails($headers, $object) {

	$headers = array();
	$headers[] = 'Bcc: Name <[email protected]>';
	$headers[] = 'Content-Type: text/html';

	return $headers;
}

 

Remove WooCommerce hooked action and use the function from it

//Remove add to cart from single product summary
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_add_to_cart', 30 );

woocommerce_template_single_add_to_cart();

Would you happen to know how to add “reply-to” in the new order email?
For example, the new order email is sent from the admin email account. But I want to add “reply-to” to the customer so that I can reply directly from the email.

you can use the same function adding the reply-to parameter, like: $headers[] = “Reply-To: Recipient Name “;

regarding bcc snippet – is there a way to only send confirmed orders to an email account.
