WooCommerce Customization Notes

Best Practices

• Utilize do_action() for custom functions without overriding WooCommerce templates.
• Refer to includes/class-wc-shortcodes.php for a comprehensive list of available shortcodes.

Code Implementation

• Incorporate custom functions into the functions.php file of your child theme.
• Use the do_action() hook for specifying where to run custom functions.
• By default, priority is set to 10 and arguments to 1.

Hooks and Filters

• WordPress Filter Hooks enable content editing before processing by WordPress.
• Use apply_filters( 'hook_name' ) to modify content prior to processing.

Ongoing Updates

• Additional content on child theme customization and CSS best practices will be included regularly.

Providing practical code examples, such as custom actions in product saving or cart customization.
