Best Practices

  • 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.

Examples

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