Woocommerce | Display Text on a Single Brand Page
As an e-commerce store owner using WooCommerce, having the ability to customize the content on your product brand pages can be a valuable feature. Whether you want to provide additional information, promote specific products, or simply enhance the user experience, being able to display custom text on a single brand page can make a big difference.
In this blog post, we'll dive into the steps required to achieve this functionality, ensuring your WooCommerce store showcases your product brands in the best possible way.
Understanding the Taxonomy
When working with product brands in WooCommerce, the taxonomy you need to use is typically prefixed with pa_
. This means that if your brand attribute is named product_brand
, the corresponding taxonomy would be pa_product_brand
.
However, it's important to note that sometimes the taxonomy may have a dash instead of an underscore, resulting in pa_product-brand
.
To determine the correct taxonomy to use, you can follow these steps:
- Go to the WordPress admin panel.
- Navigate to "Products" > "Attributes".
- Locate the product brand attribute in the list.
- The taxonomy name will be displayed in the "Slug" column, either as
pa_product_brand
or pa_product-brand
.
Armed with this knowledge, you can now proceed to the code implementation.
Displaying Custom Text on a Single Brand Page
To display custom text on a single brand page, you can use the is_tax()
function provided by WordPress. This function allows you to check if the current page is a specific taxonomy term.
Here's an example of the code you can use:
function woo_brand_page_check() {
// Check if the current page is a specific brand page
if ( is_tax( 'pa_product_brand', 'BRAND_NAME' ) ) {
echo 'Custom text for the BRAND_NAME brand page.';
}
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop', 'woo_brand_page_check', 10 );
In this example, we define a function called woo_brand_page_check()
that checks if the current page is the pa_product_brand
taxonomy term for the specific brand name 'BRAND_NAME'
. If the condition is true, the function will output the custom text you provide.
The add_action()
function is used to hook the woo_brand_page_check()
function to the woocommerce_before_shop_loop
action, which is triggered before the product loop on the brand page. This ensures that the custom text is displayed at the appropriate location on the page.
Remember to replace 'BRAND_NAME'
with the actual brand name you want to target. You can also add additional custom content or functionality within the if
statement to further enhance the brand page experience.
Identifying the Correct Taxonomy
As mentioned earlier, the taxonomy name may have a dash instead of an underscore. To handle this scenario, you can modify the code as follows:
function woo_brand_page_check() {
// Check if the current page is a specific brand page
if ( is_tax( 'pa_product-brand', 'BRAND_NAME' ) ) {
echo 'Custom text for the BRAND_NAME brand page.';
}
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop', 'woo_brand_page_check', 10 );
In this updated version, we've changed the taxonomy name to 'pa_product-brand'
to accommodate the possibility of a dash instead of an underscore.
Alternatively, you can use a more flexible approach by looping through all the product brand terms and checking each one:
function woo_brand_page_check() {
$product_brands = get_terms( 'pa_product_brand' );
foreach ( $product_brands as $brand ) {
if ( is_tax( 'pa_product_brand', $brand->slug ) ) {
echo 'Custom text for the ' . $brand->name . ' brand page.';
break;
}
}
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop', 'woo_brand_page_check', 10 );
In this example, we use the get_terms()
function to retrieve all the product brand terms, then loop through them and check if the current page matches any of the brand taxonomy terms. If a match is found, we display the custom text specific to that brand.
Advanced Customization
While the examples provided so far cover the basic functionality of displaying custom text on a single brand page, you may want to explore additional customization options to enhance the user experience further.
Here are a few ideas you can consider:
-
Conditional Checks: Instead of displaying the same custom text for all brand pages, you can introduce conditional checks to display different content based on the specific brand. This could include product recommendations, featured products, or brand-specific information.
-
Styling and Layout: You can style the custom text to match the branding and design of your WooCommerce store. This could involve using specific fonts, colors, or layouts to ensure the custom content seamlessly integrates with the overall theme.
-
Dynamic Content: Instead of hardcoding the custom text, you could consider using dynamic content, such as custom fields or post meta, to allow for easier updates and management of the brand page content.
-
Multilingual Support: If your WooCommerce store supports multiple languages, you may want to add functionality to display the custom text in the appropriate language based on the user's preferences.
-
Analytics and Tracking: To measure the impact of your custom brand page content, you could integrate with tools like Flowpoint.ai to track user engagement, conversion rates, and other relevant metrics.
By exploring these advanced customization options, you can create a more engaging and personalized brand experience for your WooCommerce customers, ultimately contributing to increased sales and customer loyalty.
Conclusion
Displaying custom text on a single brand page in your WooCommerce store is a straightforward process that can significantly enhance the user experience. By understanding the correct taxonomy to use and implementing the necessary code, you can easily add custom content to your brand pages, whether it's additional information, product promotions, or brand-specific messaging.
Remember to double-check the taxonomy name, as it may have a dash instead of an underscore, and consider exploring advanced customization options to further optimize your brand page content. By leveraging tools like Flowpoint.ai to analyze user behavior and conversions, you can ensure that your brand page customizations are effective and impactful.
