WooCommerce product page layout customization

To customize the layout of WooCommerce product pages in WordPress, you can use hooks and filters provided by WooCommerce. One common customization is to modify the product page layout by rearranging or adding/removing elements.

To achieve this, you can use the woocommerce_before_single_product_summary and woocommerce_after_single_product_summary hooks to add or remove elements before and after the product summary section. You can also use the woocommerce_single_product_summary hook to modify the content within the product summary section.

Here’s an example code snippet that demonstrates how to customize the layout of WooCommerce product pages by removing the product title and adding a custom message above the product summary:

// Remove product title
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_title', 5 );

// Add custom message above product summary
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product_summary', 'wpsnippets_custom_message', 5 );
function wpsnippets_custom_message() {
    echo '<p>This is a custom message above the product summary.</p>';
}

In this example, the remove_action() function is used to remove the default product title from the product summary section. The add_action() function is then used to add a custom message above the product summary section using the woocommerce_before_single_product_summary hook.

You can place this code snippet in your theme’s functions.php file or in a custom plugin file. Remember to use a child theme or custom plugin to avoid losing your modifications during theme updates.

This code snippet can be useful when you want to customize the layout of WooCommerce product pages by rearranging or adding/removing elements. For example, you can use it to add a custom message, promotional banner, or additional product information above or below the product summary section.

Examples

Example 1: Customize WooCommerce Product Page Layout with Hooks

This example demonstrates how to customize the layout of the WooCommerce product page using hooks. By using the woocommerce_before_single_product_summary and woocommerce_after_single_product_summary hooks, you can add or remove content before and after the product summary section.

function wpsnippets_custom_product_page_layout() {
    remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_show_product_images', 20 );
    add_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product_summary', 'wpsnippets_custom_product_images', 20 );
    add_action( 'woocommerce_after_single_product_summary', 'wpsnippets_custom_product_description', 10 );
}

function wpsnippets_custom_product_images() {
    // Custom code to display product images
}

function wpsnippets_custom_product_description() {
    // Custom code to display product description
}

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product', 'wpsnippets_custom_product_page_layout' );

In this example, we remove the default product image display function woocommerce_show_product_images from the woocommerce_before_single_product_summary hook and replace it with a custom function wpsnippets_custom_product_images. Similarly, we add a custom function wpsnippets_custom_product_description to the woocommerce_after_single_product_summary hook to display a custom product description. The wpsnippets_custom_product_page_layout function is hooked to woocommerce_before_single_product to apply the layout customization.

Example 2: Customize WooCommerce Product Page Layout with Template Overrides

This example demonstrates how to customize the layout of the WooCommerce product page by overriding the template files. By copying the template files to your theme’s folder, you can modify the HTML structure and design of the product page.

// Copy the 'single-product.php' template file from 'wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/' to 'wp-content/themes/your-theme/woocommerce/'.

// Customize the copied 'single-product.php' file as per your requirements.

In this example, you need to locate the single-product.php template file in the WooCommerce plugin’s templates folder. Copy this file to your theme’s woocommerce folder. Then, you can modify the copied single-product.php file to customize the layout, HTML structure, and design of the product page according to your needs.

Example 3: Customize WooCommerce Product Page Layout with CSS

This example demonstrates how to customize the layout of the WooCommerce product page using CSS. By targeting specific CSS classes or IDs, you can modify the styling and positioning of various elements on the product page.

/* Custom CSS to modify the product page layout */
.single-product .product {
    /* CSS rules for the product container */
}

.single-product .product .images {
    /* CSS rules for the product images */
}

.single-product .product .summary {
    /* CSS rules for the product summary section */
}

.single-product .product .description {
    /* CSS rules for the product description */
}

In this example, you can use custom CSS to target specific elements on the product page and modify their styling. The CSS classes .product, .images, .summary, and .description are used to target the product container, product images, product summary section, and product description respectively. You can add your own CSS rules within these selectors to customize the layout of the WooCommerce product page.
