How to Make an Extra Button in Woocommerce: A Guide with a Function

Introduction

Woocommerce is one of the most popular platforms for creating online stores. It provides many flexible options for customizing your store, including the ability to add additional buttons. In this guide, we will look at how to create an additional button in Woocommerce using functions and scripts.

Step 1: Create a function

The first step in creating an additional button in Woocommerce is to write a corresponding function in your WordPress theme. The function will be responsible for creating the button and its appearance.

To create a function, open your favorite text editor and create a new file. Name it something like “custom-functions.php”.

After that, paste the following code into the file:


function add_additional_button() {
echo '
Additional button
';
}


In this function, we have used the HTML element “a” to create a button, with the link “#” and the class “additional-button”. You can customize the link and class as you wish.

Step 2: Connecting the function

Once you have created the function, you need to connect it to your WordPress theme. To do this, you will need to edit the “functions.php” file of your theme.

Open the “functions.php” file in a text editor and add the following code to the end of the file:


include 'custom-functions.php';


Save your changes and upload the files back to your server. Your function is now added to your WordPress theme.

Step 3: Adding a button on the product page

Now that the function is created and connected to your theme, you can add the button to your Woocommerce product page. To do this, you will need to edit your theme’s “single-product.php” file.

Open the file “single-product.php” in a text editor and find the place where you want to place the button. Paste the following code into that place:


<?php add_additional_button(); ?>


Save the changes and upload the files back to your server. The product page will now display an additional button.

Step 4: Styling the Button

If you want to change the appearance of the button, you can add the appropriate styles to your theme's CSS file. Find your theme's “style.css” file and add the following code:


.additional-button {
background-color: #FF0000;
color: #FFFFFF;
padding: 10px;
border-radius: 5px;
}


In this example, we used some CSS properties to change the appearance of the button. You can customize the styles according to your preferences.

Conclusion

Now you have an extra button on your Woocommerce product page! You can use this button to add extra features or links that might be useful to your customers.
