Conditional tags in WooCommerce

What are “conditional tags”?

The conditional tags of WooCommerce and WordPress can be used in your template files to change what content is displayed based on what conditions the page matches. For example, you may want to display a snippet of text above the shop page. With the is_shop() conditional tag, you can.

Because WooCommerce uses custom post types, you can also use many of WordPress’ conditional tags. See codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags for a list of the tags included with WordPress.

Note: You can only use conditional query tags after the posts_selection action hook in WordPress (the wp action hook is the first one through which you can use these conditionals). For themes, this means the conditional tag will never work properly if you are using it in the body of functions.php.

Available conditional tags

All conditional tags test whether a condition is met, and then return either TRUE or FALSE. Conditions under which tags output TRUE are listed below the conditional tags.

The list below holds the main conditional tags. To see all conditional tags, visit the WooCommerce API Docs.

Working example

The example illustrates how you would display different content for different categories.

		if ( is_product_category() ) {

  if ( is_product_category( 'shirts' ) ) {
    echo 'Hi! Take a look at our sweet t-shirts below.';
  } elseif ( is_product_category( 'games' ) ) {
    echo 'Hi! Hungry for some gaming?';
  } else {
    echo 'Hi! Check out our products below.';
  }

}
