Changing Cart & Shop Page Titles – Will WooCommerce Still Work?

    I have searched and found nothing that addresses this question, as to whether WooCommerce plugin still works as designed if we change the Cart page title and Shop page title to something else.

    Example:
    Cart page title changed to “Shopping Cart”
    Shop page Title changed to “All Products”

    So will all the button links, purchases, etc all still work or does the WooCommerce functions depend on those pages being specifically named as Cart and Shop?

    (Note: these changes are not via CSS or PHP, it is actually changing the page title and slug, so the page link changes from “/shop” to “/all-products”).

    Thanks

  • Yes, I believe this will work. I just tried it and it’s working. Find the ‘Shop’ and ‘Cart’ pages via the admin dashboard and edit the permalink and the titles for each page and then update them. Make sure to do this updating through the UI as you normally would (the Pages section of the admin dashboard, etc…) and not the database, for example.

    I was initially worried about the re-write rules causing problems if you did this but it appears to update them automatically after updating the pages. Internally, the shop and cart pages are identified by an id (and not a slug) so you’re good there as well, as far as I know.

    Be sure to backup your site before making these changes just in case you need to rollback.

    Thanks very much for the confirmation, plus you mentioned something I totally forgot, that was the ID number assigned to the page.

    The automatic update also occurs, even with the page as a menu item, and no doubt the menu item is updated per the page ID number, not by any title or slug (alias) name.

    …and yes, backing up is always a good idea.
