Changing currency notation

    Hi is there a shortcode that can change the standard display notation of currencies? Eg for many currency that use the dollar there is no differentiation because they all simply use the $ symbol. How do i add USD cad aud hkd etc before the symbol to denote difference? Eg USD $xx , CAD $xx, HKD $xx, etc etc. After parsing through the many different currencies majority of dollar currencies do not have any textual notation to signify their differences, all simply use the same symbol, this creates lots of confusion and hurts sales.

    Pls advise at your earliest thanks.

    Hi ckwang,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    There is a setting to display the currency code to discriminate those currencies in the Pro version.

    Please upgrade your plan to achieve it https://tppr.me/MNDr6

    Hi Bruce actually the request is quite clear and straightforward. Is it possible to put yay currency switcher/widget inside the header instead of in the menu. I would like to add that currently it is the case in desktop or when screen size is at a bigger size, but once smaller like in smartphone size it disappears. I would like it to show even when screen is smaller. Screenshot attached for reference thx. Your plugin is very well designed but unfortunately the fact it disappears once screen size shrinks is a serious downside that I’m trying o ask if can be addressed with this post. If people cannot see the currency switcher when screen resolution is smaller it seriously affects ux as I’m sure majority of people will assume it isn’t even there at all frankly speaking.

    you can see from below image it is clearly visible in desktop size screen but in first image it is gone and retreated into the menu.

    i’ve played around with and there is no option to put the currency switcher as a widget to be inserted into the header proper.

    technically speaking above image with translation in header is not truely in the header, it is simply a part of the menu which simply expands when screen size is bigger, leading to the illusion that the translator is in the header when in reality it actually isn’t.

    pls advise at your earliest thanks

    sorry i have blue light filter on so screen looks darker than usual

    apparently if you can provide shortcode then it would e possible to insert currency switcher into header as custom html widget

    Hi @ckwang,

    Thanks for the reference, and now I totally understand your requirement!

    Indeed! Please note that YayCurrency plugin offers shortcode functionality which allows you to display currency switcher anywhere on your website.

    But the ability to recognize and display shortcode in the header section of your website depends solely on your theme (if it does allow or not).

    You can see the shortcodes via the Advanced settings like this:

    Hope this helps!

    ok thx ! Other than the offered shortcode are there html codes as well? Some areas do not accept shortcodes(afaik only used in block editors of page contents and anywhere else), but instead utilize html codes (code snippets) instead(wpcode plugin for example). Thx

    this error makes absolutely no sense because ssb is a completely different unrelated plugin which through asset cleanup plugin has been disabled on homepage
