How to change the text of “Available On Backorder”?

Hi @haidermaa,

We have support documentation on modifying WooCommerce text strings here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-localization/#section-5

I hope that helps!

Hi!

Thanks for your prompt reply!

Is there any other way to do it perhaps through a custom Code Snippet other than translations?

Looking forward to your reply!

Sincerely,

Hayder

Hi @haidermaa

It looks like this article (https://woosnip.com/snips/change-backorder-text/) could meet your requirement.

Hi @maykato

Thanks for your reply!

I have tried that code but it doesn’t seem to work on my end.

I have something that i couldn’t understand in the code probably its why it doesn’t work.

function change_backorder_message( $text, $product ){
    if ( $product->managing_stock() && $product->is_on_backorder( 1 ) ) {
        $text = __( 'Available on Pre-Order', 'your-textdomain' );
    }
    return $text;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_availability_text', 'change_backorder_message', 10, 2 );

What is your ‘your-textdomain’ & what does it refer to? Do i need to modify that?

Looking forward to your reply!

Sincerely,

Hayder

Hello @haidermaa,

The following code seems to be working perfectly:

function alt_message() {
  return "This item may take 3-4 weeks to deliver";
}

function backorder_text($availability) {
$altmessage = alt_message();
foreach($availability as $i) {
$availability = str_replace('Available on backorder', $altmessage, $availability);
}
return $availability;
} 
add_filter('woocommerce_get_availability', 'backorder_text');

function woocommerce_custom_cart_item_name( $_product_title, $cart_item, $cart_item_key ) {
$altmessage = alt_message();
  if ( $cart_item['data']->backorders_require_notification() && $cart_item['data']->is_on_backorder( $cart_item['quantity'] ) ) {
$_product_title .=  __( ' - '. $altmessage, 'woocommerce' ) ;
}
return $_product_title;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_cart_item_name', 'woocommerce_custom_cart_item_name', 10, 3);
