how to change woocommerce currency symbol

Hi, you will need to hook into the woocommerce_currency_symbol filter and then set the symbol to Rs. Something along these lines

add_filter( 'woocommerce_currency_symbol', 'my_custom_currency_symbol' );
function my_custom_currency_symbol( $symbol, $currency ) {
    return 'Rs';
}

Hi Gerhad

it doesn’t work and Sadly after pasting this code, it crashed my site. Had to go in via cpanel and remove plugin to get the website back.

Hi, sorry about that. I should have made it clear I did not test the code but provided it as a guide.

Here is the tested code that I can confirm work.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_currency_symbol', 'my_custom_currency_symbol' );
function my_custom_currency_symbol( $symbol ) {
    return 'Rs';
}

Hi how to add the code? I was trying it using PHP code snippet plugin

here the error https://snag.gy/MohNqi.jpg

I am not familiar with the plugin, try adding the code to your theme’s function.php file, or use the theme customisation plugin and add it to that functions.php file https://github.com/woocommerce/theme-customisations

Hi Guys,

thanks for the above questions and answers, I came across the same, Gerhard – Thanks mate for the coding but this changes all the currencies to have (in my case QA instead of Rs), and when I get the translation to Arabic Its different meaning also.

Please help.

Thanks,
