Hi,
To remove the “the customer matched zone Lower 48 + DC” message from the cart in the Storefront theme, you’ll need to use some custom code. Additionally, you can add a message for customers in Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada. Here’s how you can do it:
Removing the Existing Message:
- Create a Child Theme (if not already using one): It’s a good practice to use a child theme when customizing your theme to prevent your changes from being lost during updates. If you’re not using one, you can create it following WordPress guidelines.
- Locate the Cart Template: You’ll need to find the template file responsible for rendering the cart page. In the Storefront theme, this file is usually named
cart.php. You can check the theme’s folder for this file.
- Edit the Template File: Open the
cart.php file in your child theme or main theme directory. Look for the code that displays the message and remove it. The code may look something like this:
<p class="shipping-message"><?php echo esc_html( $some_variable_containing_the_message ); ?></p>
You can comment out or delete this line of code.
- Save Changes: After making the changes, save the
cart.php file.
- Clear Cache: If you’re using a caching plugin, clear the cache to ensure your changes are reflected.
Adding a Custom Message:
To display a custom message for customers in Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada, you can use the wp_footer action hook to add JavaScript code that will display the message. Here’s an example of how you can do it:
- Edit your theme’s
functions.php file: This file is located in your theme or child theme directory.
- Add the following code to
functions.php:
function custom_shipping_message() {
if (is_cart() || is_checkout()) {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
var allowedZones = ['AK', 'HI', 'CAN']; // Define the allowed zones
var userZone = 'AK'; // Replace with code to get the user's zone
if (allowedZones.indexOf(userZone) === -1) {
// Display a custom message for users not in the allowed zones
$('.cart_totals').prepend('<div class="shipping-message">Please contact us for shipping options.</div>');
}
});
</script>
<?php
}
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'custom_shipping_message');
This code checks if the user is on the cart or checkout page and whether they are in one of the allowed zones (Alaska, Hawaii, or Canada). If the user is not in one of these zones, it will display the custom message.
- Save Changes: Save your
functions.php file.
- Clear Cache: Clear your caching plugin’s cache if you’re using one.
This code will add the custom message for customers in Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada on the cart and checkout pages. Make sure to replace 'AK' with the appropriate code to determine the user’s zone based on your setup. You can also customize the message as needed.
