Unable to change “place order” text

    Hey guys, I tried to change the text for the Place Order button on the checkout page and was not able to! This is a recap :
    My wordpress front and back end are in french
    My site is 100% in french except the order review part of the checkout page
    When I edit the page in Elementor, I see it Ok in french : Payer
    When I refresh the live page, I see it in french for a second then it loads in english.
    I tried this code snippet : add_filter( ‘woocommerce_order_button_text’, ‘wpglorify_rename_place_order_button’ );

    function wpglorify_rename_place_order_button() {
    return ‘PAYER ‘;
    }
    I tried to locate the string of text using loco translate
    I searched : All core pluggins, woocomerce and theme for the “place order” string and translated it everywhere it was not already.
    I tried to create a custom checkout page using CartFlows pluggin.
    There is a setting specificaly for the text on that button. It shows Ok in french in Elementor but always loads the english “Place order”

    Does any of this ring a bell to one of you guys? Is is overwritten by my theme maybe? I do not know what to try anymore!
    Thank you in advance

    You could try this snippet, but you may also need to add a translator.

    add_filter( 'woocommerce_order_button_text', 'woo_custom_order_button_text' ); 

function woo_custom_order_button_text() {
    return __( 'Whatever You Want To Say Here', 'woocommerce' ); 
}

    I added this snippet and used loco translate. issue still there. Loco translate should work right? I did translate the place order string and saved. I targeted that the square pluggin might be causing this. It shows ok in french when it is deactivated.

    There may be other circumstances, but that snippet works. Tested & works. And you cleared cache as well?

    Yeah the snippet should work but it is not. It is overwritten by something right?

    Where are you adding the snippet by the way? What file?

    I go in appearance, Theme editor, and click on Function PHP, then I add the code at the end.

    While I don’t advise anyone ever edit that way, if that’s all you have so be it. Please use a child theme in the future and FTP to edit files. The way you’re doing it is not advised.

    Try adding it immediately after the opening <?php

    Still does not work. I will research on how to create a child theme.

    If it doesn’t work then something is controlling your theme. I did see Elementor being used and that plugin has a tendency to override everything.

    The snippet works but the change is only visible in Elementor preview, not on the live site. I purged all cache everywhere, tried multiple brownsers.

    Have you tried in an incognito/private browser?

    yes

    Then my money is on a plugin or Elementor. That’s a premium theme you’re using? So you may want to ask the author as well.

    They were not very helpful yet.
    I deactivated all plugins except woocommerce. Now the snippet works pefectly fine.
    Its the woocommerce Square payments pluggin that is causing this. Issue shows up when I activate it.
    Knowing that, I have to find a way translate that pluggin.
    Loco Translate did not seem to work. Maybe I am doing something wrong.
    On the good path. I appreciate all the help btw thank you.

    Ok so now turn on each plugin one by one until it doesn’t work anymore and then you’ll know which one it is.
