Related products automatically show on the WooCommerce Single Product page. We’ve already seen some tutorials here on Business Bloomer regarding them, such as one for displaying a custom list of related products instead of the default one, which uses product categories and tags in common.
Today I want to cover the actual “Related products” title (H2) and also find a way to display an additional piece of content right below it (subheading). Enjoy!
Here’s the customized view of the Related Products section on the WooCommerce Single Product page: a different heading (“Customers also viewed” instead of “Related products”) and add a new subheading.
PHP Snippet #1: Rename “Related products” Title @ WooCommerce Single Product Page
WooCommerce gives us a nice filter so that we can completely change the wording. For example, let’s change “Related products” to “Customers also viewed”:
/** * @snippet Rename Related Products Heading @ WooCommerce Single Product * @how-to Get CustomizeWoo.com FREE * @author Rodolfo Melogli * @compatible WooCommerce 7 * @donate $9 https://businessbloomer.com/bloomer-armada/ */ add_filter( ‘woocommerce_product_related_products_heading’, ‘bbloomer_rename_related_products’ ); function bbloomer_rename_related_products() { return “Customers also viewed”; }
PHP Snippet #2: Add Subheading Below “Related products” Heading @ WooCommerce Single Product Page
You may also want to add more text below “Related products”, for SEO and marketing purposes. This is a little trickier as there is no WooCommerce action hook available, so I had to find a workaround and print content BEFORE the related products loop:
/** * @snippet Related Products Subheading @ WooCommerce Single Product * @how-to Get CustomizeWoo.com FREE * @author Rodolfo Melogli * @compatible WooCommerce 7 * @donate $9 https://businessbloomer.com/bloomer-armada/ */ add_filter( ‘woocommerce_product_loop_start’, ‘bbloomer_related_products_subheading’ ); function bbloomer_related_products_subheading( $html ) { if ( wc_get_loop_prop( ‘name’, ‘related’ ) ) { $html = ‘
Here you can find a selection of popular products that were viewed and purchased by other customers based on your interests. Enjoy!
‘. $html; } return $html; }
Where to add this snippet?
You can place PHP snippets at the bottom of your child theme functions.php file (delete “?>” if you have it there). CSS, on the other hand, goes in your child theme style.css file. Make sure you know what you are doing when editing such files – if you need more guidance, please take a look at my free video tutorial “Where to Place WooCommerce Customization?”
Does this snippet (still) work?
Please let me know in the comments if everything worked as expected. I would be happy to revise the snippet if you report otherwise (please provide screenshots). I have tested this code with Storefront theme, the WooCommerce version listed above and a WordPress-friendly hosting on PHP 7.3.
