Hi, I’d like to add some simple information at the top of the shopping cart page. I’d prefer to do it without altering the shopping_cart.php template; is there a way to do it from WP admin? I’m just struggling to find a way because it looks like the shopping cart actually stems from the Event Registration page. Is there a way to do this? Thanks! | |
Hi Angela, There are several templates that are used with the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode, so the only want to add information to the shopping cart page would be to add it to the shopping_cart.php template. | |
Thanks Jonathan – no worries, I’ll just do that. I seem to be having a bit of an issue overriding the shopping_cart.php template; I just need to place a copy of it within my WP site’s theme folder and edit that one, right? For some reason it’s not picking up on the changes, so I just wanted to confirm that I’m putting it in the right folder. | |
Hi Angela, No. You’ll need to move the file over to the wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates folder. :) | |
It turns out there are some ways to add additional information without altering the template. One way is to use CSS. You can add something like this to your theme’s stylesheet: #event_espresso_shopping_cart:before { content:"My additional information for the cart page"; } There are also some action hooks within the shopping_cart.php template that could be used. Although using those to inject additional content will require some CSS tweaks because the hooks happen after the cart content. | |
Aha! That’ll do it…thanks to both of you for the quick responses :) Much appreciated! | |
