[Resolved] I need to change the Multi currency shortcode location

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
I am having an issue with changing the Multi-currency shortcode location to show after the "Add to Cart" button on my WooCommerce site.

Solution:
Disable the WCML currency switcher from the product details page by going to WP > WooCommerce > WCML > Multi-currency. Then, add the following code snippet to your theme in the desired location:

do_action('wcml_currency_switcher', array(
  'format' => '%code%',
  'switcher_style' => 'wcml-horizontal-list'));

Relevant Documentation:

https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/wcml-hooks-reference/

Hi,

Before your ticket is assigned to one of my colleagues, please allow me to walk you through some initial debugging steps. This will help speed up the support process.

You can learn about adding the currency switcher shortcode in our guide here.

https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/multi-currency-support-woocommerce/#currency-switcher-shortcode

You probably need to add this shortcode to the relevant template in your theme. Here is another guide that may help you achieve this.

Thank you very much for the reply.

I tried to check your site because it seems that something is breaking the currency switcher position, but I couldn't because it is locked.

In general, we are using hooks in order to position the currency switcher. No need to edit anything. You can use our hooks to place a currency swither wherever you need.

Please read our hooks page here :

Thank you very much for the access.

I checked it and it is what I told you. The product Meta section is at the bottom, so this is the reason the currency switcher is there.

You can use the hooks I have shared with you, or you can read our documentation for custom currency template here:

https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/multi-currency-support-woocommerce/#currency-switcher-shortcode

I hope this helps. Please let us know how it goes or if you need any further assistance. I'll gladly help you. 🙂

I cannot share the whole custom code , because it is out of the scope of this support.

But I can give you some instructions.

First, you can totally disable WCML to show currency swither from the product details page.

You can find the setting in WP > WooCommerce > WCML > Multi-currency

Then you can go to your theme and add something like this, in the place you wish to display the currency : 

do_action('wcml_currency_switcher', array(
  'format' => '%code%',
  'switcher_style' => 'wcml-horizontal-list'

Or choose the best settings you wish, from the documentation I have already shared.

I hope this helps. Please let us know how it goes or if you need any further assistance. I'll gladly help you. 🙂

Andreas
