    I have installed the woocommerce version 2.4.6 and am trying to change the text of “Read More” button for a external product on a single product page.

    From tons of research, I have found this information for changing the text.

    [ Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button. ]

    add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_single_add_to_cart_text', 'woo_custom_cart_button_text' );

function custom_woocommerce_product_add_to_cart_text()
{
	global $product;
	$product_type = $product-> product_type;

	switch ( $product_type ) {
		case 'external':
			return __( 'Buy product', 'woocommerce' );
		break;
		case 'grouped':
			return __( 'View products', 'woocommerce' );
		break;
		case 'simple':
			return __( 'Add to cart', 'woocommerce' );
		break;
		case 'variable':
			return __( 'Select options', 'woocommerce' );
		break;
		default:
			return __( 'Buy Now', 'woocommerce' );
	}

}

    First i added this code to functions.php file of the theme.
    It didnt work

    Then i added it to the wc-template-functions.php file of the woocommmerce.
    It is still not working.

    Kindly let me know what i am not doing correctly.
    I need to change the text and URL. All quick help is highly appreciated.

    Your function looks good. You just need to change the add_filter() function to call the function you’ve defined below. You’ll want this in your theme’s functions.php file so you may want to remove the code you added to wc-template-functions.php.

    Change this: 

    add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_single_add_to_cart_text', 'woo_custom_cart_button_text' );

    to

    add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_single_add_to_cart_text', 'custom_woocommerce_product_add_to_cart_text' );

    .

    Then, in the custom_woocommerce_product_add_to_cart_text() function, change Buy product to whatever you would like to use for external products. Hope that helps.

    Okay thanks for the response.
    Have one more query- how can i create my own filter or action hook.
    I mean i want to create a hook called “woocommerce_myfilter_hook” and then add some functions to this.

    So, where should i register this hook so that wordpress knows that it needs to call the functions associated with this hook

    You would register the hook in your functions.php or inside your plugin if you were creating a plugin. Here is a simple example: 

    //functions.php

add_action('welcome_to_wordpress', 'welcome_callback');

function welcome_callback(){
	echo 'Welcome to WordPress!';
}

    Then inside any template you could call do_action(welcome_to_wordpress) to print Welcome to WordPress!.
