Change template without child theme

    The website I’m working on takes orders with no shipping, then the shipping evaluated when products are packed, this is due to a very varied product mix. So we need the invoice to be an order confirmation. I can remove the invoice number and date, but need to change the word “Invoice” for “Order confirmation”. I have achieved this with a small change to the invoice.php file. The issue is that I really don’t want a child theme, is there another way to do this without one? Where is the template getting the word “invoice” from, can that be changed with a php snippet?

    Hi @lencw:

    You can achieve this with a code snippet, as described in the documentation: Custom PDF filenames.

    For your specific case, you can use this code snippet:

    /**
 * PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce:
 * Customize the invoice title
 */ 
add_filter( 'wpo_wcpdf_invoice_title', function( $title, $document ) {
    $title = 'Order confirmation';
    return $title;
}, 10, 2 );

    If you haven’t worked with code snippets (actions/filters) or functions.php before, read this guide: How to use filters

    Alternatively, with the?Professional extension, you can do this right in the documents’ settings (it is available for all them):

    In the screenshot above, you can see that the invoice title, as well as the PDF filename pattern, have been updated to ‘Receipt’.

    Thanks, that’s excellent, just the job and exactly how I wanted this to be solved. I use quite a lot of action/filters already, added using the Snippets plugin. Its finding the snippets that is the issue – thanks again. I will check out the professional plugin.

    If you don’t mind and have the time, do you think you could leave us a review?

    Yordan, yes will do.

    Further to this, during testing, realised that the file attachment on the customer email when they place the order is named “invoice-26685.pdf”, is there a way to change the file name from “invoice-” to something else with actions/filters?

    Yes, there is! You can achieve it with this code snippet:

    /**
 * PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce:
 * Customize the PDF invoice filename to 'order-confirmation-{$invoice_number}.pdf';
 */
add_filter( 'wpo_wcpdf_filename', function( $filename, $template_type, $order_ids, $context ) {
    $invoice_string = _n( 'invoice', 'invoices', count( $order_ids ), 'woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips' );
    $new_prefix = _n( 'order-confirmation', 'order-confirmations', count( $order_ids ), 'woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips' );
    $new_filename = str_replace( $invoice_string, $new_prefix, $filename );
 
    return $new_filename;
}, 10, 4 );

    Yordan, thanks, that’s useful. I have already sorted this by buying your pro version for the website in question, can achieve both the above in the pro plugin.
