    Hey everyone. I have a store setup and working great but wanted to make my customers better onformed about back orders. To accomplish this, I want to have the backorder text become “Available on backorder (What is a backorder?)” with a link to the page with a detailed description of what a backorder entails.

    I did find some code to replace the string for backorders with my own text, but im not very familiar with PHP and I’m not sure how to add a link inside as well. Your help would be appreciated.

    Here is the code I’m using ATM in my child theme:

    function backorder_text($available) {

    foreach($available as $i) {

    $available = str_replace(‘Available on backorder’, ‘YOUR NEW TEXT GOES HERE’, $available);

    }

    return $available; } add_filter(‘woocommerce_get_availability’, ‘backorder_text’);

    You cannot add links there because it’s escaped.

    How about using woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_form instead.

    add_action( 'woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_form', 'custom_woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_form' );

function custom_woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_form() {
global $product;

if ( $product->backorders_allowed() ) {
?>
Put some text and <a href="#">links here.</a>
<?php
}
}

    That works great! Thanks.

    and if you want to show a text notification that the backorder is not allowed?

    i’ve tried with
    if ( $product->backorders_notallowed() )
    but that dosen’t work

    To show something when backorders are not allowed, you need to use a different hook. Using woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_form will not output anything when backorders are not allowed, since the add to cart form is suppressed.

    Furthermore $product->backorders_notallowed() does not exist ;). Instead use the “!” operator to indicate “not true”.

    I have renamed Mikes original function and added one that shows info when backorders are not allowed, along with the product meta. Here you go:
