What are “conditional tags”?

↑ Back to top

The conditional tags of WooCommerce and WordPress can be used in your template files to change what content is displayed based on what conditions the page matches. For example, you may want to display a snippet of text above the shop page. With the is_shop() conditional tag, you can. Because WooCommerce uses custom post types, you can also use many of WordPress’ conditional tags. See: http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags for a list of the tags included with WordPress.

Note: You can only use conditional query tags after the posts_selection action hook in WordPress (the wp action hook is the first one through which you can use these conditionals). For themes, this means the conditional tag will never work properly if you are using it in the body of functions.php.

Available conditional tags

The example illustrates how you would display different content for different categories.

	if ( is_product_category() ) {

	if ( is_product_category( 'shirts' ) ) {
	echo 'Hi! Take a look at our sweet tshirts below.';
	} elseif ( is_product_category( 'games' ) ) {
	echo 'Hi! Hungry for some gaming?';
	} else {
	echo 'Hi! Check our our products below.';
