Overview
Custom Theme Hook Settings in the AMS Plugin allow you to control where and how the “Buy Now” button appears on your shop and category pages, especially when using custom WordPress themes that modify WooCommerce’s default layout.
Basic Configuration
Enabling Custom Theme Hook
- Go to AMS Plugin Settings
- Find “Custom Theme Hook Settings”
- Use the toggle switch to enable/disable custom hook functionality

Setting the Custom Hook Name
- Locate the “Custom Theme Hook Name” input field
