How to Configure Custom Theme Hook Settings in AMS Plugin

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

  1. Go to AMS Plugin Settings
  2. Find “Custom Theme Hook Settings”
  3. Use the toggle switch to enable/disable custom hook functionality
  4. Enable only if your theme requires a custom button placement

Setting the Custom Hook Name

  1. Locate the “Custom Theme Hook Name” input field
  2. Enter your theme’s specific hook name
  3. Format example: “woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item”
  4. Leave empty to use the default WooCommerce layout

When to Use Custom Theme Hooks

Use custom hooks when:

  • Your theme modifies the default WooCommerce button placement
  • The default button position isn’t working correctly
  • Theme documentation specifies custom hooks
  • You need specific button positioning

Best Practices

Before Implementation

  1. Check your theme documentation
  2. Test on a staging site first
  3. Back up your site
  4. Note default button positions

Configuration Steps

  1. Enable custom theme hook
  2. Enter the correct hook name
  3. Test on shop pages
  4. Verify category pages
  5. Check mobile display

Troubleshooting

If buttons aren’t displaying correctly:

  1. Verify hook name spelling
  2. Ensure hook exists in the theme
  3. Check theme compatibility
  4. Clear cache after changes

Important Notes

Key Considerations

  • Only enable if necessary
  • Use exact hook names
  • Follow theme documentation
  • Test thoroughly after changes

Common Issues

  • Incorrect hook names
  • Multiple buttons appearing
  • Missing buttons
  • Layout conflicts
