Documentation for Info Blocks for WooCommerce Plugin

Info Blocks for WooCommerce plugin lets you add any custom content (i.e. “info blocks”) to numerous positions in WooCommerce.

How It Works?

1. You create new info block via “WooCommerce > Info Blocks > Add New” from your admin dashboard.
2. For this newly created block you must set: title (visible to admin only), content and position.
3. Also optionally you can set visibility options (i.e. show info block for selected posts (e.g. products) only).
4. You can create as many different info blocks as you need. Each block will have its own content, position, visibility etc.

For example, if you would like to add some message to single product pages, right before the product meta (i.e. before the product SKU, category etc.), you would need to create new info block, set its content to e.g. <strong>30 days money return guarantee!</strong> and set position to Single product: Inside single product summary with position priority set to 39:

After you “publish” the block, this information will be added to all your products at front end:

As you can see from the example above, you can use HTML in your block’s content. Additionally you can use shortcodes to retrieve site’s or post’s (e.g. product’s) specific information. E.g.:

Product's total sales: [alg_wc_ib_get_post_meta key="total_sales"]

Admin email: [alg_wc_ib_get_option option="admin_email"]

If you need to add custom meta to your products, you can use standard WordPress Custom Fields functionality.

Finally – if you would like to show (or hide) the block on specific posts (i.e. products) only, you can fill in the “Visibility” meta box. For example, if you set “Visible (required) post IDs” option to 1234,1456, then current block will be shown only for products with 1234 and 1456 IDs and will be hidden from single product pages for all other products.

Positions

Below you can see all available info block positions. For each position – existing/known WooCommerce hooks and priorities are listed (this is not a final list, as your theme or other plugins may add their own hooks). So, for example, if you would need to output some info block on “Inside single product summary” right after product title, you would need to choose Inside single product summary position and set priority to 6.
