How to change the Weight Suffix?

You can easily change the weight suffix using the filter below. Please modify the suffix according to your needs and place the code in the functions.php file of the theme you are currently using:

”’woo_cart_weight/cart_weight”’ – modify displaying weight
”’woo_cart_weight/weight_unit”’ – modify the unit

For example:
”’add_filter( ‘woo_cart_weight/weight_unit’, ‘woo_cart_weight_weight_unit’ );
/**
* @param string $weight_unit
*
* @retun string
*/
function woo_cart_weight_weight_unit( $weight_unit ) {
$weight_unit = “%”;
return ( $weight_unit );”’

It Works just fine!

By SYMEON STAVRAKIDIS (simosedessa) on January 20, 2025

It works fine and thank you for providing it to the community.
I have a suggestion . For store owners it would be great to see the whole cart weight in admin panel also in order to decide and maybe change the shipping method when the default method could create problems.

Works fine and simple, many too much simple

Very good plugin, easy to install and use. Perhaps it would be interesting to be able to personalize the appearance to highlight this information? And above all, above all, would it be possible to display it on the order in the backoffice please? Thanks again.

Great Plugin For Free

By hickmandesign on August 2, 2023

Perfect plugin for what I need, shows the weight on the cart and checkout on Salient theme. Would be cool to be able to see the weight in the cart icon on my shop in the top right menu, how would one do this? Many thanks 🙂

Does what it says

A great plugin and works well. Thank you

Simple and does what it says it does

By nexusec on September 2, 2021

5 stars for the simple plugin. It worked exactly like how it states. Works with the default theme and template with no problem for me. At first I was confused seeing as to where do I set the settings or options but then I reread the description and figured out it had no options yet. Not a problem for me I checked my cart and it was working perfectly fine. Thanks a lot.

Did EXACTLY what it said

By jhenweeden on August 28, 2021

Perfectly displays the weight. We were also able to use it for code to conditionally package orders – simple and useable. Free but made me look at the developers – good code, good omen

Works.

The plugin does what it says it does, and the people behind it are very friendly. Recently my "total weight" translations were gone from my clients stores, so I emailed WP desk - instead of writing them in the forum here, as I should have - and they still helped me out immediately. Cheers!

just aktivate and translate. works like a charm
