In woocommerce order stock notes, before and after order qty is separated by → symbol like this:

Product xyz 25→22

How can i Change the → symbol to another symbol?

thanks a lot.

Answer 1

This can be done with the following code that will search for " → " character in Order notes content before saving the data.

This order note is added using the wc_trigger_stock_change_notifications() function that uses '→' to add the " → " character.

The code:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_new_order_note_data', 'filter_new_order_note_data', 10, 3 );
function filter_new_order_note_data( $data, $args ) {
    $replacement = ' to ';

    $data['comment_content'] = str_replace('→', $replacement, $data['comment_content']);

    return $data;
}

Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). Tested and work.

The order note before (without this code):

Then changing the order status to pending and back to processing (with the code):
