I know this is probably basic Wordpress coding but how would I achieve this?

Use the filter “wcvendors_pro_table_display_rows_path” — and return a path to the new template file. (/plugins/wc-vendors-pro/public/class-wcvendors-pro-table-helper.php Line #328.)

Line #328 of plugins/wc-vendors-pro/public/class-wcvendors-pro-table-helper.php is:

public function display_rows() {

        include apply_filters( 'wcvendors_pro_table_display_rows_path', 'partials/helpers/table/wcvendors-pro-table-data.php' );

    }

I have created a duplicate of wcvendors-pro-table-data.php in my child theme.

  • Does this answer your question? How apply_filters work in WordPress?

  • Can you elaborate what exactly you don't understand? The topic of filters and actions is widely covered, as it is core element in WP development. I understand in the beginning it might be difficult to grip - similarly it is difficult for me to help without fully understanding what your problem with the concept is.

  • Sorry I will try and explain...the file wcvendors-pro-table-data.php is in a directory that can't be edited without being wiped when the plugin is updated. The developer suggested that I use the filter 'wcvendors_pro_table_display_rows_path' to specific a path to the new file that will be in my child theme folder and hence not be wiped when updated. Using actions and filters is like a minefield and so I appreciate any advice.

Create the template you want to use, say wc-vp-table-rows.php, put it in your theme, and add the following to your functions.php:

add_filter( 
    'wcvendors_pro_table_display_rows_path', 
    fn() => locate_template( 'wc-vp-table-rows.php' )
);

locate_template() returns a complete path; it also searches in parent and child themes.

    Something to take into account, PHP arrow function, fn (argument_list) => expr, is a single line only and is available for version >= 7.4, so if you ecnouter any problems with this use a regular anonymous function.
