To add the feature I have divided it into 3 section
- // Trigger Holiday Mode
add_action ('init', 'woo_woocommerce_holiday_mode');- // Disable Cart, Checkout, Add Cart
function woo_woocommerce_holiday_mode() {
remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item', 'woocommerce_template_loop_add_to_cart', 10 );
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_add_to_cart', 30 );
remove_action( 'woocommerce_proceed_to_checkout', 'woocommerce_button_proceed_to_checkout', 20 );
remove_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_order_review', 'woocommerce_checkout_payment', 20 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_main_content', 'woo_wc_shop_disabled', 5 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_cart', 'woo_wc_shop_disabled', 5 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_checkout_form', 'woo_wc_shop_disabled', 5 );
}- // Show Holiday Notice
function woo_wc_shop_disabled() {
wc_print_notice( 'Our Online Shop is Closed Today :) Please Come Back Tomorrow!', 'error');
}Note : You can customize the notice to a custom note.
In conclusion: Here is the full code to use in to add the feature to your WooCommerce website:
