How to create currency links without shortcode

Sometimes customer want to place links for currencies changing into his site header.php. Or smth another… But if to place link simply as: <a href=”/?currency=USD”>USD</a> – it will redirect user to the main page – what is not convenient. In such case JavaScript can help you!

  • Drop links with the currencies you are need into the place you are need (header.php), example:
    <a href=”#” data-currency=”USD” class=”wpcs_currency_link”>USD</a>
    <a href=”#” data-currency=”EUR” class=”wpcs_currency_link”>EUR</a>
    <a href=”#” data-currency=”GBP” class=”wpcs_currency_link”>GBP</a>
  • Somewhere in your theme.js or in the footer.php drop the next js code:
    jQuery(function () {
     jQuery('.wpcs_curr_link').click(function () {
        window.location.href = location.protocol + '//' + location.host + location.pathname + '?currency=' + jQuery(this).data('curr');
     });
    });
