Remove first word from the WooCommerce product title

Is it possible to remove the first word from the product title in WooCommerce? I've found some php code but I can't figure it out at the moment.

echo substr(strstr("Remove First Word"," "), 1);

That should echo "First Word". How would I do that for the WooCommerce product title? I appreciate all the help!

Yes it is, first of. Where do you want to serve the product title? Checkout? Product list? Product page? – Yvan Watchman

Thanks for your answer Yvan. It should work on every frontend page. – Valixx

@Fluxec, see my answer on how to do the first word remove. – user2342558

@Fluxec The product title uses Wordpress function get_the_title() or the_title() to be displayed (as woocommerce product is a custom post type)… so the correct hook to be used is "the_title", see my answer please. – LoicTheAztec

Oh I see. Thank you LoicTheAztec. I've answered below. – Valixx

use this:

  $str = "Remove First Word";
  $words = explode(' ', $str);
  unset($words[0]);
  echo join(' ', $words);

The explode function returns an array with each words.

The unset function remove the first word contained in the array $words.

Finally, join print all $words joined by space .

For product title in single product pages and archives pages:

add_filter( 'the_title', 'custom_the_title', 10, 2 );
function custom_the_title( $title, $post_id ){
    $post_type = get_post_field( 'post_type', $post_id, true );
    if( $post_type == 'product' || $post_type == 'product_variation' )
        $title = substr( strstr( $title, ' ' ), 1 );

    return $title;
}

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

Tested and works.

The product title uses WordPress function get_the_title() or the_title() to be displayed (as woocommerce product is a custom post type)… so the correct filter hook to be used is "the_title".

But it will not really handle html tags (as this are something else in the templates).

For cart and checkout pages:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_cart_item_name', 'customizing_cart_item_name', 10, 3);
function customizing_cart_item_name( $item_name, $cart_item, $cart_item_key ) {
    $product = $cart_item['data'];
    $product_permalink = $product->is_visible() ? $product->get_permalink( $cart_item ) : '';

    $product_name = $product->get_name();
    $product_name = substr( strstr( $product_name, ' ' ), 1 );

    if ( $product_permalink && is_cart() ) {
        return sprintf( '<a href="%s">%s</a>', esc_url( $product_permalink ), $product_name );
    } elseif ( ! $product_permalink && is_cart() ) {
        return $product_name . '&nbsp;';
    } else {
        return $product_name;
    }
}

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

Tested and works.

Could you try using this?

if ( ! function_exists( 'woocommerce_template_loop_product_title' ) ) {

    /**
    * Removes first word in WooCommerce product_title
    * @var $tag
    */
    function woocommerce_template_loop_product_title() {
        $tag = is_product_taxonomy() || is_shop() ? 'h2' : 'h3';

        echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_template_loop_product_title', '<' . $tag . ' class="woocommerce-loop-product__title">' . substr(strstr(get_the_title()," "), 1) . '</' . $tag . '>');
    }

    /**
     * Removes first word in WooCommerce product page product_title
     * @var $tag
     */
    function woocommerce_single_product_summary() {
        $tag = 'h1';

        echo apply_filters(woocommerce_single_product_summary, '<' . $tag . ' class="product_title entry-title">' . substr(strstr(get_the_title()," "), 1) . '</' . $tag . '>');
    }
}

Hopefully this works out for you, haven't tested it.
