WooCommerce – Add Phone Numbers to Header of Storefront Theme

I happen to like web stores that have contact details in prominent locations so it’s useful to be able to add phone numbers to the header of a site using WooCommerce. In my particular application I’m using the Storefront theme.  Firstly you need a  bit of CSS in your child theme’s style.css file. Your widths might be different and I’ve adjusted the margin of the site-search div to compress things a bit.

.header-contact-details {
    width: 50.7391304348%;
    float: right;
    margin-right: 0;
    clear: none;
}

.site-search{
    margin-bottom:10px;
}

Then you can use the storefront_header action to insert some code into the header.  To set the priority of the insertion have a look at the storefront header.php file.  In  my case I wanted the new HTML in between storefront_product_search and storefront_primary_navigation_wrapper so I set the priority to land in between those two.


//add phone numbers to header

    add_action('storefront_header', 'storefront_add_header_phone', 41);

    function storefront_add_header_phone()
    {
        ?>

        <div class="header-contact-details" style="text-align:right"><p style="color: rgb(64, 48, 74);font-weight:600;font-size:20px;"><i class="fa fa-phone" style="color:rgb(155, 126, 230)"></i> 555 555 555 (AUS)  <i class="fa fa-phone" style="color:rgb(155, 126, 230)"></i> +61 555 555 555 (INTL)</p></div>
        <?php
    }

The code is pretty clear, I make use of the font awesome font set to have some pretty phone icons and colour them to match the rest of the site style. Of course there’s a little bit of CSS inline here that could be moved into the style.css file but for now it works and I am happy with that. Here’s the what the end result looks like:
