Add “View Product” button below add to cart button in WooCommerce archives pages

Question

Most of the articles on the internet are about How to remove / replace the \"view product\" or \"read more\" button.

Answer 1

Use this custom function hooked in woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item action hook, to add your custom button linked to the product (except variable and grouped product types):

add_action('woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item', 'add_a_custom_button', 5 );
function add_a_custom_button() {
    global $product;

    // Not for variable and grouped products that doesn't have an "add to cart" button
    if( $product->is_type('variable') || $product->is_type('grouped') ) return;

    // Output the custom button linked to the product
    echo '<div style="margin-bottom:10px;">
        <a class="button custom-button" href="' . esc_attr( $product->get_permalink() ) . '">' . __('View product') . '</a>
    </div>';
}

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

Tested and still perfectly works on WooCommerce 3.7.x (with last storefront theme):

Embedding your styles (related to author comments):

add_action('wp_head', 'custom_button_styles', 9999 );
function custom_button_styles() {
    if( is_shop() || is_product_category() || is_product_tag() ):

    // The styles
    ?>
    <style>
        .button.custom-button { background-color: white !important;
            color: black !important; border: 2px solid #4CAF50 !important; }
        .button.custom-button:hover { background-color: black !important;
            color: white !important; border: 2px solid black !important; }
    </style>
    <?php
    endif;
}

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

Tested and works.
