Creating a custom WordPress Plugin to extend Store Exporter Deluxe |

This tutorial will show you how to create a custom WordPress Plugin that extends the Store Exporter Deluxe Plugin without making changes to your Theme or Child Theme’s functions.php file. This solution is strongly recommended where a Child Theme is not in use.

The action within this tutorial removes the first part of the Order Items: Product Name export column’s contents where this store has setup their Product Name to have a ‘/’ (forward slash) to separate Product Name details (e.g. Store Exporter Deluxe / WooCommerce where only Store Exporter Deluxe is required). You can replace the action within this Custom Add-on Plugin with any Code Snippet available on this website.
