YITH Points and Rewards Currency Symbol not appearing correctly

Hello Greg,

Based on your description, this issue does not appear to be directly related to the WooCommerce currency settings or XStore functionality. The currency position (before or after the amount) in WooCommerce is applied only when values are formatted using native WooCommerce functions such as wc_price().

In this case, the YITH Points and Rewards plugin outputs the points value independently and most likely does not use the standard WooCommerce price formatting. This is why the Rand symbol (R) appears after the amount instead of before it.

To confirm this, we recommend performing the following checks:
1. Temporarily switch to the default WooCommerce single product layout (disable the XStore Single Product Builder) and verify whether the issue persists.
2. Switch to a default theme (e.g., Storefront) to see if the output changes.
3. Inspect the HTML output of the points value. If the currency symbol is hardcoded or appended manually, it confirms that the formatting is controlled by the YITH plugin.

If the issue persists across different themes, it indicates that the output originates from the YITH plugin rather than the theme.

As a workaround, this can be adjusted through a small customization, for example, by using a filter or string replacement to reposition the currency symbol:

add_filter('yith_ywpar_points_currency_format', function($formatted){
    return preg_replace('/(\d+)\s?R/', 'R $1', $formatted);
});

Alternatively, it may be necessary to override the YITH template responsible for rendering the points value, depending on how the plugin structures its output.

At the theme level, there is no control over this specific output since it does not use WooCommerce price formatting functions.

If needed, we recommend contacting the YITH plugin support team to check whether they provide a filter or setting for adjusting the currency position in their points display.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your detailed feedback and for sharing your observations. We appreciate the time you have taken to investigate the issue.

We understand that the snippet did not work as expected and that the YITH points value appears to have the symbol and amount in the wrong order. This does seem to be related to the way the YITH plugin outputs the price structure. We recommend reaching out to the YITH support team to confirm whether this is a known issue or if they can provide a fix for the output format.

If you receive any additional information from them or need further assistance from our side, please let us know, and we will be happy to help.

Warm Regards,
