About Saudi Riyal Icon
From the official readme · v1.2.0Description
The Saudi Riyal Icon plugin replaces the “SAR” or “ر.س” currency symbol with a custom SVG icon on your WordPress site. Designed for seamless integration with WooCommerce, it enhances the visual appeal of prices in the shop, cart, checkout, customer order details, and emails. For PDF invoices it uses the standard text symbol “ر.س” for reliable rendering. No coding required — just activate and it works automatically!
Features
- Replaces “SAR” or “ر.س” with a custom SVG icon in WooCommerce prices (shop, product pages, cart, checkout, thank-you page, admin order details, customer order details, and emails).
- Uses the text symbol “ر.س” in PDF invoices for reliable rendering (compatible with WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing slips).
- Supports non-WooCommerce sites by safely replacing “SAR” or “ر.س” in page content.
- Automatically adjusts icon spacing for RTL (Arabic) and LTR (English) layouts.
- Ensures consistent 20px icon size across all contexts (except PDFs, which use text).
- Lightweight, secure, and translation-ready (includes Arabic .po/.mo support).
- Proper WooCommerce checks to prevent errors when WooCommerce is not active.
Installation
- Upload the
saudi-riyal-iconfolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory. - Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress.
- Done! The “SAR” or “ر.س” symbol will be replaced with the SVG icon automatically (PDF invoices use the text symbol “ر.س”).
Frequently asked questions
Does this plugin require WooCommerce?
No. It works with or without WooCommerce. It replaces “SAR” or “ر.س” in WooCommerce prices and also in regular page content.
Where is the SVG icon stored?
The SVG icon is located in assets/sr.svg inside the plugin folder. Make sure this file is present.
Why does the plugin use a text symbol in PDF invoices?
To ensure compatibility and compliance with WordPress guidelines. PDF invoices use the standard “ر.س” text symbol instead of an image.
Can I customize the icon size?
The SVG icon size is set to 20px for optimal display. Developers can modify the CSS in the add_icon_styles and add_admin_icon_styles methods.
