Thousand separator for numbers

[ad_1]

Hey guys,

I’m trying to figure out a way to add thousand separators to numbers. I’ve searched many places and also in here which was the closest, but a post from 5 years ago which didn’t seem to solve the issue.

I’m using Elementor Pro + Hello theme.

Here’s the code I’m currently using in an HTML widget right before the number I wish to format.

<script>
jQuery(function($){
function numberWithCommas(number) {
var parts = number.toString().split(“.”);
parts[0] = parts[0].replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, “,”);
return parts.join(“.”);
}
$(document).ready(function() {
$(“#price_figure p,#wickydesign h2”).each(function() {
var num = $(this).text();
var commaNum = numberWithCommas(num);
$(this).text(commaNum);
});
});
});
</script>

It shows the formatting on the front end while I am logged into WordPress but as long as I’m logged out, the formatting is lost.

Here are photos to help explain:

If you have a solution, when it’s being proposed, if it is a snippet, let me know also where it should be placed, e.g. in the html widget, CSS or PHP functions. I’m still new to the backend of all this as I relied heavily on the page builder to do the heavy lifting.

Thanks in advance!

  1. Your jQuery function should be in the head or footer, rather than an html widget. It’s likely not running when logged out. Check console for errors. You see a jQuery undefined error?

    This function can be written much more cleanly. Consider rewriting it.
