Woocommerce – Adding HTML link to a PHP message array

In the Woocommerce login module there is a piece of text that needs to be edited and a register link placed inside of the message. But if I just add in the HTML tags around the link then the code shows up in the text and not as a link.

This is the original code in the form-login.php file

'message'  => esc_html__( 'If you have shopped with us before, please enter your details below. If you are a new customer, please proceed to the Billing section.', 'woocommerce' ),

This is how I have changed it to include Register and the link:

'message'  => esc_html__( 'If you have shopped with us before, please enter your details below. If you are a new customer, please' . '<a href="#login" class="register-text">Register</a>' . ' to proceed.', 'woocommerce' ),

I also tried the following but it broke the site so not an option:

'message'  => esc_html__( 'If you have shopped with us before, please enter your details below. If you are a new customer, please' . '<a href="#login" class="register-text">Register</a>' . ' to proceed.', 'woocommerce' ),

I just need the word “Register” to become a link with a specific class for the color and hover (which is created in the CSS). How can I do this please?

    Thanks to Nathan Arnold. It took me a few tries, but I finally got it right. The final code looks as such:

    'message'  => __( 'If you have shopped with us before, please enter your details below. If you are a new customer, please' . '<a href="#login" class="register-text"> Register</a>' . ' to proceed.', 'woocommerce' ),

    I don't understand why the '__' needed to be there, but if I remove it then nothing worked, so I left it in.

    esc_html escapes your HTML code, so
    <a href="#login" class="register-text">Register</a> becomes &lt;a href=&quot;#login&quot; class=&quot;register-text&quot;&gt;Register&lt;/a&gt;.

    You’ll need to remove the esc_html() function.

    (Be careful with this though, as serving unescaped HTML could be dangerous if using dynamic content Learn more…)
