    We have resisted updating WooCommerce because it makes changes that seriously alter the layout that we have worked had to implement. Cannot tell you how frustrating it is when “Updates” come along and it changes our layout. Your most recent version – every single time you put it so price displays when we specifically have it turned off. We are a Catalog type site so we do not want pricing showing.

    Your Product Categories widget now has a different layout and a search. We do not want a search in our Product Category Widget – We all ready have a search widget we prefer using. Also if someone clicks the “x” of an item in the Product Category Widget it takes them automatically to the “shop” page which we DO NOT want them to go to. So now we have to deal with what “YOU” think we want for the Product Category Widget or completely eliminate that widget from the sidebar which is what we am going to have to do. We LIKE the older version of the Product Category widget – simple – drop down menu – select an item and it takes you right to what you want.

    After further exploration you have change all the widgets to include this “Search” feature and if “x” is clicked it takes them to the shop page. What a mess you have created……..We DO NOT want a “Search” feature in any of the widgets we use on the side and we DO NOT want the ability to click an “x” within the widget. Please put it back to what it was before.

    Also another series issue – when we go to edit the product – if we made changes we had the opportunity under where it says “Publish” to “Preview Changes” before updating. That “Preview Changes” is gone. And this is in direct coalition of having updated to WooCommerce 3.5.1.

    Not a fan of your latest updates and luckily we have tried this on a staging site. We are resisting updating on our live site for as long as possible until the items that are important to us are fixed.

    Thank You,
    Ruth

    Hey Ruth @meruth101,

    First, thank you so much for posting your detailed thoughts about the latest update to WooCommerce.

    Your most recent version – every single time you put it so price displays when we specifically have it turned off. We are a Catalog type site so we do not want pricing showing.

    Do your products have a price set? If you don’t set a price on a product, it won’t show on the front-end. I have an example of this here – https://doug.press/product/catalog-product/

    Your Product Categories widget now has a different layout and a search. We do not want a search in our Product Category Widget

    Is this possible added by an extension or plugin? The core Products Categories widget doesn’t include a search box at all.

    if we made changes we had the opportunity under where it says “Publish” to “Preview Changes” before updating. That “Preview Changes” is gone.

    The developer team have listened to feedback and this is being brought back.

    I hope this helps, have a great day!

    Thanks,
