AddingProducts Question & Issues – Plz Help

Hi Siberain,

1) For the WC Sync and Sort By price issues:

I noticed there’s several Console errors that appear on that page, some of which may be caused by a conflict between your Theme and the plugin’s infinite scroll feature.

So the first thing I’d suggest is to turn off UPCP’s Infinite Scroll (which can be done by going to Options->Premium-> then scroll down to “Infinite Scroll” and setting it to No.

If you’re still experiencing issues with the Sync/Sort by Price slider after doing this, please let us know.

2) For the Popup issue, it looks like your Theme’s header has several high z-indexes in its’ CSS file, which is making these elements appear on top of your popup.
Anyway, here’s some CSS code you can add to the bottom of your Theme’s main-style.css file:

.motopress-wrapper.content-holder.clearfix:before {
background: #e0e0e0;
height: 2px;
width: 100%;
box-shadow: 0 3px 7px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 3px 7px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.1);}

.motopress-wrapper.header .logo_box,
.motopress-wrapper.header .logo {
z-index: 1!important;}

Hi Etoile!

I made the changes to infinite scroll, but it appears to still not be working.

The Popup fix worked perfectly! Thank you!

How do I add products that automatically add themselves to the catalogue? right now I have to do it manually. I currently added 3 products but only 1 is listing since I havent added them to the catalogue BUT all the catagories are added in the catalogue. I have over 3,000 items to start listing and it would be extremely painful to have to do this manually.

I also plan on purchasing the premium, I just need to make sure all the issues are gone so I know I’m not throwing away money.

Also, I just noticed the “Product Search” doesnt work. I enter a name, press enter and nothing happens. Did I break something?

Hi siberain,

I believe we originally misunderstood what you were looking to do. There is no way to have a WooCommerce product automatically added to a specific catalogue. The WooCommerce Sync option makes it so that all products created in WooCommerce are also automatically created in our plugin (and vice versa). It doesn’t add them to a catalogue. That needs to be done manually.

For the price slider, it actually looks like the only thing working in your catalogue sidebar is the “Sort By” feature. The search (as you also mention in your second post) and the category filtering also don’t seem to be doing anything. Right now it’s coming up with an “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘0’ of null” error (in the console) when you try to use the search or category filtering. Usually this happens when the JavaScript runs before the products exist/are included in the dom. I don’t know if this is caused by a conflict with another plugin or the theme. Do you happen to be using any plugins that play with the location of JavaScript file inclusion or that minify or “optimize” page loading, etc.? You can try disabling all other plugins and/or switching to the default WordPress theme to see if it makes a difference.

As far as assigning products to a catalogue, as mentioned above, items from WooCommerce will not be added to a catalogue. However, if you’re importing products directly into our plugin via spreadsheet, then you can just add a column to your spreadsheet called “Catalogue ID” and, for each product, put, in this column, the ID of the catalogue you want to add it to.

Hi Etoile!

I have 0 web experience so my best bet would be to simply just disable those features.

Is it possible to hide Product search?

I wouldnt know how to fix the issue thats currently happening, I dont know anything pertaining to web code!

Also,

Is it possible to add a ” Select All ” tab next to View All, within the Product Catalogue Settings?

Also,

Within your “sort” feature, I have plugins that enable more options but arent seen on that toggle.

Anyway for that to change?

New Problem ( Sorry:( )

Since I’m using WooCommerce to add all my products, I now noticed it’s not syncing correctly as it is not adding the products in their respectful catagories, Is that working as intended? I thought the product/catagorie sync over to your plugin and then I just had to manually add them to the catalogue.

I now added them manually to the catagories and now I’m showing double listings for everything. I’m doing this wrong aren’t I?

Thanks again

Hi Siberain,

Is it possible to hide Product search?

To hide this section, you can add this CSS code to the “Custom CSS” of the edit Catalogue page:

#prod-cat-text-search {
display:none;}

Also, Is it possible to add a ” Select All ” tab next to View All, within the Product Catalogue Settings?

Sorry, where are you referring to (i.e. where are you seeing “View All”)?

Also, Within your “sort” feature, I have plugins that enable more options but arent seen on that toggle.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to do with those other plugins, but we don’t know of any other plugins that can modify our features. For the Sort By section, these are the only options (found in Options -> Premium -> “Product Sorting”)
– Price and Name
– Price Only
– Name Only
– None (selecting this last option will hide the “Sort By” section in your sidebar)

Since I’m using WooCommerce to add all my products, I now noticed it’s not syncing correctly as it is not adding the products in their respectful catagories, Is that working as intended? I thought the product/catagorie sync over to your plugin and then I just had to manually add them to the catalogue.

If you enable the “WooCommerce Sync” option, then it will import all your WooCommerce products into our product catalog plugin, including whichever categories they are assigned to. However, the categories need to exist first in the product catalog. It won’t create the categories automatically.
So, if you create all the appropriate categories first, then enable the WooCommerce Sync, it will transfer over all the products with their corresponding categories.

I now added them manually to the catagories and now I’m showing double listings for everything.

I took a look at https://www.comicsrus.ca/test/ , but was uncertain by what you meant.
Are you seeing duplicates on the products themselves (e.g. “iron man 2” is showing up multiple times on the page) or seeing duplicates of something else?

Hi Etoile!

First, Thanks for the outmost patience and great support! Your hide CSS coded worked perfectly.

When you go to Product Catalogue (Your Plugin) -> Catalogues -> Choose Available Catagoue -> Now You’ll see the Custom CSS code area aswell as the Products to add to the Catalogue.

I was wondering, if its at all possible to add a tab that would “select all” so say I wouldnt have to click 1,000 products manually to add to the Catalogue.

As for the duplicates, I found the issue and fixed it! I was added the products to both catagories woocommerce and your plugin.

On a side note, I find my sidebar bare. Are their any widgets that can coexist with this plugin as a sidebar feature?

New Question!

Is there any chance when you click a product and your viewing it without going to product details, that a shopping cart feature can be added so it can be purchased right away instead of clicking details and having to go to the product page?

Thanks again!
Quick update! I purchased the plugin now! I moved it to comicsrus.ca/store and it looks quite nice!

New Issue!

If you go to https://www.comicsrus.ca/store <i turned off the testing and aiming for live now>

It looks like its showing the previous woocommerce products again after your shortcode.

So basically after your plugin does its job, beneath it, it says ” Showing all 7 results ” and has a sort filter and everything.

how do i remove this?

Hi Siberain,

I was wondering, if its at all possible to add a tab that would “select all” so say I wouldnt have to click 1,000 products manually to add to the Catalogue.

Thanks for the clarification. Our plugin doesn’t currently have that feature, but we’ve noted it as a feature request and will discuss the viability of implementing it in a future update.

For now, here’s two options:

1. If you’re importing products, add a “Catalogue ID” column heading to your Excel sheet. For each product, write the ID number of the Catalogue where you would like the product to appear (e.g. 1)
2. Instead of adding products to the Catalogue, just add all the categories to the Catalogue instead (just make sure all your products are in categories)

On a side note, I find my sidebar bare. Are their any widgets that can coexist with this plugin as a sidebar feature?

UPCP comes with a few widgets:

• UPCP Product(s) List
• UPCP Random Products
• UPCP Recent Products
• UPCP Search Bar

They can be added to your sidebar via the Appearance->Widgets page.

——————————

Is there any chance when you click a product and your viewing it without going to product details, that a shopping cart feature can be added so it can be purchased right away instead of clicking details and having to go to the product page?

You can enable an “Add to Cart” button though the following steps:

1. Go to Styling->Catalogue->Catalogue Style and switch it to either “Default” or “Block”
2. Go to Options->WooCommerce and set it to “Yes”

——————————

In regards to the issue you mentioned in your last message, I tried going to the link you provided (https://www.comicsrus.ca/store), but it gave a 404 error. Is there a chance you moved the page elsewhere within the last four days?

Thanks for the replies!

Yes sorry! I did end up moving it since I couldnt find a solution for both WooCommerce and Your Plugin to co-exist.

Here is the new link:

https://www.comicsrus.ca/test/

You’ll notice both plugins listing all the products but if I disable the Woocommerce products display by setting them to “hidden” then my featured items on my main page will be bare.

Hi,

Did you happen to set that page as your shop page in the WooCommerce plugin settings?

Or else, did you put one of the WooCommerce shortcodes after our shortcode on that page?

Yes, I set the page as shop page only because when I’m in my shopping cart, the link sends it to the shop page. I try’d multiple ways to try and figure it out but I think it might be built into the theme design.

This is why I was forced to turn on the shop page so when your inside the cart, it will redirect to the proper page.

Would you know of a solution?

If you’d like to test it, add an item to the cart, then go to the cart, delete the item and then click go shop and it’ll bring it to the test page even though I have a tab called Shop.

If you put the product-catalogue shortcode on the page that you have specified as your WooCommerce shop page, then it will also show the WooCommerce products. There’s no way around this because of the way WooCommerce is set up.

If you enable both “WooCommerce Sync” and “WooCommerce Checkout” (in the “WooCommerce” area of the “Options” tab) then it will make it so that someone can add a product directly from the product catalog into their WooCommerce shopping cart.
