Adding products

  • I have Storefront and woocommerce which I have installed today.
    My website has its products on separate pages which I did originally with a Paypal plugin.
    Do I now have to add all these products again (in woocommerce – add product) and then delete the pages I did originally?
    Just wondered if there is a quicker way?
    Thanks,
    Lisa

  • Hi Lisa,

    I’m afraid so. WooCommerce uses a custom post type rather than pages to store product data and there’s no way to map your current product data to WooCommerce.

    I hope you don’t have too many products to move over!

    Thanks for the help, it may take a while but not too many products. Just one more thing, is there a way on the product pages to not have the sidebar, just the full width product page?
    Thanks.

    Hi Lisa,

    Yup, it will involve some customisation though. You’ll need to hook a new function into init that queries the current page, then unhooks the Storefront sidebar function using remove_action(). This change should be done in a child theme or custom plugin.

    If you’re not comfortable touching the code, our Storefront WooCommerce Customiser extension allows you to do this and more.

    Thanks for that.
    I a complete novice, don’t do code or child themes. I will look at the WooCommerce Customiser as you suggest. With this am I able
    to add a side bar to the homepage? Or can I do this another way?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Lisa,

    I’m afraid that adding a sidebar to the homepage template is not a feature of that extension and would require some custom coding.

    Sorry about that.
