Can I make the input field required or more obvious?

Hi @snapdragon777,

Thanks for reporting this. I have written a notr to our developers so that they can check and fix this as soon as possible.

This might take some time since we’re having wuitr hesvy workload currently.

Best regards.

I had the same problem but since I have a suggested price, I thought the suggested price should at least become the default for the name-your-price input.

Solved it by editing wp-content/plugins/wpc-name-your-price/includes/wpc-woonp-core.php

changing line 114
from
}
to

else {
$value = $product->get_regular_price();
}

@rafaelup That is also a good thought. I don’t like the idea of editing the plugin php, since surely I’ll have to remember to do it every time the plugin updates? But that could also be a good option for developers to include, especially if it can be enabled/disabled in settings.

Suggested price won’t be for everyone – some of us have NO idea what to price our product at, and making any suggestion could skew user judgement. But that would be a great optional feature.

@wpclever I see that the suggested change from @rafaelup has made it into the current version! That’s pretty responsive for people with a heavy workload, well done! ??

Could I just reiterate that it would be nice if this was optional, however? I don’t have a suggested price set, so this feature is using the “regular price” that WooCommerce requires in a product listing to give me a suggested price. But I haven’t chosen anywhere to have a suggested price for the Name Your Price area.

This is far from the worst issue, but, especially since the text is tiny in the input field, I still worry that people will miss the input area. Only now they will get to the cart and go “Why is it trying to charge me $10?? Where do I set my price?” instead of “Oh well, it’s forcing me to have it for free!”

I still think that making this field required, and more visually prominent, would be a good idea. If it is already filled in with a suggested price, you don’t want people to miss it in case they don’t agree with that price. If it isn’t (which it shouldn’t have to be, I don’t think, for truly user-guided pricing), then you also don’t want people to miss it, as per my original post.

I don’t know how hard this would be to implement, but there’s my thoughts on the matter.

Thanks for listening to commenters like us, though!

@wpclever thanks for merging my proposal into the new version!
@snapdragon777 thanks for your thoughts!

I don’t have a suggested price set, so this feature is using the “regular price” that WooCommerce requires in a product listing to give me a suggested price.

@snapdragon777 but then isn’t the real “bug” here that the whole name-your-price field is not showing up when you don’t have a regular price set? To me it doesn’t seem required by woocommerce but by the plugin ?!
maybe @wpclever can clarify this. thanks!!

I just realized that this check for “not empty” is even super easy nowadays, just needed to edit wp-content/plugins/wpc-name-your-price/includes/wpc-woonp-core.php

adding required to line 154
size="4" required />

hope this can be included in the next version @wpclever , I think it should fit to all use cases ?!

@snapdragon777

You can add some custom css to your child theme to make the input field more prominent.

This will get you started:

.woonp label {
    font-weight: 700;
}
.woonp-input {
     display: block;
    font-size: 18px;
    font-weight: 700;
    color: #444;
    line-height: 1.3;
    padding: .6em 1em .6em .4em;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    margin: 0;
    border: 1px solid #aaa;
    background-color: #FFFF00;
}

Please @wpclever, can you add this to the next version? I don’t want to add it after every update, and I think it makes sense in all use cases, to not leave the name-your-prize field empty!
