What makes a Product display as a BLOG?

    We have an old WP theme.
    I’ve just installed wooCommerce and created (test) products, and a shop page with ‘all products. But when I view a product – it displays as like a Blog i.e with “Posted on (date) ! by (username) near the top of the form.

    On the forum are lots of other people hitting the same problem – and the answer seems to be — it’s the theme that’s at fault, Find a new one.

    But how do I find one???
    Wp’s Twenty twenty-two has the same issue.
    There are only three WooCommerce free themes – these (to us) lack functionality.
    There are lots!! of chargeable themes …. but do we have to search through them one at a time?

    May I ask – what makes a product display as a ‘Blog’?
    and what makes it display as a ‘Page’?
    We are developer – Is it an easy mod?

  • Hi @gretche

    Thanks for reaching out!

    I’ve just installed wooCommerce and created (test) products, and a shop page with ‘all products. But when I view a product – it displays as like a Blog i.e with “Posted on (date) ! by (username) near the top of the form.

    On my personal site running on the default Storefront theme, this is not the behavior when I am viewing a single product.

    I’d like to understand your site properly, can you please share your System Status Report, that will help us further troubleshoot.

    You can find it via WooCommerce > Status. Select Get system report and then Copy for support. Once you’ve done that, you can paste it into your reply here.

    Thanks!

    Thanks @xue28,
    I agree, when using a WooCommerce theme like StoreFront the Product displays OK (as your example)
    But StoreFront and the other three free themes lack other functions our customer wants/needs.
    When used with our old (pre-wooCommerce) theme (which the customer likes) it displays similarly, except that above the product image is a full-column width blue bar with the text:
    “Posted on xx/xx/xxxx | by xxxxxxxx”
    {i.e. the text that Blog has}

    So, our Qs were:
    There are only three WooCommerce free themes – these (to us) lack functionality.
    There are lots!! of chargeable themes …. but do we have to search through them one at a time?

    May I ask – what makes a product display as a ‘Blog’?
    and what makes it display as a ‘Page’?
    (albeit not wooCommerce ones ?? We are developers – Is it an easy mod?`

    Hello,

    May I ask – what makes a product display as a ‘Blog’?

    This is a question for your theme support, they can provide you with more information.

    We have an old WP theme.
    I’ve just installed wooCommerce and created (test) products, and a shop page with ‘all products. But when I view a product – it displays as like a Blog i.e with “Posted on (date) ! by (username) near the top of the form.

    Can you share a link to one of the products that is showing the Posted on date, so that we can take a better look?

    Thanks.
