Woo Commerce single product page shows side bar

    Hi,

    I’m building a Woo Commerce shop for a non profit organisation (waterski club). It’s just the shop, not the website. The website is hosted somewhere else and htere are links to the shop on it, so I don’t need a complicated template. That’s why I choose the twenty-twelve theme and with the help of Mike Simmons, I created a child theme for it to hide the side bar and do some other tweaks. It’s actually working very well, but I don’t understand something.

    On the products, shop, cart and my account pages I can choose the template for a page in full width, which is what I want, but when click on a single product, the full width template is not used and instead I get a right sidebar with the search function and the categories (both of which I don’t need). I don’t know how Woo Commmerce builds the single products pages. I thought there would be a “single products” page just like there is for the shop, cart checkout and my account pages, but I can’t find it. It seems that for the singel products the standard theme is used, but how do I change that to full width? Apart from the solution to the sidebarproblem, I would appreciate an explaination of how Woo Commerce builds the singel products page. the url of the shopsite is:

    I found a way to remove the right sidebar in my standard child theme. I put this code in the functions.php file in my child theme:

    <?php
    /* remove parent sidebars */
    function aquatify_remove_fourteen_sidebars() {
    unregister_sidebar( ‘sidebar-1’ ); // primary on left
    unregister_sidebar( ‘sidebar-2’ ); // secondary on right
    }
    add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘aquatify_remove_fourteen_sidebars’, 11 );
    ?>

    I found that somewhere on the net. But I still would like an explaination of how Woo Commerce builds the single product page.

    Thank’s in advance

    Hi, I’m back. As I mentioned I managed to remove the side bar on the single product page, but part of my aim with that was to find more width for the product content. However, although the page is now full width, the product content remains the same width. I’ve searched for a day now and I still couldn’t find a solution to that.
    It must be very easy to code in that the single product page must use the full width page, but I don’t know how.

    Please help.

    Is it correct that Woo commerce builds the single product page like a post instead of a page? That would explain why there is no single-product page, like there are shop, cart and checkout pages.

    Any way, I copied the WC template directory to my child theme, so I think that overrides not only the WC plugin templates, but also the templates of my child theme. is that correct?

    I found this code in the single-product.php file:

    * @hooked woocommerce_output_content_wrapper – 10 (outputs opening divs for the content)
    * @hooked woocommerce_breadcrumb – 20
    */
    do_action( ‘woocommerce_before_main_content’ );
    ?>

    <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

    <?php wc_get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘single-product’ ); ?>

    <?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
    ————————————————————
    Do I understand it correctly that this code calls for a div content single product? Where can I find this wc_get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘single-product’)?
    I’m trying to learn myself some php, but for now I am rather in the dark.

    Thank’s in advance for your help.

    I gave up and changed the theme to simple-shop in which the single-product page is one column and you have some options to change the layout of pages. Unfortunately there is not much to find about this theme on the wordpress forums.

    I’m marking the thread as resolved.

    ALthough my questions about how Woo Commerce works are still relevant to me I’m closing the thread since I’m no longer using Twenty Fourteen
