WooCommerce Products Widget displaying image of wrong product

My apologies for the duplicate post. I’m clearly a newb on these forums. I thought I’d found a subforum dedicated to WooCommerce and so closed out my other post and reposted in the correct place, but apparently it’s just a categorization thing. I did read the rules, and I really am not just trying to “bump” this. Just trying to play nice.

Hey @mgatten,

I just checked out the link to test what you were saying, it looks like there’s only one product in the list now, correct?

As for the image not showing, it looks like that’s the theme doing it:

This is hiding your product image:
File: 1449817007index.css
Line: 4335

aside#sidebar ul.product_list_widget li a img {
    display: none;
}

This is creating your static image:
File: 1449817007index.css
Line: 4326

aside#sidebar ul.product_list_widget li a {
    background: URL(/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/mware-giftset.png) no-repeat top center;
    font-family: Georgia, Palatino, serif;
    font-weight: 400;
    color: #363636 !important;
    font-size: 16px;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    display: block;
    width: 100%;
    height: 205px;
}

Thank you! You’re a rockstar. In addition to the obviously useful part of your answer, it also made me realize some troubleshooting techniques that should have been obvious to me that I was totally overlooking. You helped solve this problem and surely lots of future ones with that.

One outstanding problem with the same widget, though, is that while it now displays perfectly on all product pages and some other pages, the title doesn’t display on the home page or a few other pages like the store locator page. (I’m guessing that it’s displaying within pages generated by WooCommerce but not on pages that are not part of WooCommerce.)

On the pages where it displays, its class is “widget-title”. I was hoping to find someplace in the css showing a “display: none” for that class, but it doesn’t appear to exist anywhere like that.

Any ideas?

No problem.

I just took a look and it seems like you’ve removed the title altogether, most likely from the widget in the admin area.

This is a screenshot of my inspector window open to the same element on the Store Locator page and the Home page. Take note of the css file being used for the top rules:

It seems like the theme is generating css from settings somewhere, or you may have a plugin running that may minify and/or concatenate the css files together. Hopefully that helps you track down where things are coming from.

If you look at any product page, though, the title appears. So it’s not removed altogether – it’s just not generating on non-Woo pages. I’ve looked in the admin area for any display options for the title, and none are apparent.

We’re using “WP Fastest Cache” which minimizes css and js and creates caches of just about everything. So the files shown in the inspector aren’t the actual sources of the css. What I’ve been doing is deleting the cache and then immediately grepping for class names before anybody has a chance to load a page and regenerate the caches.

I missed the heading on the product pages, sorry about that.

You’re right that the widget doesn’t have the option to hide the title, so I am not sure why it possibly would be happening. On the off chance, are there perhaps two sidebars that display for WooCommerce pages vs non-WooCommerce pages, and one doesn’t have a title?

Got it fixed!

Looking in the Widget Admin area, I noticed it was listed in both the WooCommerce Sidebar and the Main Sidebar. But no changes I made to the one in Main Sidebar seemed to have any effect. So I figured it must be conflicting. So I deleted it from the Main Sidebar area. That when something surprising happened: It popped back up in the Main Sidebar area of the Widget Admin page after being deleted, but this time with a blank Title field. I filled in the Title field and voila!

It had apparently somehow gotten put on twice but was only showing once on the page. To make it more confusing, the Admin area also only showed one – but it showed the OTHER one!

Sheesh. I’m goin’ to bed. ??

Thank you SO MUCH for your help. I owe you a cookie and a beer.
