  • This is a link to one of our product pages. It looks decent and it’s workable; it’s just a pain to update. If we run out of a product or were to add a new product, it means manual changes.

    I used the regular WooCommerce shortcode that allows you to add the price and Add to Cart button anywhere you want it, then I modified it a little through CSS. WooCommerce (or the guys who built our site; I don’t know) designed the price and button to be side-by-side, and I wanted them stacked.
    [add_to_cart sku=””]
    (You can also use id=”” instead of sku=”” since you have to add a SKU number to a product, but WooCommerce automatically assigns every product with an ID number.)

    It works and it’s effective, but it’s a little more tedious to assemble and maintain. I just couldn’t come up with a better idea.

    I’m not sure if this plugin would fit your needs exactly, but it was a huge help at my work. We have some products that because of size and weight, we have to increase the shipping cost more than just a weight table allows for. It allows for the ability to modify shipping costs based on a specific product or a product category. I am not sure if it will force a pickup option or not (not relevant to us at my work). However, the plugin author is super helpful and very quick to respond.

    WooCommerce Advanced Shipping

    The free version of this you can find through your WordPress dashboard (which we’re also using at my work) only pertains to free shipping. Just so you know.

    Hope that helps. Best of luck to you.

    I have no experience with this either. I’d also suggest the virtual product unless they want to get involved in mailing out cards with some sort of specialized coupon code it.

    If the virtual product doesn’t work and mailing isn’t preferable or feasible, it might be worth contact someone for custom work when they’ve got a little money to invest. This doesn’t sound like a complicated thing to build, so maybe it can get built for cheap. Never hurts to ask.

    Best of luck. If you find of anything, I would be interested.

    I can’t say for sure on your site, but on the website where I work, the review stars are SVG files from online, not an uploaded image. (This means that they behave like a font, not a graphic.) This is becoming very common for stars on websites.

    Try viewing the code for one of your pages and find the stars. They should have some sort of CSS class tied to them. Once you find the proper class, just give them a color in your child theme style.css.

    With the multiple languages, we installed the Polylang plugin on the website where I work. We have a custom theme and have WooCommerce installed (however, we did not translate anything related to WooCommerce).

    Polylang provided us choices on how to display language options. It can be added as a dropdown to the main menu or a sidebar as a widget. It has the option of flag or text or both. With a little bit of hunting, I found the code that allowed me to add it to the top of the header. Easy.

    As far as multi-language sites go, Polylang has been great for us. Hopefully that helps.

    Best of luck.

    I didn’t build the website for the company where I work, so I can’t give you step-by-step instructions. However, each page on a website is built from a template. A template helps to style the page and pulls in custom content from the dashboard. With templates, you can have different styles of pages that may have different sidebars attached to them. You can build as many template pages as want. (The page’s template is selected when you are creating a new page or editing an existing one; there’s a section called “Page Attributes” on the right-hand side, with a section to select your template underneath.) I know that PHP code gets added into a template page to generate your WooCommerce Shop page. How it looks depends on what it’s told. Our website’s WooCommerce Shop page displays the product categories. You select one of them to view all of the products in the category.

    I know that sidebars are also part of page templates. A specific sidebar (if you different ones) gets assigned to a specific page template. From there, any changes to the WooCommerce section of the sidebar should be done through the Widget section of your WordPress dashboard.

    If none of this is working and you don’t know how to get it work and can’t hire someone, I’d consider deleting the WooCommerce plugin completely, then reinstall it. You can also try contacting the developers of Athena and make sure that it is compatible with WooCommerce.

    I hope that helps at least a little bit. Best of luck to you.

    Forum: Plugins
    In reply to: WooCommerce for a beginner

    I have no experience with what you’re trying to do, so I can’t be a huge help.

    However, that sounds like a very complicated system. You need a program (or web app, maybe) that employees can use to ring up items, and have that tie into the WooCommerce inventory system. My guess is that you won’t find something like that. (If I’m wrong, then that’s great!) My guess is that you’ll have to get a program on the computers used at the POS and find a plugin that ties that and WooCommerce together.

    Best of luck to you.

    I know that if you use the basic Twenty Sixteen (or Twenty Fifteen or, possibly, earlier) theme developed by WordPress, WooCommerce is designed to work just fine on them. As I understand it, though, WooCommerce is one of the more popular ecommerce plugins for WordPress. Most reputable themes, both free and paid, are compatible with it. If you’re in doubt, email the maker of the theme(s) that you are interested in and ask. That’ll give you the best answer. Most plugin developers I’ve contacted get back to me within 24 hours and are very helpful.

    Wish I could help with your question, but I can’t.

    However, as a customer who encountered something like this a few years ago, make sure to make it very, very clear to your customers that it is free. I purchased a laptop from Dell in 2014 and ended up with a $30 mouse in my shopping cart that I couldn’t remove. (I didn’t even want the mouse, so Dell should have provided the option to remove the item, but that’s another issue.) Just thought I’d mention that. It took me a few minutes to realize that the mouse was actually free and that I was indeed stuck with it.

    I would imagine you won’t have customers irritated you’re giving them an ebook, though.

    Good luck and I hope you can find a solution.

    Maybe WooCommerce is set up a little different on your site than the one where I work, but at my company’s website, WooCommerce forced me to add a price for each variation. This was a little annoying, as there is no parent price and we simply offer 8 color variations. This also means sale prices have to be adjusted on each individual variation price.

    I’ve often wished we had the option to set a parent price for the product, and then to set each variation to either match the parent price, or increase it by a $ or % amount.

    If you ever figure out how to do this, I’d love to know.

    This would be helpful at my work. I ended up custom-building a page and manually adding each item with WooCommerce shortcode. It was a pain, but it worked. Updating the page is a pain, too.

    One thing I am learning is that when you have a different vision in mind from the “norm” of how people use WordPress, it’s tricky to figure out.

    Are you actually hitting “Enter” after each line, where you want the line break? If you’re not, WordPress isn’t putting in the <br/> code to tell the browser to break that line of text.

    You can always switch over to the text editor and manually add the <br/> yourself.

    Hope that helps.

    I’m no coding expert, but it looks like something got messed up in your header.php file. If you have the proper information (usually the same login information from your hosting provider, not your WP login info), you can access that file through FTP, correct the error, then log in like normal. I’m not sure this is a Polylang problem.

    Good luck.

    We used Polylang on the website at my work. It’s worked great and the functionality is wonderful. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who needs their website available in multiple languages.
