Thanks for the reply Matt.

So, what I was looking for was to be able to go in to listings once they are created, to tweak the Title, Desctiption, etc. as needed to really optimize them for eBay, to add calls to action etc. that are appropriate for eBay but which may not be in the product descriptions as they appear on my Woocommerce site.

When you say

all the available listing options have been implemented on the WooCommerce product details page

does this mean I can change the details that I want to and have them update my ebay listings, but not neccessarily my product page on the site, or am I misunderstanding what you mean?

Woohoo…And we have success…!!!

Thanks to bheadrick’s helpful post and input from the plugin’s author Robert Reid at Strictly-Software.com (May I link here?) I got this working in about 5 minutes. To help out anyone else interested in tagging Woocommerce, here is what I did:

1) The plugin will identify products because it has been coded to find everything that is not a “a page, attachment or revision …” thus product_posts are good (no action, just FYI.)
2) Now, rename the file called strictlyautotags.class.php to strictlyautotags.class.php.txt and open it in your favorite text editor, do a Ctrl-H Find/Replace on all instances of $posttags and change them to $producttags,
3) AND do a Find/Replace for all instances of post_tags and change those to product_tags…

Re-save the file with the proper PHP extension, upload it to your /wp-content/plugins/strictly-autotags folder, then do a bulk edit on a handful of products to change them from draft to published, and observe the lovely tags!

Thanks again bheadrick and Robert!

Thanks very much for simplifying this for me…!

I am not sure where I need to change this…Except actually, I think the plugin consists of essentially one PHP file so guessing that’s where ??

I will be giving this a try, and sending your reply to the plugin Author who has very graciously and promptly replied to my inquiries asking for this type of info, so I am crossing fingers that this is solved…

THANK YOU!

(Mods, I will mark this as “resolved” after I implement the change and any follow-up questions that could ensue…)

FIXED! WooHoo!

Thanks very much to this awesomely helpful thread:
https://konstruktors.com/blog/wordpress/984-wordpress-28-bleeding-edge-and-wordpress_module_weak_escape/

I simply renamed “plugins” to “plugins.old” and recreated an empty “plugins” directory.

From what I read on that thread, the “redirection” plugin was identified as the offending culprit that breaks WP sites upgraded to 2.8.x

Now I am going to try deactivating redirection and then moving all the rest over, or if there are still problems, just moving them 1 by 1 if need be.

Hope this helps someone in the future.

Thanks very much for that explanation apljdi, that really does help me understand it better!

Best,
Doug

Well, I can’t speak for Don, but I for one was just looking for the answer to this, and this thread was perfect. Kichu, Transpersonal, Mercime, thanks, you hit the issue spot on for me.

I wanted to simply take the comments off all pages (indefinitely) while keeping them available on blog posts.

In particular, thinking I was all saavy and smart, before finding this, I went into page.php and used the <!– to comment out the entire php tag – but it broke the pages.

I know that these different methods of commenting are used in slightly different ways, one for removing the instance of html (if I remember right) the other simply killing the php function. I don’t fully comprehend the differences in application of those, but anyway, I am a step closer to that, and my site is now working as intended.

Thank You!

Ah, okay, that makes sense….Thanks Peter! You’ve been a big help.

Well, first of all, you were right again – you Rock pboosten! I reduced the footer-background by 100px, and now all looks fine…But

I am just a little confused though: Before changing widths, the template had an overall width of 800, then all of the other classes had 790.
So, per your astute advice, I changed all of the relevant widths to 610, and that worked – except that my footer background was still poking out?

In other words, I was consistent (I think..) in reducing the widths, yet this one class didn’t behave consistently?

Many thanks – I revised those widths, and now the text is wrapping correctly. Very appreciated.

For some reason, at the bottom right hand corner, there is a white block of some kind protruding past the main body area. I tried reducing the widths of the header/footer as well, but it didn’t solve that issue.

Have any ideas on what is causing this?
