I use the free WP-SYNC-DB plugin, which can do a find and replace so you can change your old URL into the new one. It can do big databases and the images too with an optional media-library extension. It can push (from local to remote) or pull (from remote) and it saves your settings so it becomes an easy process.

I am indeed using a child theme.
We still have the import for the Contact Form 7 styles:

It was not in my install, don’t know why. I added it myself in the sass/theme folder of my child-theme. The thing that confused me, I think, is that you have to fill in the required fields to get rid of the “disabled” style. The disabled style seems to draw the button as an outline, instead of the normal Bootstrap disabled style.

Another option is to use the class: feature in the Contact Form 7 setup:

Ah, I never used that. Yes that works. Although my button still shows as an outline. But I’ll figure that out.

Thanks

oops, wron thread, sorry

Hi Pablo,

I will change that by putting the “Hide” feature on the free version.

Ok, nice. So at least the plugin is now usable for the average user to do what they expect of it : Hide the default message and replace this with a pop-up.

Must say that I still think it is not a very useful plugin for me. I would like to at least have a field where I could change the styling or replace that with my own custom CSS. Changing the markup would be nice too.

Anyway, that is entirely up to you.
Best,
Bob

removing the WC styling can be done like so:

/* Remove Woocommerce stylesheet(s) */
add_filter( 'woocommerce_enqueue_styles', 'my_dequeue_styles' );
function my_dequeue_styles( $enqueue_styles ) {
unset( $enqueue_styles['woocommerce-layout'] ); // Remove the layout
return $enqueue_styles;
}

Ok fixed it. It was the woocommerce-layout stylesheet from the WC plugin that caused the trouble. Dequeued it and appended the content of that file in the woocommerce stylesheet that is already in the theme. Then deleted the lines that I do not need. Works like it should.

Took me a while though…

I suck at GIT so I am not the right person to answer your question but since nobody else responded I will give it a try.

Not sure what you want to use git for, since you talk about the WP repository. Do you want to make contributions to the wp core? No idea how that works, maybe others can chime in.

I use git to version-control the work I do when I work on themes. In that case, my repo is just the (child) theme, not the whole WP install. I do not use the cli but a visual app, which gives you a good overview and control over the changes that have been made. You get an overview of your commit messages, can look at files and see what was changed. You see your file status, uncommited changes, history. There is a search function. If you work with branches this is much easier to see what is going on. All commands that git uses are available. You can also open the terminal from within the app which will put you right in the correct directory.

It is easy to connect SourceTree to bitbucket or Github and create remote repo’s and push, pull and fetch from there.

cli may or may not be the cool kids choice, but this is so much more convenient. I use SourceTree, which is free. Git Tower is almost exactly the same, but paid. I highly recommend using a GUI to git.

How would you create the repository?
Does not really matter, I do not clone but make an empty repo and put my stuff in it. Or from SourceTree, I add it as a Sourctree project (a repo) with “add existing local repository” which points to the theme folder in my local dev site.

Hope this helps a bit. Some concepts in git can get very complicated but the basic usage is not complicated. Also, I work alone so I mainly work on the main branch, no need for pull requests or whatever. Must say that I could not imagine working without it. Git has saved my a$$ and hours of work on multiple occasions. If you work with code, version control is a necessity.

Ok perfect.
I’ll leave it like that then.

Thanks!

Ok Howard, thanks. I am not sure what that means exactly for my project. If understrap moves to BS 5, and my site has a lot of customisations (layouts/templates), will that make for an easy transition?

Or, if I leave the site at BS 4 (why not if it works as I want to) will that give problems with compiling in the future when I want to make changes?

Thanks

That took a while but I just heard that the Mollie emails still use the non-sequential order number. So you get a confirmation mail from the shop, and one from the payment provider, and the numbers don’t match.

Are you still looking into this? I will send the question to Mollie too.

Thanks

OK thanks,

Haven’t heard from my client but they are on holiday so that was to be expected.
I’ll ask them if they want to contact Mollie support when they are back, maybe that will speed things up.

Cheers

Bob

Hi Webtoffee,

OK, I installed that update version 1.3.8
I cannot really test it myself, have no access to the payment mails.

But I let the client know and ask them to let me know if it works or not.
I am out for a few days but will let you know asap.

Thanks

Bob

Hi David,

Sorry for the late response, I did not know there was a reply to my question.
I had given up on this some time ago.

I solved it by purchasing the Aelia Currency Switcher plugin and that seems to work fine. Not sure what the issue was but it works now.

Cheers

Bob

Most likely you can do this with Booster but I am new to this plugin so I would not know.

Easiest way for me seems to paste this snippet in your functions.php file:

<?php

add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_remove_woo_checkout_fields' );

 function custom_remove_woo_checkout_fields( $fields ) {

    // remove shipping fields 

    unset($fields['shipping']['shipping_first_name']);    

    unset($fields['shipping']['shipping_last_name']);  

    unset($fields['shipping']['shipping_company']);

    unset($fields['shipping']['shipping_address_1']);

    unset($fields['shipping']['shipping_address_2']);

    unset($fields['shipping']['shipping_city']);

    unset($fields['shipping']['shipping_postcode']);

    unset($fields['shipping']['shipping_country']);

    unset($fields['shipping']['shipping_state']);

   

    return $fields;

}
?>

Yep, thanks for that!
