@braven1612 It sounds to me like you’re trying to find a way to change your single site into a multisite network. Is that correct?

Hey @sweetmore,

I think the easier way to do that in WordPress would be to make a custom post type for animals, and set up a taxonomy for “small”, “nocturnal” etc.

This way each animal will have it’s own page, and you can leverage WordPress to create the taxonomy archives. Also there are lots of plugins that would set up the custom filtering, for example FacetWP.

Have a look at Pods.io for creating custom post types.

WordPress is itself database driven, so it makes more sense to use what’s already built in than to find a way to connect WordPress with your other DB.

Does that make sense?

Hiya, either you’ve already fixed it or I’m not seeing the text you want centred – it’s all centred from what I can see.

Awesome video on that page!!!

Hey @omadume,

If you post a link to your site we’ll be able to help you out.

Hmmm, I had a quick look through the SagePay docs and it doesn’t look like there’s a simple way to do this.

I found this online which might for the bill for you – bypassing WooCommerce altogether.

Hope that helps!

Ha ha, @t-p beat me to the Google Foo

Hey @gustxw,

Great questions! I think it’s definitely a good idea to be doing development of your site NOT on the live version. That way if something goes wrong you can try again without your site going down.

Here’s my workflow:

• Local by Flywheel to easily spin up sites locally on my Mac.
• PHP Storm to edit local files.
• Tower to push the files to Github/Bitbucket/Beanstalk/Gitlab etc
• Deploy from Git to Live (you could add in a staging environment here)
• Drink coffee smug in the knowledge nothing broke in public

There are some great tutorials around if you do some searching…

Good luck ??

Hey @garnett13,

Is this for MuttsMaison?

A simple way would be to get rid of WooCommerce and use a PayPal button.

If you’re sticking with WooCommerce, and you’re looking for ways for them to pay you for boarding, then you could set up products in WooCommerce for Boarding and DayCare, set the prices and check ‘virtual product’ so you don’t have to worry about shipping.

You then display the products in your site and visitors can click on the product to pay.

WooCommerce would handle all the name and amount stuff, and there’ll be a WooCommerce addon to collect extra info (such as their customer ref).

Thinking ahead is it worth building this into some sort of booking or reservation system?

Does that help?

You’re welcome!

Hi again @raki2017,

Could you post the link to your site please?

Hi @raki2017,

Welcome to WordPress! You’re running quite an old version of WordPress – we’re currently on 4.8. It’s probably worth making a back up first before updating.

I have no idea what theme is being used or even how to tell what theme is being used.

To find out which theme is being used go to Admin > Appearance > Themes and it’ll show which themes are installed and which one is currently active.

The location of our video has moved and I need to update this information.

Where is the video displayed on your site? On the homepage? It’s likely that there’s a setting for you to update that without having to get your hands dirty with code.

Hey @iantresman,

When you say modules I think in WordPress we talk about plugins. To achieve what you’re talking about I would look at Pods to make the custom posts. If you’re set on having everything in one plugin, then Pods is what you want. However, something like Tailor or Conductor will be a great add on to organise the display of the information.

Hey @tylerr15,

Can you give a link to your site? It sounds like a pretty easy change to make if we can see the site in order to use something like Chrome dev tools to look at your site and the theme you’re using.

Hiya, thanks for the changes. I’ll test and let you know, but it might not be for a week or two…
