I’d prefer you just apologise for hijacking the review. I contend it was to get traffic to your site. You now claim it was to get feedback on your site.

Either way? You still hijacked it.

You admit to have almost no experience with WOOcommerce, even less with Magento so you had no place commenting on the review at all – you lacked the necessary knowledge to add anything of use.

Not sour
telling it how it is.

I take the time to point out, Woocommerce has become too expensive to use, and for the large sites where the expense might make the cost justified, it just doesnt work.

Ricesrey took the chance to completely off topic claim that’s not his experience, with his tiny shop, that needs none of the high end extra expensive plugins, and becuase of its tiny size has no scalability issues.

I contend he did it, to advertise his shop.

Sweet as pie, thats my contention

Nice work advertising your site Ric. My clients need all the plugins you have plus

a. Eparcel plugin.(FINALLY one hits the market, just this week. Magento had had one for years)
b. Fancy Coupon Plugin.
c. Multi image per variation plugin.
d. pip plugin.
e. Rewards plugin.
f. wholesale plugin.
g. WOocommerce instagram
h. Grouped products plugin

etc etc etc

What… you contacted Magento for a quote? You could have just downlaoded it and installed it. What… you wanted them to provide you with free consulting as to your needs? And they said no? Really?

I am curious on the “my mind is closed” position. I prefer to to think of it as “My mind is now with Magento after doing an exhaustive cost and feature analysis, speed testing and seeing if at the end of the day WOOcommerce could work for large ecommerce solutions.”

It doesn’t. I cant

Ok.. you sell some tshirts. You have a really basic shop, under 60 products, with few variations, simple freight and a tiny inventory which I assume is not connected to your offline stock levels. Its slow as heck – it bombed whilst i was trying to use it. Ultra budget hosting with Godaddy right?

Super Duper.

My clients have got more difficult to meet needs, larger product lines and more complex business models. Most need to manage inventory with their offline stores. Can your woocommerce do that? Magento can. Easily. Multiple plug and play connectors to point of sale software. WOocommerce? Has none? Why not? Because the WordPress database just doesn’t work well with POS systems so no-one is prepared to program one. Too expensive, and too hard.

You have gone on the defensive for Woocommerce, without even knowing what Magento can and cant do. You’ve never even tried it. You are running a tiny store with tiny needs. My whole point was… that’s all Woocommerce can do, and its expensive to use to do it.

Using wordpress as a blog?

Someone goes to the trouble of telling it how it is and you come back with an unresearched, irrelevant I’m a big woocommerce fanboy advertisment response about your tiny, low featured godaddy hosted tshirt site?

I call bullshit. You just wanted to advertise your shop. You have no idea about the issues I was referring to(cost and scalability differences between magento and woocommerce) and as your eCommerce needs are so tiny… and my whole point was mine are not and Woocommerce doesn’t meet them… you response was just pointless.

My 2 stars could as easily have been simply because out of the box, its not good enough, and to get it to do the things many other shopping cart systems do natively, i need to pay about $1000 YEARLY to woothemes for their plugins. Many, which simply dont work. Or use non woothemes plugins like search by SKU which just screw the whole search up.

You making an appeal to popularity as why I should not call it how it is?

Its got poor integration with point of sale and accounting software, poor integration with eparcel(australia) etc all things that are just done and dusted in Magento. Magento would provide you with visual availability of your attributes, size and colour. And it would be faster and connect to external API’s better as its database structure just makes sense. It has a products table! Not a modified, bastardised posts table.

If you have a large webstore, the backend needs to be fast and you need rock solid inventory syncing with your offline sales. You don’t get this with woocommerce.

Woocommerce, is just a pretend, shitty, very expensive system these days. Its like free phone game, that sucks you in, then makes you buy all these in-game ad dons or you cant get through it.

have removed plugin, totally missing some redirections, sending other pages to endless loops.

Crashed my server.

Great idea
poor execution

My analogy remains accurate.

People don’t come to the repository, install plugins, set them up only to reach the end and get a message that effectively says suck it up, you’ve spent all this time… now guess what… unless you sign up for a paid service all that time is burnt.

guidelines smidelines.

I left the review so others wouldn’t waste their time like i did.

if you mean directly above? yes. you are right.
If you meant above me? Untrue.

Fine…. though I think anyone here would be happy with some rudeness over protocol if it meant getting an actual answer to a problem posted time after time for years with no solid answer provided.

Protocol following keeps being demanded.
Answers keep not being provided.

Let me do it now.

The answer to this problem 9 times out of 10, is memory allocated to PHP

It might be being caused by your theme using too much.
It might be being caused a plugin or plugins using too much
Maybe your images are too large.
A wordpress update could have caused your site to reach a tipping point.

Solutions like changing hosts or themes often work… as the new host allows more memory to be used, or the theme swapped in uses less.

But its almost always memory.

Check your php.ini and get it as high as possible, then trouble shoot what is sucking the memory available to php

Original poster states problem occurs with all plugins disabled.
Esmi.
It happens for me:-

a. all plugins disabled.
b. any image size.

Noting regarding your answer? you are not answering the problem raised by the original poster, you are agreeing with someone who fixed their problem.

irrelevant right? The original poster(as well as I) can load NO images of any size. Small or large.

And no need to delete me just because i am critical of how this particular problem is being handled(its not really being handled). Thats just silly.

This seems to be a common error, with many threads on the topic.
Mods only input seems to be “start your own thread” so there are many threads now start, none of them solved on this issue, which has been going on for years.

Sure, sometimes its an errant plugin, but no one has ever come up with the solution “its becuase this plugin is doing this” which is problably the solution for all instances of this error.

Myself? I have the same issue, with a theme and set of plugins which are working on another domain, identical setup, on the same server.

i am not going to start my own thread, because i can see its not a different problem its the SAME problem and in any case, no one has made a genuine attempt to solve it. I would start another thread, only to see nothing happen.

still coming? let me know when done – happy to chip in for some coffee money

Any updates on this?
When this plugin works. its great.

Vut for reasons i cant work out, sometimes it adds the subdomain to the URL… sometimes it USES the subdomain as the URL.

eg
cdn1.domainmame.com vs
cdn1.com

the latter, of course always fails.

Presently, I would have to classify this plugin as broken

which would at the same time, fix my problem, in that your plugin is writing subdomains as follows.

cdn1.com

instead of

cdn1.domainname.com

so its doesnt work at all

Having the same problem

I also have this problem….

Anyone care to list their plugins so perhaps we can narrow down which one might be causing it?
