Correct. So since I’m unable to create a new sort option from scratch for sorting by tag or some other field, this was the best workaround I could come up with. I guess nobody but me will really care if they see ?orberby=date when sorting by Year/Set. It just bugs me. Plus I have to delete and then re-import all of my inventory every time I add new inventory to keep it sorted correctly.

I renamed “sort by date” to “sort by year/set” in the drop down menu. Unfortunately, I have to import all my listings in the correct sort order every time for that to work, which is kind of a pain. What I truly wanted to do was to be able to create new sort options for this, rather than by date, to sort by tag or whatever I wanted. I tried that route first with no luck.

    $options['price-desc'] = __( 'Sort by Price: High to Low', 'woocommerce' );   
   return $options;
}

I still haven’t found a solution to this, unfortunately.

Editing the file did the trick! Thank you very much!

Hi, thank you for the reply. I will try to manually increase the allocated memory as shown in the doc, and if that doesn’t work, hopefully I can contact my hosting provider (namecheap) to have them increase it for me. I will update this post when I find out. Thanks again!

Thanks, I registered and asked the question on slack, but didn’t receive a response there either.

I wouldn’t expect there to be too much coding involved. Probably a short code I can add to functions.php like I did to rename the sorting options in the drop down. I just don’t know what it would be though.

I just want to be know if the slow/inconsistent speed is because of my hosting provider or if it’s something on my site. If it’s my hosting provider, I can upgrade like you said, but if it’s something on the site, I need to try and fix it.

Any thoughts?

I see, thank you for clearing that up for me.

Still haven’t found a way to fix this issue. Can somebody PLEASE at least point me in the right direction? I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. Site is not w3c compliant.

Never received a reply, if anybody knows how to fix this I’d appreciate it. My site won’t be W3C compliant until then.

I actually resolved this issue already by using Search Manager Lite plugin. It was easy to setup to choose additional search factors such as tags and categories. Works perfectly for me.

I’ve never reindexed my tables, so once I Googled that, it lead me to a very helpful article that includes a how to for this as well as some other useful tips. Good idea, thanks for the info!

That’s what I was doing but it still isn’t working. The first part of the code by itself should completely remove the dropdown, correct? But it doesn’t. I’ve poured over my php files and everything looks correct with the code. I’ve tried other hooks and priority numbers and triple-checked my functions.php file for errors. Not sure what else I can do… Thanks again for your time and help. I appreciate it.

Hi, why did you reply to my post with an exact copy of my post and nothing else?

I tried every combination I could think of based on the information you gave me and what (little) I know about using hooks. Dropdown still won’t budge. These will be my last questions for you on this, I promise.

What do I put for the priority numbers for the remove_actions?
What do I use for NEW_LOCATION_HERE?
What do I put for the priority number on the add_action?

add_action('woocommerce_before_shop_loop', 'remove_page_dropdown');
function remove_page_dropdown() {
    if ( function_exists( 'Woocommerce_Products_Per_Page()' ) ) {
	remove_action('woocommerce_before_shop_loop', array( Woocommerce_Products_Per_Page()->front_end, 'products_per_page_dropdown'), 25);
	remove_action('woocommerce_after_shop_loop', array( Woocommerce_Products_Per_Page()->front_end, 'products_per_page_dropdown'), 25);
    }
}

if ( function_exists( 'Woocommerce_Products_Per_Page()' ) ) {
    add_action( 'NEW_LOCATION_HERE', array( Woocommerce_Products_Per_Page()->front_end, 'products_per_page_dropdown' ), 25 );
}
