Thank you, that was really helpful!

I am having trouble getting more products on a single row. Right now the default (Superstore) is 5, but I would like to fill the whole width of the shop page. Is there a way to do that?

(and please don’t send me to WooCommerce documentation, I’ve already looked everywhere and it’s no help).

If you’ve done that, next steps to check would be (I am checking on my website, which is not online yet, but is working ok):

1. Go to the product
2. Check that product type is set to VARIABLE (not simple product)
3. Check that attributes are set up for this product (ATTRIBUTES MENU within product), check that “used for variations” is checkmarked
4. Did you add values with this ATTRIBUTES selection on the product page? (this is where you add in the variations of your attribute, like black, green, etc, for color)
5. Check the VARIATIONS MENU within the product. On mine, I have several variations set up as follows:

a) BLACK
b) GREEN

With this example, I have a dropdown menu for colour that says “choose an option”, and if I click on the dropdown arrow, I see the options black or green. I can also edit these variations so one is a different price. Once the option is selected, the quantity and add-to-cart will appear (and a price, if they are different prices).

This works well for me, perhaps you have missed a step.

If you go to PRODUCTS, ATTRIBUTES, is the TYPE “select” or “text”?

SELECT is select from drop-down menu
TEXT is type in the selection

Ok, what I was missing was documentation for woocommerce hooks and template functions. It’s like a tourist trying to drive through Dublin without a map when a football match is letting out (yes, I’ve done that).

Now I can start to make sense of the snippets & things I’ve been reading about.

There are so many gizmos and boxes and snippets that it’s easy to overlook. You’re welcome!

I was afraid you’d say that :<

Unfortunately reading the codex still doesn’t give a clear picture to someone like me. I get that there are differences between the two, but when you stare at the code in the php files it does not make sense to me, probably because they are not simple examples.

I did do a search here, and found some older posts here by someone who didn’t understand it either, subsequently found some snippets on github, and some of it seems to be starting to get through my thick head. I think I need to sleep on it a bit and maybe in the morning I’ll wake up smarter! Or at least know a better question to ask …

Thanks.

Did you try making the training a virtual product? (checkbox next to product data drop-down box)

It’s still happening, not consistently.

I haven’t used this extension, but it sounds like it might help.

I want to know this too!!

Ok, just tested this and it works. You need to save at every stage, rather than trying to enter everything at once.

First you need to set up attributes in the PRODUCT menu. For example, SHOE COLOR.
Then you CONFIGURE TERMS for this attribute (click on the button at the right hand side beside SHOE COLOR).
Add colors individually, such as black, brown, plaid, etc.

Then go to your product page. Beside Product Data select VARIABLE (rather than SIMPLE PRODUCT). SAVE (update).
Click on ATTRIBUTES and add the attribute you created earlier (SHOE COLOR). SAVE (update).
Click on VARIATIONS and individually add each shoe color, ie BLACK (remember to SAVE, update after each one).

View your page and you’ll see colours listed on the ADDITIONAL INFORMATION tab.
You’ll also see a drop-down menu on the product page where you can select the colour. Add it to the cart and you’ll see the colour selection there.

WooCommerce will remind you that you need to add attributes first before adding them to the product page.

Hope that helps!

Thanks, I will give this a try, haven’t edited php yet, need to set up a child theme and copy php, etc.

What are the “2” and “10” at the end of the remove action lines?

I guess I need to theme the h1 tags so they are not so prominent (to humans).

I’ve done everything I can do inside the theme from the theme options page, I want some very specific tweaks as I don’t like the basic WC look, fonts too big, too much white space, don’t want some elements to appear, etc.

I did post on support at woothemes, but since this theme is new, there’s not much community support for it there. I am waiting for a response from woo support, they have been really, really helpful!

I played with a 3rd party theme for a bit because I didn’t like the look of woo’s themes, but this one comes close enough that I’m willing to spend the time to really customize it myself.

Thanks again for your help, greatly appreciated. I’ll post back if I have any difficulties or questions with this snippet.
