In case others want to implement this specific change (modifying the name of a shipping option on checkout page), I found a workaround using CSS. Paste in “Additional CSS” in theme customizer:

label[for=shipping_method_0_flexible_shipping_single3]{
	 visibility: hidden;
}
label span{
	visibility: visible;
}

label[for=shipping_method_0_flexible_shipping_single3]:before {
	content: 'Shipping via Canada Post: ';
	visibility:visible;
	text-transform: none;
}
label[for=shipping_method_0_local_pickup5] {
	text-transform: none;
	line-height: normal;
}

The ID of the shipping method to be replaced (in this case, “shipping_method_0_flexible_shipping_single3”) can be found using the browser’s inspector tool.

Here’s a strange update:

Without changing anything, I tested the page again today with the Mobile-Friendly Test tool, and it reported that the page was mobile friendly. I then tried to validate the fixes in Google Search Console, and there it told me it was still broken. I double-checked with the Mobile-Friendly Test tool, and this time it reported that the page was mobile unfriendly. I’m baffled about why it’s testing unreliably.

In case it’s relevant, my theme is OceanWP.

Thanks for the tip, @joashrajin! That not only worked, but, as someone who hasn’t really worked with CSS before, it gave me some idea of how to come up with these kinds of modifications on my own.

Thanks for the tip, @abhikr781. I haven’t been able to figure it out quite yet.

Please go to Appearance > Customize > General Options > Page Title, from here select the product taxonomy as Category.

Done.

Go to Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks, and set the category-based permalinks, and check.

I’m a bit confused about the last part of that instruction: “set the category-based permalinks, and check.”
I tried switching Product permalinks from Custom base to Shop base with category, but when I try to save changes it reverts to Custom base. I’m not sure if that was even what you were recommending I try. Sorry, but please explain again!

I’m using AIOSEO.

Here’s an example product page: https://carrickseeds.ca/shop/legumes/beans/dolloff-bean/
The breadcrumbs show Home>Legumes>Dolloff bean, but I want it to include the subcategory “Beans,” thus: Home>Legumes>Beans>Dolloff bean.

Thanks again @gravid7. That worked!

If anyone has ideas about my second question, I’d still welcome those.

How do I transfer these techniques to the other shipping options? In particular, can I use this plugin to change the name of “Flexible Shipping”?

Thanks @gravid7! That worked.
One more thing, though – that also decapitalized the title of the shipping option so that it now says “Local pickup” instead of “Local Pickup.” Is there a way I can edit this text too and make it whatever I want?
How do I transfer these techniques to the other shipping options? In particular, can I use this plugin to change the name of “Flexible Shipping”?

I’ve kept working on this problem, and I think I may have found something that resolves it.

Some of the category/subcategory pictures were 900×725 and others were 800×600. It seems that the 800×600 ones were the ones that weren’t rendering properly. I’ve replaced them and the blurriness seems to be gone.

Based on the inspector, these pictures were being rendered on the page at far lower resolutions than either set of values given above. Why would one work better than another? Since I don’t yet understand what’s going on here and want to be confident that I have the knowledge to solve any future issues, I’m going to leave this thread unresolved for now.

Alright, I’ve activated “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” and let the site go live.
Have a look and see if you can figure out what’s going on. https://carrickseeds.ca/shop/
Thanks!

Hi @rainfallnixfig,

I’m still building my site. Is there a way to share a link to it here without it being publicly available/searchable yet? Would it work to publish it and select the option for asking search engines to not list it?

Thanks Maykato! I had assumed these sections of text were were “content” rather than something that came with the theme I picked, but it turned out that you were right – the theme was the issue. After looking around my theme’s website, I’ve got it fixed now.

In case anyone else has this issue, here’s what I found to fix the problem.
The theme was OceanWP.
From their support articles:
Alter the Shop Page title
https://docs.oceanwp.org/article/481-alter-the-shop-page-title
Alter the Shop Page Subheading
https://docs.oceanwp.org/article/482-alter-the-shop-page-subheading
Remove the Shop Page Subheading
https://docs.oceanwp.org/article/500-remove-the-shop-page-subheading
I actually didn’t need the subheading, so I removed it. I think someone who actually understands PHP might well be able to change the text colour of the subheading after having a look at the above articles.

Incidentally, you can see that the subtitle text is dark grey, which does not show up well against my page title background colour. I’m also trying to figure out how to change that text colour.

Hi Igor,
Thanks for your ideas. As it turns out, what you described is basically what I’ve already been trying to do.
Working with the Woocommerce designated “shop” page, I’m entering a page title in the title box and a subtitle in a “paragraph” block. When I save and view the page, the title I entered appears nowhere and the subtitle appears as text below the page title bar, not as a subtitle on that bar. As you can see, the page title bar still has the text “Products” followed by the subtitle “This is where you can browse products in this store.” These are the parts I want to change. More ideas?
