Hello – anyone checking support tickets here? At least acknowledging the issue would give me something to report back to my boss about. We are required to update to php 8 and your plugin breaks. Will you be releasing a fix?

Yes this appears to be an issue with the latest version of the plugin. I’m not sure if anyone is supporting this plugin because this has been going on for a while and continues to be an issue.

Update:

This issue still persists. I have verified that it is related to the plugin.

Dear Moderator – is there no way to alert the plugin author to the fact that they are completely ignoring a support request?

Hi! Hoping you might have an update on how I can fix this? Thank you.

[Moderator Note: No bumping, thank you.]

The faking it really doesn’t make sense, though, because essentially if I create a “New Product” category, I’ll just be applying that category to every single product that gets added, and then showing the products added within the last 2 weeks. So the “New Product” part of that seems completely unnecessary – because a more simple solution would be just showing the products added in the last two weeks without the extraneous “New Product” category.

Isn’t there some way for me to use the WooCommerce “archive” page as a basis for creating a secondary “shop” page that shows the last two weeks of products on one particular page of the website? I tried this, making a “custom page template” using the WooCommerce Archive page as the basis – but when I use it there are no posts generated by the query – I believe because there isn’t a query. So I tried adding a new query but I couldn’t get that to work. Maybe that’s where I need the help? How do I write a new query so that a WooCommerce “Archive” page will work as a “Custom Page Template” ?

But using the custom shortcode doesn’t solve the problem you mentioned – I still don’t have the filters – right?

No help?

Ahh nevermind. Stupid midnight to five dashboard lockout.

Ok that makes sense – thanks so much for the help!

Not sure if you are interested in helping me understand what you did, but I think I generally understand everything except this line:

$seen_focus_area[$focus_area] = 1;

I imagine it is what allows the variable to be printed once, while ! array_key_exists is keeping it from being printed multiple times, but I’m not sure what that one particular line is going. Thanks so much for helping me out with this, great solution. Very simple.

You nailed it! Thank you so much! Works perfectly. Now let me study this and see if I can understand how you did it. Awesome, awesome help. Thanks!

I ended up solving this by adding a new widget area where I wanted this to appear and using this plugin as a widget. Thank you for the help.

Ok – that helps, at least, but I’m not using the plugin as a widget, I’m using a template tag for it to show up – if I set it as a widget, the thumbnails do show up. But when I use it as a template tag, they don’t. I wonder if I need to pass some variable into the template tag to get the thumbs to appear? Anyone have an idea?
