Base URL for Shop and permalinks for WooCommerce pages

  • Resolved gloofactory

    3 years, 7 months ago

    I’ve inherited a site that uses WooCommerce. While upgrading it, I noticed that the permalinks for several pages are of the form https://domain.org/about-us/<page-name>.php. So, for example, the permalink for the Cart and Checkout pages are: https://domain.org/about-us/cart.php and https://domain.org/about-us/checkout.php, respectively.

    This doesn’t make any sense to me, and so I’d like to change it. However, on the page that appears at Settings -> Permalinks, under the heading that reads Product Permalinks, the Shop base radio button has a value of https://domain.org/about-us/sample-product/, implying that the Shop base setting is set to https://domain.org/about-us.

    How can I modify the Shop base URL and move WooCommerce related pages out from under this intermediate path of about-us? I cannot find the setting for the base Shop URL in the WP/WooCommerce interface.

    Hi there,

    That certainly is strange! Generally, the site address would just be determined by the settings under Settings > General (below), and then product/category links would be set in the Permalinks page you were looking at.

    If you open up the Cart and Checkout pages, do you have them set with a Parent page in the Page Attributes section?

    parent page

    Perhaps they got set as children of the About Us page?

    Thanks for your reply, @kellymetal. Yes, the pages (Cart, Checkout, etc) have a parent, but that Parent is the default homepage that is mapped to the root of the domain (https://domain.org). That’s why this is so puzzling…there is no intermediate node/ancestor on this tree that’s visible in the administrative UI.

    While testing, I found the following. When I set the Parent Page to…

    • No Parent: the page permalink is right under the root of the domain
    • Homepage: the page permalink includes the intermediate and unwanted “about-us” path segment
    • Store Page: the page permalink includes both the unwanted ‘about-us’ and the ‘store’ directory/segment (eg https://domain.org/about-us/store/checkout)

    But both WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL are defined in wp-config.php as https://domain.org and that’s the way it appears in the General Settings.

    Would you happen to know where this might be in the backend? If I could get a table name before I start looking around the database, it would be helpful.

    Hi there,

    No Parent: the page permalink is right under the root of the domain

    Wasn’t this the goal? To remove any intermediate part and have the page right under the root domain — i.e. https://domain.org/cart?

    On all my personal sites and most sites I see, the WooCommerce pages are set without any Parent page. When I change it to be the child of a different page, I see that it adds that page’s slug to the URL.

    Was your goal different from the https://domain.org/cart example? If so, what were you trying to set it as?

    The goal is to understand why permalinks contain about-us and why the Shop base URL seems to as well. As I mentioned in my earlier post:

    However, on the page that appears at Settings -> Permalinks, under the heading that reads Product Permalinks, the Shop base radio button has a value of https://domain.org/about-us/sample-product/, implying that the Shop base setting is set to https://domain.org/about-us.

    Ideally, the cart and checkout pages would be under the Shop base URL, and so my main concern is correcting the issue with the Shop base.

    Hi @gloofactory,

    Just checking, from your SSR, I saw that:

    ### WC Pages ###

Shop base: #2704 - /
Cart: #2780 - /about-peace-supplies/cart/
Checkout: #2786 - /about-peace-supplies/checkout/

    * Something is not right here with the Shop base. Could you go to WP-Admin → Pages and see if you can find the Shop page and modify its URL slug to something else (shop is fine), so that the end result is like mysitedomain/shop (without a parent page).
    * Also, it seems that you selected /about-peace-supplies/ to be the parent page of your cart and checkout pages, you will want to remove the parent page for these pages as well.

    Let us know how it goes.
    Thanks.
