For example if you add the 24/7 Retro thermal cooker to the cart and assign a location of NSW + Five Dock + 2046 you get $33.05, however if you then add another product like the Silicone Mat to the order as well the cost drops to $22.85.

Now, if you then remove the 24/7 unit and add it back in, (now added 2nd to the cart) you get a completely different shipping total of $46.65.

So that is 2x different prices for the exact 2 same items, all depending on what order they get added to the cart. This issue seems to exist mainly with the 24/7 unit as you will get similar behaviours if you replace the Silicone Mat with say a Carry Bag and add it with the 24/7.

For testing, I removed the current theme and all plugins and reinstalled only WordPress, Woo Commerce and Aus Post and still get the same issues, so I don’t think this is a plugin conflict as the default theme and fresh installs of the core frameworks get the same price issues. I have since restored the site to full working order.

Checking the forums the most common outcome is update the plugin however the extension version is 1.10.6, the current most updated version at time of writing.

Further testing, we have another site that also sells the Silicone Mat, so I created a test product with the same dimensions as the 24/7 unit on the Ecopot site for the test product on this site, and also have the same issues with the cost dropping / changing when adding them both to the cart and calculating the shipping costs – perhaps it is to do with the dimensions of the unit 38x34x34 / 5kg, as that seems to be the common denominator.

So, that is the exact same issue on 2x different sites that both use the same Aus Post plugin (and had almost identical items created and added to the carts for testing), which makes me think the issue may be plugin related or how the plugin is dealing with a bulky package when combining it with multiple items, but I could be wrong. Regardless I think I need some help to solve this one.

Thanks in advance.

Genius

I’m trying to change the default sorting order for products on my shop page. Specifically I want the products in a custom order by default.

I’ve tried every solution I can find in “How To” guides, but none of them seem to work, or even be relevant to this theme. The shop page remains sorted by popularity (even though I have zero orders so far. So really it’s just sorting by most recently added.)

Most guides on the internet say to change the default sorting option in the Product Catalog setting of the Customize menu. But no such option exists for this theme.

I’ve tried clicking “Sorting” on the All Products page, and dragging and dropping the products into a custom order. But the Shop Page is still sorting by default, despite the new order in wordpress.

I’ve tried changing Menu Order values for any given product to 1 or even -1, but it has no effect.

Given that the products are technically sorted by most recently added right now, I even tried changing the dates the products were added on the product posts, but it had no effect.

How can I change the default sorting option on the shop page to a custom order?

Thanks

When I set up Filter By: “Tags”, and Order By: “Default” OR “Numeric”, the order does change, however, neither of which are the correct order that I have set in my product tags management.

The theme I’m using is called Woodmart if that helps.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Current Default Sorting

Desired Default Sorting

I managed to sort by stock status and title (A-Z) with the snippet below.

add_filter('woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args', 'custom_catalog_orderby');
function custom_catalog_orderby( $args ) {
    $args['meta_key'] = '_stock_status';
    $args['orderby'] = 'meta_value title';
    $args['order'] = 'asc'; 
    return $args;
}

How would you include the feature meta_key into the above filter to get the desired sorting outlined above?

Any insights and/or directions are highly appreciated.

Is it possible to get into such a situation or do I have to always have a title, price, brand, value … for all the products

.A title that will always be the same size
.A price that will always be the same size even if there is no price for the product
.Add button to the basket to pin to the right side
.The brand button will be the same size and on the left side

I will help
Thanks
