Can’t Add Or Save Changes To Products

Hey @stephenturner – oh no! That definitely doesn’t sound right. Let’s see what we can do.

First of all, a 500 error is a server error. That means that the request sent to the server can’t be fulfilled properly. If you’d like to find out a bit more about that, this article on Kinsta describes it well: https://kinsta.com/blog/500-internal-server-error/

The same article also has a section on fixing them but our experience is that the vast majority of these errors are caused by a theme or plugin sending conflicting signals with WooCommerce core.

The best way to determine this is to:
?

• Temporarily switch your theme to Storefront
• Disable all plugins except for WooCommerce
• Repeat the action that is causing the problem

If you’re not seeing the same problem after completing the conflict test, then you know the problem was with the plugins and/or theme you deactivated. To figure out which plugin is causing the problem, reactivate your other plugins one by one, testing after each, until you find the one causing conflict. You can find a more detailed explanation on how to do a conflict test here.

All fixed, was a plugin called: woocommerce product sot and display, removed the plugin and all good, thank you for your time, ps, can i confirm there is now way in the standard installation of woocommerce to change the order of products as they are listed?

On the frontend, it depends quite a bit on the theme you have.

Let’s start with the WP Dashboard. If you go to products, you can sort them there:

Then, under Appearance > Customize > WooCommerce > Product Catalog, you can choose the ordering:

If this doesn’t show up there, it means your theme is not using this option of sorting in WooCommerce.

Fantastic! Thanks or your help… ??
