    Hey everyone,

    I’m running into a bit of a head-scratcher with my website and could use your expertise. Here’s what I’m working on and could use some help with:

    1. Product Page URL: I need to change the URL from /my-shop/ to /shop/. I previously had a page at /shop/, but I deleted it completely from the backend and even cleared the cache. Despite this, /shop/ is still being used by the old page that should no longer exist, and it’s taking up the slug space. Any ideas on how to get /shop/ freed up and functional again?
    2. Filters: I’m looking to add a price slider (from $0 to $5000) and a dropdown filter for categories, similar to what Tradesmint has. Any tips or suggestions on how to implement these?
    3. Mobile Layout: I’d like to match the mobile image layout to Tradesmint’s style. Right now, the images don’t look quite right compared to theirs. I’m aiming for a similar layout for the images. Any advice on achieving that would be fantastic!
    4. Security: I want to make the site more secure overall. Any general enhancements or best practices for improving security would be great.
    5. Speed: The site feels a bit sluggish, so I’d love to make it run faster. Any tips on optimizing for better performance would be awesome.

    Thanks a ton for any help you can offer. Looking forward to hearing your suggestions as I really just wanna get this show on the road aha!

    Thanks all

  • Hello @courseaddictz

    Let’s break down each of your needs: 1. Product Page URL

    To reclaim the /shop/ URL:

    1. Check for Conflicts: Ensure no other pages, posts, or custom post types are using the /shop/ slug. Sometimes, WordPress can retain the slug in various places. Use a plugin like WP Sweep or WP-Optimize to clean up and ensure there’s no residual data.
    2. Permalinks: Go to Settings > Permalinks in your WordPress dashboard and click Save Changes. This will refresh your permalink structure and might resolve the issue.
    3. .htaccess: If you’re using Apache, check your .htaccess file in the root of your WordPress installation for any redirects or rewrites that might be causing conflicts.
    4. Database Check: Sometimes, database entries can cause issues. Use a plugin like phpMyAdmin to inspect the wp_posts table and ensure there are no lingering entries for /shop/.

    2. Filters

    For a price slider and dropdown filter:

    1. Price Slider: You can use a plugin like WooCommerce Product Filter or FacetWP. They offer customizable sliders and filtering options.
    2. Dropdown Filter: For category dropdowns, WooCommerce Product Filter or WOOF – WooCommerce Products Filter are good options. They allow you to create and manage filters easily.
    3. Customization: If you need to match Tradesmint’s exact look, you might need some custom CSS or JS. Look into the specific styling or scripts they use and adjust yours accordingly.

    3. Mobile Layout

    To match Tradesmint’s mobile layout:

    1. Inspect Tradesmint: Use browser developer tools to inspect how Tradesmint styles their images. Pay attention to CSS rules related to image size, alignment, and container settings.
    2. Custom CSS: Apply similar CSS to your site. You can add custom CSS under Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS. Use media queries to target mobile devices specifically.
    3. Responsive Design: Ensure your theme is fully responsive. Sometimes, tweaking the theme’s existing media queries or adding new ones can resolve layout issues.

    4. Security Enhancements

    To improve site security:

    1. Security Plugins: Install a security plugin like Wordfence or Sucuri Security. These plugins offer comprehensive protection and monitoring.
    2. Regular Updates: Ensure WordPress, themes, and plugins are always up-to-date to protect against vulnerabilities.
    3. Backups: Use a plugin like UpdraftPlus to keep regular backups of your site.
    4. User Permissions: Review and adjust user roles and permissions to ensure only necessary users have admin access.
    5. Strong Passwords: Enforce strong passwords for all user accounts.

    5. Speed Optimization

    To speed up your site:

    1. Caching: Use a caching plugin like WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache to reduce load times.
    2. Image Optimization: Compress images using a plugin like Smush or Imagify.
    3. Minification: Minify CSS, JavaScript, and HTML using plugins like Autoptimize.
    4. Database Optimization: Regularly clean and optimize your database using WP-Optimize.
    5. Hosting: Ensure your hosting provider offers good performance. Sometimes upgrading your plan or switching to a more optimized host can make a big difference.
