Shop page – no selection

Hi @floq-design!

So far the only solution I’ve got is to create another page, tell Woocommerce to use it and setup a 301 redirect – seems overkill / hacky?

You wouldn’t need to set up a 301 redirect. You only need to create and set the new page under wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-settings&tab=products and WooCommerce will pick it up. Is that where you are setting the newly created page, or are you setting it elsewhere?

Cheers!

@rynald0s I didn’t explain my setup sorry.
I don’t want a Woocommerce shop page at all!
A project I’m working has the product details integrated into other pages, so need for a Woocommerce shop page.
Plus the site already has a /shop/ page for merchandise.

Hi @floq-design –

Thanks for the clarification.

WooCommerce expects there to be a link to the shop page in a number of different circumstances – such as the “Return to Shop” button you see when you visit an empty cart. You can, however, change what the name/URL of that shop page in your WooCommerce settings as you noticed.

Because WooCommerce defaults to /shop/ and you already have that URL being used, you could create a different shop page with a different name and then do a 301 redirect as you mentioned.

I would just recommend clicking everything your customers might click to make sure they don’t get any dead links. ??

We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to go ahead and mark this thread as resolved. If you have any other questions please feel free to start a new thread.
