vendor role not showing

Hi @dicassp

That’s odd. The plugin, upon activation, creates the Pending Vendor, and the Vendor role.

Edit a user, any user is fine (wp-admin > Users, pick one, click Edit). Do you see the Pending Vendor and Vendor role as options?

If the answer is NO, then go here and follow these instructions:

If the answer is YES, that you do see the roles, could you please clarify your question a little better for me? I’m not sure what “vendor role on functions part is not showing” actually means… Describe it best you can! ??

Cheers

Hello Ben,

Thanks for your quick answer.

I am sorry if I didn’t make myself clear, but that’s what it is happening: I can’t see Pending Vendor and Vendor roles as options.

When I go to user > edit > change role, the only options that I have are admin, customer, author… the basics ones, but Pending Vendor and Vendor I don’t have.

Just followed the instructions on the link you send me, but it didn’t work as well ??

One thing that just crossed my mind, my theme is not compatible with woocommerce. When I installed woocommerce plugin, I had to do the third party theme configuration. Now it is working complete fine.

Do you think that this might be a problem why I don’t have the Pending Vendor and Vendor options?

Thank you very much!

Cheers

One more information.

When I uploaded the plugin and activated it, I had a message that the pluging archive had problems with the archive (I have no idea what it means, that’s the message that showed up after activating the plugin).

Anyway, I refreshed the page and activated the plugin again and it worked out.

Do you think it means something?

Thanks

Chances are, you followed the WooCommerce instructions and created a “woocommerce.php” file. If you did, WC Vendors will not work on your site. That trick is simply a 60 second hack to trick your theme into supporting WooCommerce. But unfortunately, it doesnt add all the hooks/actions/filters which most WooCommerce plugins use to display data and do stuff.

You will want to find a 100% compatible WooCommerce theme for your site. ?? Storefront is a WooThemes theme that is free. You might give that a shot or search around for another.

I always recommend starting from scratch if you dont already have a live site. Install WordPress, WooCommerce, WC Vendors, and then your theme. Start tweaking and tinkering from there and build an epic store. ??

Ahhhhh really???? Can’t believe it. I was so happy with all the reviews about WC Vendors.

Yes, I followed the woocommerce instructions and created a woocommer.php. Anyway, it seems that i’ll need to look for another theme, so I’ll be able to use wc vendors ??

Thank you very much for your help, Ben.

Cheers
