So as to help debug this properly, I’ve placed your patch version of the file, reactivated the plugin and we’ll see in the morning if the error message is generated.

Many thanks for your help with all of this!

Frank

Thanks for your reply,

Server running PHP version: 7.4.33.
MySQL version: 10.3.38-MariaDB-log-cll-lve

Best wishes

Frank

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I may have found the error (in contrast to my assertion in my original post LOL). Remove the trailing comma after :

'</strong>',

The same syntax error appears 4 times in this file install-automator.php. Once corrected, that’s it, no more syntax errors.

I’ll see if the error messages continue and if they do I’ll let you know. Many thanks.

Hi and thank you for replying,

The versions are:

Uncanny Toolkit : 3.6.4.3
LearnDash LMS : 4.5.2.1

Thanks!

Thank you so much for this tip. Saved my bacon!

Yeah, it works just fine, nothing to worry about.

Hi and thanks for commenting on my rating.

Polylang has plenty of 5* reviews, well-deserved. Nobody will read this warning if it has 5*. They will if it has 1*. People will wonder why this guy gave it one star. This is a salutary warning to anybody who installs Polylang to treat the Lingotek encouragement that directly follows the Polylang installation with great care and forethought.

I’m trying to warn people the only way I know how. I accept your criticism and you do have a point, but I’m not prepared to change my rating right now.

Take care, Peace

I’m using it with the free Astra theme and it works just fine:

Yeah, I figured it out.
I’m not likely to have any Free products so this solves my problem.
Thanks for the prompt feedback!

Updated.
Thanks

I’ve just had the same thing happen to me. This is how I can reproduce it:

I have a link to the main Catalogue page on the Home page. The Catalogue page is a standard wordpress page with just the shortcode. This works fine and I get a Catalogue view.

Then I go into General Settings > Main listing page and UNCHECK “Enable Main Listing Page”. I click Save Changes and then when I click on the Catalogue page from the link on my Home page I get an simple formatted page which shows:

“Catalogue

Home ? Catalogue”

and this is copied over and over again down the page in an infinite loop so that eventually it would crash the browser if I let it.

To get rid of it I click my back button, go back into General Settings > Main listing page and CHECK “Enable Main Listing Page”, Save Changes and when I click on the Catalogue page link on my Home page I get the correct Catalogue page.

This solution does not fix the problem for your website users, only for yourself. I too am looking for a solution but a permanent one one that solves it in the code of the affected web page, not in my own browser. EVERYBODY needs to see my web page, not just me!

Hello Pablo
That is EXACTLY what I wanted!!
This makes all the difference when updating all products.
I don’t understand that nobody asked this from WooCommerce before.
Thank you SO much ??

Hello Pablo and thank you for the quick response.

Your plugin and the method you illustrated works perfectly for setting the default sort order for the public-facing website. The problem is that inside the Woocommerce back-end, the product sorting default is still the product ID (1) and not the SKU (2):

I have searched everywhere for a solution to this without having to edit the code manually and I find it incredible that Woocommerce make it so difficult to sort your products. There is no doubt that it’s a great online shop solution, but this sorting business is something I find very badly thought out. If you manage your store based on SKU it is completely normal that you would want your back end products to be sorted by SKU by default when you click on “Products”.

I will have to admit defeat, give up and live with this annoying limitation.

This is of course not your fault nor your issue and I want to thank you for your help anyway and good luck with your plugins!

This is a pain in the arse and WooCommerce should address it as it’s causing problems for thousands of shop owners.

For my part, I had the same issue and solved it as follows:

• In WooCommerce, go into Products > Categories and put your mouse over the “uncategorized” category to get its ID from the underlying URL (in my case this was 58)
• Add a Custom CSS snippet as follows:
  .cat-item-58 {display:none}

Job done. Doesn’t matter what happens from now on because the uncategorized category will always retain the same ID. That’s why this probably works better than removing this category from the sql which might always be re-created (with a different number) by another WC update.
