    2. Gak; my apologies! The names of the two plugins aren’t exactly the same, but I didn’t notice that. I’m trying to use yours now.

    1.Okay, let me ask it this way (I’m not sure how to understand your response); can I set this up so that all administrators can see the wholesale pricing?

    4. (new) Can I allow only select buyers on an individual basis to see wholesale pricing? If so, how to do that?

    5. Each product is offered in 4 variations. I want to offer wholesale prices on only one of those variations. Part of that variation contains the words “Twisted Hank”, though it also contains the length which varies. A few individual items will need to be exempted from any such rule. In each case, those exempted variations are marked “Do not allow” backorders. Can a rule be written to accomplish this, or will I need to handle each variation individually somehow?

    That looks like an interesting thing to play with some more. I saw it there, but hadn’t pursued it. It does seem to be geared more to navigation than I had in mind unless it has a function that I’m missing.

    I like the looks of the slider for related products that comes with Virtue Premium, but it wasn’t configurable to the extent I need. It displayed random products from a pool of products comprised of all the categories in use for that product, and that was just providing a lot of unhelpful suggestions in my case.

    I’ll keep pokin’ around. Something will turn up eventually. Take care!

    Hello!

    The related product feature is one I’d like to utilize, or something that works like it anyway, but my situation is more complex than the tools I’ve looked at.

    Here’s my site. Yarns are categorized both by their thickness or weight, and by their color. So each yarn has at least 2 categories. The tools I’ve seen will use my shortcodes, but not let me select which, much less place them in hierarchical order.

    So when you come to my shop, and are looking at a blue sock weight yarn, I’d like there to be a carousel (or something) near the bottom that displays other yarns that I’ve categorized with at least blue & sock weight.

    Someone suggested that up-sells might work out better. Adding all that data manually, and then maintaining it doesn’t seem feasible, though. Can I use shortcode in that field? What sort of generator would help me with the code?

    So, you don’t know, either.

    Thank you very much for all your patient help.

    I’m working in my child theme, now. My tabs work flawlessly thanks largely to your example and explanation above.

    I won’t mark this topic as resolved just yet, though, in case I can think of something else to come bug you about.

    Peace,

    Child theme: I followed these instructions and all makes sense until

    Step Six: Visit your site. Since no changes have been made yet, the site should look and function exactly the same as before.

    Step Seven: Make your changes to the CSS file in your child theme’s directory. You are now free to alter your theme’s style with out fear of losing your alterations after an update.

    That’s perplexing. Does WP still refer to the parent theme, but use any changes I make to the child? What happens, since all the changes have been made to the parent, when I update the software?

    Shortcodes: This seems logical. I have a lot to learn to make it work, but it beats doing all that copy/paste by hand

    1. Yes, good isn’t it!

    It is. It makes this idea reasonable. Without it, I don’t know how It could be done. Well, it couldn’t happen for a while, but I did find this tool an hour or two ago, and I believe it might do the job, but it’s license is good for only a year, and it’s not cheap.

    Thank you again, Lorro.

    Hi, Lorro;

    I keep learning about mistakes I’ve made, then having to go back and re-do something to either compensate for, or to undo the mistake. For example, the hover-flip function of the Kadence Virtue Premium theme came as a complete surprise, and it happened that I had things in place for it to work.

    The problem is that the images I made that are used on the flip side were started when the habit was to keep those images at 512px, and worse, not really care too much about image quality as they were only going to be displayed at less than half that resolution.

    I’m now shooting all of those images again.

    You mentioned a child theme. I haven’t done that yet. I think I need to do that before I do anything else. I did actually start. The empty folder is there on the server waiting. The directions I found tell you to navigate, either via admin or ftp, to styles.css, copy that…except that styles.css in this theme when accessed through either method isn’t css. It looks like this.

    The shortcode concept is only just becoming something more than conceptual, but lemme ask a couple of questions.

    1. Am I understanding that at each instance I type a particular short code, it references some php in that particular file. So in 2 weeks, I find I misspelled weak when I meant week in one of those instances that affected 150 listings. I can edit that in my php, and correct it in all 150 listings on the spot?

    2. Since I have the tabs worked out on one listing, can I use an online editor to convert the html of that content (one tab at a time) to this php?

    {
    $html = 'Blah blah';
    $html .= 'etc etc.';
    return $html;
    }

    Since I have images to update, corrections in my descriptions, and now short code + tab titles to add, I believe it may be faster to delete the product pages I’ve made, start with a fresh image file (I’ve changed the size and resolution of the thumbs several times), and begin again.

    But first, this child them.

    I eventually did ask over there, and just now got the same answer you gave. I wish I’d have thought of it sooner. So, now I also have to be very careful to use text that won’t likely ever need to be edited. Thanks for everything.

    Thank you again, very much. Perfect.

    The features I like best about the Premium version of Virtue so far aren’t ones I even noticed when I was reading about it before I bought it. I’m wondering, though; is there a way to populate all incidents of the same custom tab in all the products within a given category at the same time?

    That’s beautiful code, and it does the trick. Thanks a heap. That makes a world of difference in how those galleries read.

    I think when I added the CSS for the hover fade, the site may have been in the midst of it’s move. It’s completed now, and is back to it’s permanent location. And you’re right, it is working.

    I’m not a real widgety kind of person, but I like spiffy navigation effects, and I like cool effects at images. for example, I’d love to be able to hover on one of those gallery images and a large lightbox image appears.

    That said, the tabs you tabs in that location make me want the premium theme even more. I think I have enough in the budget to get it. Will that also let me hide the Aditional Information tab?

    Thread Starter Dyers2

    (@dyers2)

    Thanks for the response, lorro.

    1. Actually, it’s anywhere that thumbnails are displayed, on any of the gallery-like pages – I really want to get rid of all the text so that only the images are displayed. The only place I really want text is on the individual listing pages themselves.

    2. I was able to change the color, but I want to get rid of it. There’s text that I typed before I activated a theme: “These are currently available in our Etsy & eBay shops, but the website isn’t quite ready for business yet.” I can’t find where to delete that, either. behind that par, you can see if you hover over the bottom edge, is something else with links. It’s be interesting to access whatever’s behind there.

    3. Your CSS looked good, and I thought it was going to do the trick, but…dang.

    4. Each of my listings have a big block of redundant information; it’s identical for all of them. I’d like for that information to appear on the “Additional Information” tab”. If you were to look at any of the individual listings, it’s all the stuff that’s below the horizontal line in the description.

    Cleaned things up a bit. Home page is here. You can see the image from the screen shot in the OP here.

    4. Next to the product Description tab is an Additional Information tab. I can find plenty of information for how to remove it, but I want to propagate it. How can I do that?

    I have a lot of work to do, but kind suggestions are welcome.

    The theme is Kadence Virtue. If my url is required, I’ll have to come back. I’m not really ready just yet.
