Hi Jamie,

Which buttons, text, are you trying to edit?

Is there a way I can change the theme for testing things like this without making live changes to the site?

Setting up a staging site would be the way to go there. You can start with this guide https://conschneider.de/sync-wordpress-woocommerce-staging-production-site-current-overview/ , and then google for addition information.

all the data entered into woo commerce in the previous theme will automatically be moved over

Not really, the product data doesn’t move anywhere, it’s still in the same spot in the database. Changing themes is like applying a new paint to your car or house, if that makes sense.

Content and design are separate, if you want to learn more about it, you can check out CSS Zen Garden, and see all the different ways the same content can be displayed through different design templates.

Which other theme did you test it with? I’d recommend Storefront, or Twenty Seventeen, both free but well tested themes.

You might also want to check the System Status, and Logs to see if something is off, especially in the Active Plugins area of the System Status which will show you if some plugin aren’t yet compatible with the WooCommerce version that you have.

Which Braintree plugin are you using exactly, have a link to it? Are you using the latest version for it?

When you activate the plugin, and check the Active Plugins section of the System Status, does it say that the plugin isn’t compatible with your current version of WooCommerce? If so, then you’ll want to contact the plugin authors and let them know about it.

How did you set the product price? For what kind of product?

These docs can help you get started too:
– https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/managing-products/#section-6
– https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/variable-product/

You can keep an eye on the WooCommerce GitHub repository too: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues .

And make sure to contact the authors to let them know their plugins need to get updated too.

Good luck!

Hey there,

Some existing plugins might help:

Hey there,

Switching themes won’t affect all the work he’s done adding products, but each time he changes themes, he’ll need to rethink how to design the display of the store, and spend time getting familiar with all the options the new theme offers.

I’d advise your friend to write down a list of features they want, then check out a few themes to narrow it down.

Cool! Took another look and see the correct flat rate showing now! ??

(If needed next time, you can upload a screenshot on a file sharing service and share the link here)

It sounds like you might have added a shipping method for each shipping class, but you actually only need to add one shipping method, Flat Rate, and define the shipping cost for each class in there.
If you can’t get it to work can you post a screenshot of your Flat Rate settings?

Could this be because I have many attribute variation in each product?

I doubt it, but you could test by temporarily hiding some products, and just displaying a few.

Site sluggishness can also come from plugins, so test by deactivating some that you might not need, and see if it helps.

You can also use the Network Monitor from Firefox https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Network_Monitor to analyze what happens when you visit your site.

With the basic WooCommerce plugin, you can do that by setting up a Flat Rate, and then use Product Shipping Classes.

For more fancy shipping based on weight or dimensions, you can also check the Table Rate Shipping .
