Hey Andre,

We were working on updates for HPOS, but have not completed it as this functionality is now available in WooCommerce Core. https://developer.woocommerce.com/2024/09/12/woocommerce-9-3-optimizations-accessibility-improvements-and-more/#more-8760610

My recommendation is to export the fields stored in our meta field and upload it to Woo core. The field is?hwp_product_gtin and can be mapped directly to the new core field.

Does that work?

Cheers,

Ian

Hi there,

If you’re looking to export the field from our plugin to import into the other, you could do so by using any exporter that will export product meta fields, including the default WooCommerce product exporter.

The field is hwp_product_gtin

In the meantime, I should probably bring to your attention that WooCommerce has introduced a GTIN field in Woo itself as of version 9.3.0: https://developer.woocommerce.com/2024/09/12/woocommerce-9-3-optimizations-accessibility-improvements-and-more/#more-8760610

Cheers,

Ian

Hey Christophe,

Thanks for letting me know you found a solution to your most recent question! The Barn2 team originally developed this plugin and some of the documentation hasn’t been moved over. Thanks for bringing this to our attention ??

Please let me know if you have any further questions!

Hi there,

You can insert the shortcode just about anywhere in WordPress. Based on your current placement on the URL you provided, it appears you’re using a Widgetized footer. So to add this, you would go to the footer area, remove Better Recent Comments and add a Shortcode block instead.

Can you try that out and let me know if it works for you?

Hi there,

Thanks for the question, I’m happy to help!

In the default widget settings, there is currently no way to modify the size of the avatar in the settings, as you’ve found. We don’t intend to modify this at this time, but there’s some good news:

1. You could modify the widget with CSS by targeting the avatar class
2. Or you could use the shortcode to render Better Recent Comments, which gives you access ot the avatar_size option

For example, this will show the comments with a much larger avatar:

[better_recent_comments number="15" date_format="F j, Y" format="{avatar} {author} on {post}: “{comment}” {date}" avatar_size="150"]

Where you can change the 150 value to fit your preferred size.

So while CSS might work, I’d recommend switching to the shortcode and using these values to generate the larger avatar.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers,

Ian

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out! I took a look at the CTX Feed plugin (at least the free version) and it appears that their plugin doesn’t map to an existing field, but rather has a setting that allows you to add a GTIN to your products using their plugin.

I’d recommend taking a look at that and seeing if you can map the existing data to their preferred meta field.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers,

Ian

@mattias67 This took me a little bit longer to sort out than I’d like to admit, but here’s the solution that I recommend for your setup.

This isn’t using our plugin at all, but if you go into the Customizer to add Additional CSS you can use one of these two, depending on whether you’re running blocks or a shortcode based store. If you’re uncertain of what any of these things mean, please follow up and I’ll be happy to clarify further ??

Blocks:

.wp-block-button__link.wp-element-button.wc-block-components-product-button__button.product_type_external:before {
display: inline-block;
font-family: WooCommerce;
float: left;
content: "\e01d";
font-weight: 300;
margin-right: 1em;
}

Shortcode:

.button.wp-element-button.product_type_external:before {
display: inline-block;
font-family: WooCommerce;
float: left;
content: "\e01d";
font-weight: 300;
margin-right: 1em;
}

You may want to tweak the styles a little bit depending on your theme, but I did this in Twenty Twenty Four and it looked exactly how our plugin does.

As noted before, I’ve logged a request for our team to consider allowing our Cart Icon setting to apply to External products as well, but we’re not likely to make that change in the near term, so hopefully this CSS gets you what you need!

Let me know if you have any additional questions!

Hi there, hello!

This is an interesting question, so thanks for asking! Overall, our plugin doesn’t do much on External products as Woo core gives you the opportunity to edit the text on the external product button on the Product page. No reason to attempt to override an already-customizable solution, right?

That being said: Are you looking to add the little cart icon to the Add to cart button on an External product specifically?

Hey there,

Thanks for raising the question! You’re absolutely correct that we have not released an update declaring compatibility just yet, but rest assured, I’ve gone through testing using a fresh install of WordPress on 6.6.1 and the plugin works as intended.

If you happen to experience any issues at all upon upgrading, please let us know!

Any other questions?

Cheers,

Ian

Hey @rudysimons,

Glad to see the plugin was easy to use. Thanks so much for the kind words! ??

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Cheers,
Ian

Hey @rshay — thanks so much for your question!

Do you mind clarifying a bit by what you’re looking for when you say view id? I’m not 100% sure what it might mean in this context. That being said, you can get some additional detail on how to customize a shortcode for your need here on the primary plugin page: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/better-recent-comments/

There’s also a bit of detail available on the original developer’s blog here.

Please let me know if this helps or if you would like to provide some additional detail on what exactly you’re looking for. I’m happy to help!

Cheers,

Ian

Thanks for sharing that additional info! I think your theme developer is correct, as the element that is being impacted is specific to your theme. I wouldn’t know how to fix that without being more familiar with that particular theme.

I’ll step out and leave room for someone else to respond if they have a quick fix to recommend!

Hey @kanekage,

It looks like your theme is removing that element at below 480px intentionally. You may want to reach out to your theme author to get guidance on the best way to modify that behavior.

What theme is it?

Cheers,
Ian

Visual Studio Code and the add-on I recommended are free. VSC is on the MIT license and John Billion’s add-on is open source.

That being said, I’m not convinced the license of your development software is relevant to whether it should be used when developing for an open source project.

Hey @fiablebiz!

There’s an absolute ton to learn so you may want to start out by defining your question a little bit more specifically. That being said, I have a few recommendations to throw your way anyways:

– Most developers I know use PHPStorm by JetBrains for the robust IDE features, like the smart navigation and the debugging assistance
– That being said, I use Visual Studio Code with the WP Intellisense add-on by John Billion and it’s both free and useful.

And for the more broad question of how you should start developing for WordPress? I’d learn this resource deeply first, I think: https://developer.www.ads-software.com/plugins/
