Hi Andresm57,

How about adding these to a separate category and hide this category from the ‘shop page’? Each product can also be hidden from the search if you want to make it more obscure. You change this in the top right under ‘Publish’
With CSS you could hide the category from the list page, or change the setting within the category section might work too.
To mark them as discontinued you could add a plugin that puts a label over the product image displaying ‘discontinued’
With the use of the standard WooCommerce shortcodes you can create a list view page of only that particular category https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/
Good Luck – hope this advice has helped

Hi Bryan,
Have you looked at using a Product Add-on https://woocommerce.com/products/product-add-ons/ plus a table rate shipping plugin to determine the cost based on price?
With the product add-on you select which categories to load this in. Going forward with making updates I think using variables will be very time consuming.
There is also an alternative to use some ‘bulk edit’ plugin.
Another option would be to create a spread sheet and upload this as an CSV or XML file to create your products. WP all Import works very well with uploading variable products with custom fields.
I hope I managed to understand your issue and these three options will give you some more ideas – good luck!

Have you contacted the hosting provider? It would be a good starting point as this could be to do with permissions or possibly you have used your quota of your web space.
Please keep in mind I am really trying to help you. This is something I would do if I had this issue.
let me know what they say.
.js files are not normally permitted in the media folder, but .pmg are ofcourse

I would say it is true to a certain extend as an empty WordPress or Vanilla site is always faster then one with two large images inside. The speed of website is much more than just shortcodes and drag and drop. There are some content plugins that have proven to be really fast and this is also due to a combination of hosting and caches.
Try and find out which gives you the best solution to your design requirements and check with the developers your concerns.
You can always install a free version and run some tests using google page speed test https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/ if it is a major concern. I believe a good website is always a balance between design, user experience and site speed.

Hi Danmhof,

Sorry for the late reply to your question. You are describing certain layout issues but unfortunately without seeing the actual site it is impossible to see what you mean.

It might help you to look for a theme that offers your solution out of the box instead of explaining the more complex way using Custom Post Types and custom styling. As you mentioned you are a novice with coding, so therefore best to use the ready made option.

I have used a theme in the past that allows you allocate page-lay-outs to certain pages or categories. Also, some themes offer a different arrangement for the header bar with logo placement, menu style and more.

The premium themes would cost a little but do offer support to answer your specific design questions.

Apologies for not helping you with this but at least you know there is a way and you are not the first one achieve this.

There is a plugin resize thumbnails https://en-gb.www.ads-software.com/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/ which creates different version sizes of the image attachment. This is based on the media settings in the settings tab. It would use the reduced size image for the list views of your website and when you open the blog post it most likely uses the bigger version.
You can resize the images again if you change your media settings. Optimizing your images will only reduce a little but resizing makes a much bigger difference.

Hopefully this suggestion will help.

Hi Corpsites,

It looks a similar issue as described in this tutorial on how to solve it. Have a look and give it a go if this is it?
https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-image-upload-issue-in-wordpress/

If you are able to login into the admin panel go to ‘Settings > general settings’ from there you can change the url for both the website and the admin panel.

If you do not have access you will need access to your mysql database, accessible from your hosting control panel. From there you could login and find the ‘options’ table. From there you look for the site address url and website address url and change it to the https version.
you could also change it using config.php please refer to this https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL for more information.

Good luck

Hi lassebo1981

When you upload a pdf to your media folder it creates a link.
(click on the file from the media library and copy the URL on the right hand side. Paste this in your page or post and possibly change the link text)

Hopefully this will help you achieve what you would like.

Hi Billysurf,

Excuses if my suggestion is too simple, but are you certain you are logged in as admin or with admin rights?
Sometimes the easiest solution can be overlooked.
Also some plugins allow the user-interface or admin panel to hide parts. Have you installed any of those?

It is a matter of eliminating the possible solutions.

Have you tried to install the same plugin that seemed to work fine? From what you describe it seems that there is a settings mis-configuration. For GA settings you might need to refer to the Google help pages or forum. Or use the Google Tag Manager support pages to help with the correct configuration.
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1008083?hl=en shows how to check it Analytics is working on the different pages.

You could css the German labels to be replaced by English labels…
Add the css code to the child theme so that it is not overridden at the next update.
If you are less comfortable with adding code you could add a plugin that allows you to customise your login screen with new labels
https://en-gb.www.ads-software.com/plugins/yith-custom-login/ for example

Hopefully with will help you in the right direction

Have you tried using the twitter developer tools to create a widget?

You might need to combine a follow button and timeline widget together with some added code to make it look like you want it.

Hi margmacd
There are plugins available that use the Google indexing to list content. You could search for one of those to test this on your site. (it would only list content that is on your website)
Here is a list with different search plugins and tips.
https://www.wpbeginner.com/showcase/12-wordpress-search-plugins-to-improve-your-site-search/
Hope this will be helpful…

Have you tried to re-install WordPress? (Go to Dashboard from the admin of your website) Is this a recent issue by an older website or a recent new installation? Did you recently change the permalink structure?
If this is not the issue then it probably is to do with the ‘rewrite’ of posts and pages.
A similar issue is discussed here https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/72766/getting-404s-on-new-pages
or here
https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-wordpress-posts-returning-404-error/
Hopefully these will point you the right way to solve it.
