Hi Jamie,

Thank you for your answer.

Well, I understand your point on not deleting orders, but our policy is to not keep orders & products forever. Not to mention that we also have a legal obligation in this sense (we’re in Europe, so we are bound by the GDPR – data protection regulation).

Nevertheless, we are very mindful on keeping our platform and database clean, tidy and fast and thus we really look forward to the clean up code.

We also have other plugins that fill up the database so we try to keep it as clean as possible. So far WC Vendors is the only one for us that fills up unnecessary space.

We’re considering to purchase WC Vendors PRO. Does the PRO version have the same inconveniences?

Thanks,
Mikey

Ok, so I’ve made further tests. It seems that nothing gets removed. Information also remains in wp_woocommerce_order_items and wp_woocommerce_order_itemmeta.

Can’t you add something to the plugin in order for these to get deleted permanently once the products/orders get deleted permanently?

I personally don’t keep products and orders for a very long time, once they are out of stock and orders completed (my vendors sell unique items, just like on eBay). Which means that the database will become huge in time.

And also, the Vendor Order information (a lot of lines) related to that specific deleted order have remained in wp_postmeta.

One more question: where is all the emails-related info saved in the database? I cannot find the corresponding table name.

I made some further testings: only opening mails on my Windows 10 Mail App (desktop) doesn’t work.

For other mail apps (mobile or official Gmail or Ymail on desktop) it works.

However, I have a feature suggestion for you. It’s something that I saw in another similar plugin: The ability to re-send an e-mail from the tracking log table.

It would be awesome if you’d consider adding this.

Thanks.

Hi,

Dunno, both seem ok. But maybe manually (with an “Are you sure?” pop-up ?? ) would be nicer.

Also, I haven’t tested this yet but, if I delete a product, does the msrp still remain in postmeta for that specific deleted product? If yes, then you should also try to add removal of meta upon deletion of product. Or at least a button in settings, something like “Remove database records of deleted products”?

Personally, I run a marketplace and I constantly add new unique products and delete some after a certain time has passed since they were sold. Thus removal of meta upon deletion of product would be quite necessary in my case, for the best database performance.

Thank you.

Hi,

I’ve followed your steps, no issue.

Thanks, I’ll further investigate to see if it’s related to my theme.

Now, how do I remove the Redux demo? (i.e. the Sample Options tab and all related?)

Thank you.

Later edit: Just deactivate and reactivate, right?

That wouldn’t solve my issue here.

I use the standard WC Categories widget for the shop page. It is simple and good as it is and a must for Customers when they go to Shop.

Now, if I were to add the WC Vendors Pro Store Categories widget, since you hook into the standard product-archive template, then the Vendor will see in his store both the WC Categories widget and the WC Vendors Pro Store Categories widget, wouldn’t he?

Hi,

Thank you for your answer.

Well, WC Vendors basically creates the Vendor Store URL which simply is the actual general shop page (i.e. having the customized look given by the theme) but displaying only the respective vendor’s own products.

Therefore, it makes sense to me to have nothing to do with the theme. The theme gives me a customized look for the Shop Page, in general. It couldn’t expect that I might want to show a different shop page to a user based on its “Vendor” role. Instead, I could easily expect that WC Vendors will allow me to show a different “View Own Store”.

So, either my logic is somewhere wrong, or I didn’t quite understand your answer.

By the way, I would be fine with having the widget filters sidebar on the View Store page, if it wasn’t for the WooCommerce’s standard Categories widget which shows all categories instead of only the ones belonging to the respective vendor. This makes the filter sidebar useless and that’s why I wanted to remove it completely.
But maybe you could have a look into fixing it for the WC Categories widget.

Hi,

just wanted to let you know that I’ve submitted a ticket yesterday.

Thanks.

Hi,

I didn’t find anything in the debug log, since the issue hasn’t occurred again.

It appears that it only hit me once, deleting (making blank) all pictures uploaded during November 2018. I have no idea why that happened.

So I did all the work again, re-uploaded the images and re-assigned them to their respective placements.

Hope I don’t see this issue again. I am more careful now when requesting optimization.

So far, so good.

Thanks.

Not ok. All images for 6-7 of my products are completely gone.

Imean, not exactly gone, but blank.

Later edit: all deleted pics have been uploaded in November 2018.

Why did this happen and how do I prevent future issues like this?

Got it. Thank you!

Um…there’s one tiny issue.

The WP generated sized pics are all three. But the original one is only .jpg and .webp. Where’s the .bk?

Example:

picture300x400.bk.jpg
picture300x400.jpg
picture300x400.webp

BUT the original one is only:

picture.jpg and
picture.webp

the picture.bk.jpg is nowhere to be found in uploads folder.

Yep, it worked within minutes. No reset needed.

I must say that I am quite satisfied :D. Since Lossy is too poor in terms of visual quality for me, I enabled Losslessly and, frankly, I wasn’t expecting much difference in size reduction (since my pics are already Lossless optimized). But there was. And the webp version is crazy (massive reduction with barely any difference in quality).

Thanks for your help, @hailite.
