Hi,

I am interested in hearing the response to this question. Though my situation is different since comments are activated on my site and I have a newsletter subscription form, which means my site is storing personal data. In accordance to GDPR am I supposed to specify in my privacy notice that I use UpdraftPlus to backup all my data, including visitors personal data?

Thanks!

Thanks again Bruna.

Hum… In that case, I think I will give version 3 a try, but with Sengrid.

Though I really like the idea of letting MailPoet handle everything, Sendgrid allows me to see unsubscribes and, more importantly, the delivered percentage as well as eventual bounces, blocks & spam reports. And all for free.

At least now I have the info I need. If my email list grows, I’ll reconsider switching the sending over to MailPoet.

Thank you for your reply Bruna.

One last question, if I may. If I use the MailPoeet sending service with version 3, for free, will I have access to delivery stats like I now do with Sendgrid?

Thank you for that clarification! ??

I am closing this ticket now.

Thank you for your reply. ??

I was able to easily download to my hard drive the ‘wp-content/updraft’ directory. In the advent I needed to perform a reinstall, would it be as simple as uploading the content of this directory in it’s place and then simply performing a restaure from the UpdraftPlus Existing Backups tab?

The remote location storage obviously sounds good, but I don’t have enough storage space on my Google Drive and I’m looking, ideally, for a free solution…

Thanks,
C.

I actually just realized that I’ve already have SendGrid installed. Must have done that at the very beginning and didn’t remember…

I think my settings for the amount of emails sent per hour was too high, which might have not helped in properly distributing my newsletters.

I’ll close this topic.

Thank you.

Thanks sergio, I appreciate the info. ??

Thank you again Purb.

Your code didn’t work but you did put a tech from my theme support team on the right trac.

The solution consisted in changing the function calls is_product() to is_singular(‘product’) under LINES 19 and 31 of functions.php

I have been able to deactivate WooCommerce and WooCommerce multilingual without creating a fatal error. ??

Forums like these are really awesome! Thank you again!

Thanks for taking the time to reply purbeckpixels.

However, I’m still stumped.

Line 19 of my child theme functions.php file has nothing to do with Woocommerce. It’s important styling code for my English & French blog headers.

Here what lines 16 to 25 look like:

// Hides Header but displays Topbar
// on Single & FR Blogue page & EN Blog page.
function hide_header_single_posts() {
  if ( (is_single() && !is_product()) || is_page (649) || is_page (2177) ) { // Custom header for posts
    add_filter( 'fl_fixed_header_enabled', '__return_false' );
    add_filter( 'fl_header_enabled', '__return_false' );
    get_header();
  }
}
add_action( 'fl_body_open', 'hide_header_single_posts' );

I really, really don’t think commenting out any of these lines is a good idea. This code was all created way before I even installed Woocommerce plugin.

Any other ideas anyone??

Here’s a screen shot of the fatal error message that appears instead of my blog posts :

Thanks Rian, I’m now working on sorting these issues out with the support team of my theme.

Thank you again Andy, I’ll make sure to make that adjustment.

Hello again!

I think I have found my own solution. By creating two category of products, the “shop” page created two distinct links. I can then use those URL links wherever I want… As you pointed out in your initial response, I will end up masking the original shop page, but I don’t see a problem for the moment in doing that.

You write: as WooCommerce often points people back to the main shop page from various links this would be ill advised unless you wanted to delve into the code to make adjustments to the links

For the moment, I don’t see that happening. I’ll keep going this way and see what happens…

Hello again Andy,

Now that I’ve actually started to create a few test products to see how to set things up, I’m encountering an unforeseen problem.

From your above advice, I understand I can create a “category” link that shows up in the menu. But what if I don’t want the link to show up in the menu? What if I instead what to create a link within a page to a specific category of products?

To understand, please refer to this page on my site:

At the bottom, you have three options, for small, medium and large prints.

I want to create the ‘illusion’ of separate shops for the small & medium print options. (For the Large, I don’t want a shop)

I can use the link under “medium” to reach my main shop (which I’ve done, things are still unfinished there).

But how could I make the link under Small prints target a specific category of products? (now the link goes to another site, but I want to change that)

Thanks for your help,
Catherine
