Hi Chris.

Firstly thanks for creating such a great plugin!

I was running into the same issue as other users and followed your advice on this thread.

As you instructed I downloaded the dev version and it works a breeze on my site.

Cheers.

Hi Iorro.

You’re right it has been quite fun learning this new world of WP and I do like the idea of problem solving myself and maintaining control of my website.

I will follow your advice and reactivate the plugin shortly.

I will also setup a child theme on this site (assuming I can still do this half way through developing my site).

I still have the age old problem though of that annoying message not displaying on product pages!!!

This thread doesn’t get marked as ‘solved’ until I have nailed it ??

Thanks for your help so far and long live the WP community!

Mmmm!

I think this thread has opened up a can of worms and exposed me as a bit of a self-taught rookie in the world of web development!

1) I have not used a child theme (i know this is bad!). The wootique theme that I use has its own tab in the settings section where I can paste quick pieces of custom CSS without editing core files so this is why I didn’t think it was necessary to use a child theme .

Is it too late for me to set up a child theme, considering this site is almost complete from my end?

2) The fact that you are still getting cached pages is a mystery to me as I not only deactivated the plugin, but DELETED it along with all associated files!

You mention removing/deleting cached products/pages but how can I do this if the plugin has now been removed?

I think I am a little out of my depth here and need to recruit the services of someone with a little more experience!

Does anyone fancy taking on this gig for a small fee? ??

Hi Iorro

Some more good ideas there!!

I just updated the theme and have also removed the cache plugin but still the problem persists!

Will admire anyone who can suss this one out!

there are only 4 products on the site at present so click through any of these to see a single product page…

Hi Vark.

Thanks again.

I tried what you suggested and YES…. the message displayed correctly when I ran the site through the WP 2015 theme!

But then when I switched back to the wootique theme the message initially started displaying properly but soon vanished again and then started displaying properly!

It doesn’t make any sense to me because sometimes the message displays and then sometimes it does not!

I have tried viewing the site on various different browsers and on several different devices but there seems to be no correlation between when my site decides to display/hide this very important message.

Big Sigh!!!

Any further suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

What really baffles me about this issue is the fact that SOMETIMES the message displays and then other times it does not.

Surely if it was a theme issue then it would never display at all??

Perhaps that could help someone to isolate the issue.

Hi Vark…thanks for making this clear to me…

Off the back of royho’s advice I did quickly try and load the site with a new theme but that seems to have bought a whole new set of issues!

firstly I couldn’t even reach the relevant product pages because the new theme was formatted so differently and now I have gone back to the original theme (wootique) but some of my previous customizations seem to have changed (top/bottom menu fonts for example).

I am really quite new to development and consequently don’t feel comfortable messing around with things too much.

I can follow a clear set of instructions if someone can provide a solution

sorry to be such a novice ! ??

Hi.

Thanks for the tip but it is too late in the day for me to redesign this site around a new theme!

Surely there is another way around this….

Thanks for the quick response.

I appreciate that.

I have now reset the password using the email resetter option.

The reason it was not working previously (i think) is because I was using the same admin email for another WP installation so this was confusing WP and thus the email reset link was not reaching my inbox.

I think my query is just a heads up for everyone out there that the old system of resetting your password from the wp-admin dashboard no longer seems to be available in the latest version 3.1.4.

Unless someone else knows a way to do this, it might be helpful for others with the same issue in the future.

I have had to deactivate the plugin now because it seems to be conflicting with the braintree extension for woocommerce.

Can you please confirm if there is a workaround for using this plugin for gravity forms at the same time as the braintree extension for woocommerce?

Thanks for your reply,

I found a work around by removing one pricing category.

Once the categories went from 5 to 4 it seemed to fit nice and centrally on my site.

I found 2 ways around doing this.

The easy option if you (like me) aren’t very comfortable with HTML/CSS etc is to create new FULL WIDTH pages to replace the default ‘shop pages’ from woocommerce. You can then use the woocommerce shortcodes to paste any products that you want to display on these new pages. The advantage of doing this is that you will have far more flexibility over the content displayed on your shop pages as you will be using the traditional ‘WP editor’ to add any text/media/content/products etc.

If you want to go the technical route then here is what I did…..BUT PLEASE BE WARNED!!!! I am new to this whole web development thing and I can only say that it worked for me. Always tread carefully when deleting things from your core files.

Good luck and have a great day.

1) Go to your dashboard

2) Go to ‘Plugins’ and click on the sub-category ‘editor’

3) Open the php files for the ‘woocommerce’ plugin.

4) Use search bar on right to find the file woocommerce/templates/archive-product.php

5) Delete the following snippet from the code…

(tip* before deleting this, copy and paste the entire code from this page into a seperate text file on your HD…that way you can always paste the original code back into this folder if anything goes wrong)

<?php
/**
* woocommerce_sidebar hook
*
* @hooked woocommerce_get_sidebar – 10
*/
do_action( ‘woocommerce_sidebar’ );
?>

6) Paste this new rule into your CSS style sheet

.woocommerce #main {
width:100%;
}

I’ve resolved this myself now….

I just inspected my custom CSS stylesheet and the .header width
was set too wide.

If anyone else has this issue then make sure that your header or navigation bars’ width is set inline with your main contents area width.

That should do the trick! ??

Yes I have thanks…..

I played around with some styles and came up with this….

.single-product .woocommerce_ordering {
display: none;
}

I hope this can help anyone else with the same issues.
