Sounds like you’re all set here then.
Have a fantastic day!

I’m just going to suggest that you move away from a regex solution unless you have a very solid understanding of regular expressions.

I found another thread here: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/291018/permalinks-for-woocommerce-categories-and-subcategories

and I have tested that locally. straight copy/paste of that and permalink settings like this:

Result:

Kind regards,

Howdy Tamer,

I would just like to point out that the woocommerce_form_field is a pluggable function so you don’t need to rename it and you can use it in either your theme’s functions.php file or another plugin just so long as the file that contains the function loads before WooCommerce loads.

So far as requesting that the default behavior be changed, there are a couple of places that you could open a feature request:

1. The WooCommerce ideas board here: https://ideas.woocommerce.com/forums/133476-woocommerce
2. The WooCommerce github issue tracker here: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues – if you were to open an issue there for consideration it would help your cause if you have data to back up why you are requesting this type of change. Given that the function in question is pluggable I do not believe it would even be considered since you can change the way the function works for your own WooCommerce instance but any changes would have an effect on all people using WooCommerce so it is very unlikely to be changed in WooCommerce without mountains of justification.

Kind regards,

I am baffled at what they are trying to achieve…

What could be the reason somebody would do this?

In my experience, I have encountered many merchants (especially newer merchants) who have not built their own understanding of what an order status means. I have spoken with merchants who have fulfilled orders because they exist with no regard for the order status or payment status. My assumption is that what they are trying to achieve is to get free merchandise.

Seems like a waste of time to everybody.

Another assumption on my part, but in all likelihood, this is an automated script and I would further assume that it has paid off or they are counting on it paying off so I’m not so sure that it is a waste of time on their part.

If my assumption is correct, I think a solid course of action would be to add a bot check captcha at checkout. This may prove useful for that purpose: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/no-captcha-recaptcha-for-woocommerce/

Kind regards,

I did a DNS lookup on that I.P. address and it looks like it is a web crawler of some sort. My guess is that this is an artifact of the previously mentioned minification problem but this web crawler still has this URL indexed so still tries to access it.

Kind regards,

Hi Laura,

The system status report indicates that you have Sequential Order Numbers Pro installed on your site (though it is quite outdated). If that was purchased through WooCommerce.com AND the subscription for that product is up-to-date you would be entitled to premium support. If that is the case, I would urge you to open a support request here: https://woocommerce.com/my-account/create-a-ticket/? – make sure to select WooCommerce and ‘General WooCommerce Query’

You would need to be logged in to the WooCommerce.com account that made the purchase of Sequential Order Numbers Pro in order to have those options available to you.

To expedite the process, please include the following:

1. The URL to this thread
2. Please create an Administrator user account for the email address [email protected] so that we can take a look. Please see full instructions on how to create a new user and password here. There is no need to send us the password, we can reset it ourselves via the lost password functionality and please either delete the user or change it to another role when we are finished helping.

If the subscription for that premium extension is not current then the next best thing I can think of would be to have you examine the error logs. There may be useful information in the WooCommerce fatal error log which can be found by going to WooCommerce -> Status -> Logs and selecting and viewing any log files whose name begins with ‘fatal’ for clues as to what is causing this behavior. If there is no useful information there, then you may need to find the actual server PHP error logs and you may need your hosts help in locating those.

Kind regards,

Howdy ??

What you describe does not seem to be reproducible. I added that embed code to a product description then, as a guest, purchased the product and completed the checkout process and this did not have any effect at all on the product description and the code remained.

The more likely explanation for this behavior is that somebody who is not an administrator user (i.e. a user with the role of ‘Shop Manager’) has updated the product and the iframe has been stripped out due to a permissions check when the content is saved. Only administrators can add iframes.

There really is no need to wrap that in an iframe though since WordPress will parse youtube urls and automatically embed the video so all you really need to do is past the url to the youtube video and not bother with the iframe.

Kind regards,

I can’t possibly know how the example you provided has been configured but in my testing I have found one way to possibly achieve this.

1) Set the add to cart behavior to “Redirect to the cart page after successful addition” – that setting can be found in WooCommerce -> Settings -> Products

2) Set the cart page to be the checkout page under WooCommerce -> Settings -> Advanced, e.g:

WooCommerce has a built-in importer and you can enter a path to the file under advanced options of that importer. There is some documentation on that here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/product-csv-importer-exporter/

If that won’t work, it seems that perhaps the WP All Import WooCommerce addon can do this but you will want to check their documentation or perhaps contact their support for a conclusive answer on that.

Kind regards,

Howdy ??

WooCommerce isn’t well-suited to this at all and to achieve it would require a great deal of customization, so much so that it would probably make more sense to just build something from scratch. You could certainly have a look at the WooCommerce code as an example of how to send requests to PayPal.

Kind regards,

Howdy ??

Design decisions are made by the design team for WooCommerce and the best place to ask why these types of decisions are made would be the WooCommerce github repository here: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/

So far as overriding the HTML structure of how items are output, you can use template overrides to do that. There is some documentation on that here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/template-structure/

Any products that are in a draft status would be under drafts:

Another possibility is that some of the products that were imported were product variations. Variations can be found under their parent product and are not listed separately.

Howdy ??

What “manipulations” were made? If you reverse those manipulations does that resolve the problem?

That warning is generated if the home url is not set to use https or if the permalink to the shop page is not https. This can be corrected in most cases by ensuring that the Site Address under Settings -> General is configured to use https. That won’t correct this in 100% of cases, however due to various hosting configurations but it is safe to dismiss the notice since you have ensured that your site does have a secure connection.

Here’s how Amazon handles it:

And, USPS using WooCommerce Services works as expected with Guam as the country:

That said if you would like to take this up with the WooCommerce developers to have Guam added as a U.S. state, you should post that on the issue tracker here: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues
