Product is repeating on next page automatically in "magento 1.9" - collections

I'm supporting a magento 1.9 store and I encountered a problem, when listing products in categories, the process seems to be done randomly. For example if I access a category of different computers the products appear in different order, the problem is that when I move the pagination to the next page, some products are repeated from the previous pages. How can I resolve this?

I need 2 separate purchase buttons on product page ----> one for simple and one for variations

I am totally stumped in figuring this out and I think I am doing too many extra things in order to fix a simple issue. (I hope)
I am an artist, and I am selling prints and am also offering the original piece for sale on my website. I am trying to figure out how, on the single product page, to add a SEPARATE button that allows the customer to purchase the original piece. I tried adding it as a variable but it is not user friendly and other selections disappear if customers want to go back and select other print options. I do not want the option to purchase the original piece mixed in as a variable. I want it totally separate.
I have created drop down pages for prints and originals on my main site menu but it is messing up when the base ‘shop’ page is clicked because doubles pop up for each product- one is presented as a range in price (the prints) and the other is what the original costs. It is confusing and looks terrible. On top of that, when I try to upload/add new art pieces to either the ‘prints’ or ‘original work’ categories, they don’t show up on either page, they only show up on the ‘base’ shop page.
Is there ANY way to simplify this into removing the ‘prints’ and ‘original works’ subcategories and only have my base ‘shop’ page to display each product, BUT adding a button for the option to ‘purchase original’ along with ‘purchase prints’ on the actual single product page? I have been looking for answers for weeks and haven’t found anything.
Please help!! Thank you so much in advance! I have no clue what I am doing!!!
I have tried adding the 'original' piece into the variations menu and it didn't work correctly. I created subcategories for 'originals' and 'prints' but that is making my base shop page display double products, and when I upload new products and put them in their correct category, they dont go onto those pages, they stay on the base page.
I just want a 'Purchase Original' <---- simple product and a 'Purchase Prints'<----- variable product with size/material options.

Woocommerce products not being displayed

I'm using Woocommerce Woodmart theme for an online shop, we have a lot of different products but despite correct settings and ERP software some items are not displayed at all. Mostly its the case when I open the shop and it says 20 Items are being displayed but in fact only 16 I see on the product page and they are cutted off as well like this
The same problem occurs when I say 23 Items should be displayed but actually it shows less and cuts off the items again. When I choose category not all items are being displayed despite the fact that those can be found on search. Where can I find respective file for woocommerce responsible for showing items and how can I eventually fix the issue? I tried to deactivate some plugins but it didnt help out.

WooSquare Syncing & Duplicate SKUs

We are experiencing issues with products displayed in Square POS Library after syncing our WooCommerce website to Square using the WooSquare plugin. Note that we have 2 locations, one location we are auto-syncing between Square and Woocommerce and the other brick and mortar location we are not syncing. We added a -1 to all of the SKUs for the products of the unsynced location to prevent duplicates. We have made updates in WooCommerce to our Variable Products and have updated Attributes on our products in WooCommerce but changes are not being properly synced to the Square POS. We are also experiencing Duplicate Products. On some of our Variable Products, we cannot read the variations at the POS and cannot select correct variations to ring up the right variations of the products.
Could the duplicate product issue come from the fact that we need to add SKUs to the parent of the variable product? We only have SKUs assigned to the variables.
We noticed here https://apiexperts.io/documentation/faq/synchronize-global-attribute-square-woocommerce-variable-products-auto-sync/ it said Note: Make sure before you sync Global attribute from Square to WooCommerce, Add Global attribute in WooCommerce otherwise it will consider as a custom attribute. Also Note: If you have more than 500 products then don’t choose Auto sync hourly. We noticed this after the fact. Note we have around 800 products.
Why can we not sync hourly if we have over 500 products? We changed all products custom attributes to Global attributes? How do we get Square to change the custom attributes to Global attributes or how do we get these corrections to reflect on the square side? Regarding the last question, we think that this issue can be resolved by simply pressing the “Synchronize Woo to Square” Button in WooSquare, but when I press it the dialog box does not fully load even after waiting 5 minutes.
Can anyone provide any insight on how I can resolve these issues?

Custom post type categories + permalinks

Together with my friend we've approached a weird issue. He's got a portfolio divided into few pillars: highlights/commercial/portraits etc. as a photographer often he makes a sessions which covers few of those areas. That's why on his website he can have POST1 assigned to categories: highlights/commercial/potraits..
so in each page which shows specific category same post1 might be present. And its ok. Issues are following:
when enter e.g.commercial category page this postA is visible but it's permalink might be: mydomain.com/portraits/posts1 -> why is that? I thought it should show same category as page one.
when I'm viewing post1 none of the menu is not highlighted as a current one. And its weird because if im looking on a post from portraits category, and my menu includes all categories, then one of them should be marked as current.
I've seen that on a site that had multiple categories assigned to single posts before too. It appears that the "oldest" category will appear in the permalink, even if you visit from a different category's page. This is the category that was created first, no matter which order they're added to the post. (Removing and adding the same category has no effect on the order.)
If you have 3 categories assigned though, any one of them should still send the visitor to the same post, so it shouldn't cause issues with 404s.
I think tags are intended to be used instead of categories, when you need multiple labels on a single post, though the site I worked on used multiples of both categories and tags on each post.

Multiple products to share the same stock/sku?

I have a WooCommerce web shop that offers interchangeable sandals.
These straps are compatible with multiple heels (categories) and so I need to show them in different places on my site with different product images, but as they are essentially the same physical item they need to be registered on the same SKU so they can share stock amount.
Does anybody have an idea for solving this problem?
If we can't do multiple products on the same SKU.
Mabe a product image that is path determined so it is only the product image that changes depending on which category the item is opened under.
