I'm new to php and Woocommerce. I know this question has already been asked but i can't figure out how to make it work ... Right now, i have 3 different categories on my Woocommerce shop ( i'm developping using Understrap ). I've created my basic product page layout, everything works fine. Now, i'd like to create a custom layout for my products that are in my "cleaning" category.
What i did for now is add this to my functions.php child theme :
add_filter('template_include', 'cleaning_single_product_template_include', 10);
function cleaning_single_product_template_include($template)
{
if (is_product() && (has_term('cleaning', 'product_cat'))) {
$template = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/woocommerce/single-product-cleaning.php';
}
return $template;
}
Then i've created a single-product-cleaning.php file inside my woocommerce folder. For now, i've just pasted an <h1>LOREM</h1> to see if it shows up on the page, but it doesn't ..
Now in the code i've added to my functions.php, if i replace the content of my function with a simple
echo "test"; die();
It works, the "test" message appears on my cleaning product pages. But if i let the code i've written as is, then it just display the regular product page from single-product ... Any idea what i am missing here ?
EDIT : i've found this thread on stackoverflow where he seems to have found a solution (see his last comment) but i don't understand what code he moved or how he solved it ..
Finally fixed! For those having the same problem, i've just modified a little bit my functions.php function like this :
add_filter('template_include', 'cleaning_single_product_template_include', 50, 1);
function cleaning_single_product_template_include($template)
{
if (is_singular('product') && (has_term('cleaning', 'product_cat'))) {
$template = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/woocommerce/single-product-cleaning.php';
}
return $template;
}

I'm trying to get the search term within a woocommerce page to display it dynamically on the results page so the user knows what term they searched on.
ex. "Showing results for $searchTerm"
Is there a way to get the search term from the page that was used?
You can make use of the get_search_query() and is_search() functions like this:
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_main_content', 'show_search_query_on_page', 1 );
function show_search_query_on_page() {
if(is_search()) {
echo '<h2>Showing results for: '.get_search_query().'</h2>';
}
}
I got this working through shortcodes by editing the functions.php file to include:
add_shortcode('searchterm', 'get_searchterm');
function get_searchterm() {
return $_GET['ixwpss'];
}
Then I could use [searchterm] as a shortcode on the page. Unfortunately I had to "touch" the php file.
I'm trying to change the template of a specific product category page, but I can't for the life of me get it to work. I've tried taxonomy-product_cat-the-category but to no avail. I'm using wpml with the categories in 3 different languages if that makes a difference. I've tried with the slugs of each of the 3 langauges but still doesn't work. Don't understand what could be causing this.
First copy taxonomy-product_cat.php & archive-product.php from WooCommerce Plugin directory - wordpress\wp-content\plugins\woocommerce\templates to your theme - wordpress\wp-content\themes\your-theme\woocommerce.
Then make copy of archive-product.php files in your theme's woocommerce directory like archive-product-2.php, archive-product-3.php etc. Later you are going to modify these files as per your category.
Then open taxonomy-product_cat.php file. The code will look like below one.
if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
exit; // Exit if accessed directly
}
wc_get_template( 'archive-product.php' );
We need to modify the template call wc_get_template() in this code with our conditions.
First get the current category slug & then we can compare the slug. As per the slug, we will call different archive product files.
if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
exit; // Exit if accessed directly
}
// Get current category slug
global $wp_query;
$cat_slug = $wp_query->query_vars['product_cat'];
// Call template conditionally
if($cat_slug == 'accessories') {
wc_get_template( 'archive-product-2.php' );
} else {
wc_get_template( 'archive-product.php' );
}
Updates
In my experience, the best approach is avoid WooCommerce template overriding by copying in to theme files. The WooCommerce have regular updates on the templates and it is better to update templates on each time to avoid future issues. So if possible, maximum use filter hooks other than template overriding.
You can can't change the template of WP for a specific category but
For only overriding design: You can do css by using body.term-yourcategoryname at starting of each class, ID or tag name like this:
body.term-car h1 {
color: red;
font-size: 22px;
}
For enhancing Layout: or add some new feature you can use wooommerce default functions like: $term->name; in archive-product.php in your child theme.
example:
if($term->name == "car") {
// your code will goes here
}
I have developed my own wordpress theme, and learning all kinds of programming stuff, but my priority is the content, not the programming knownledge. I need to know how to remove archive date listing from wordpress?
Question 1: The google search results displayed like this: virmodrosti.com/2017/05/
I don't want any kind of date archive option, how do you disable that?
I also don't use any kind of plugin, and always like to do it on my own.
Question 2: I don't know why older entries doesn't work anymore
virmodrosti.com/zdravje/ this page works fine
virmodrosti.com/zdravje/page/2/ it redirects to 404 error page
I only choose option in wordpress to hide that annoying /category/ with dash . inside editor at permanlinks, Category base. Maybe somehow these stuff is kinda fighting with each other and doesn't work properly.
Thank you.
This is code from Digital Nomad theme I maintain:
function digitalnomad_remove_date_archives() {
//if we are on date archive page
if ( is_date() ) {
// theme sets alternatine archive page with table like list of all posts
$archive_page = get_option( 'digitalnomad_archive_page' );
if ( $archive_page ) {
// redirs to alternatine archive page if configured (good for SEO)
wp_redirect( esc_url( get_page_link( $archive_page ) ) );
die();
} else {
// otherwise error 404 is displayed
global $wp_query;
$wp_query->set_404();
}
}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'digitalnomad_remove_date_archives' );
Use the smart Archive Page Remover wordpress plugin
or visit your theme's functions.php file
then insert this code
/* Register template redirect action callback */
add_action('template_redirect','makes_remove_wp_archives');
/* Remove archive*/
function makes_remove_wp_archives(){
// if we are on category or tag or date or author archive
if(is_category()|| is_tag()||is_author()){
global $wp_query;
$wp_query->set_404();
}
}
I have an external page that reads a RSS feed for a tag. I can't change anything on the external page, so the challenge is to change the RSS feed on my side to match the requirements.
On the external page the 3 latest posts for a tag are shown, and at the end of the section (note: not after each post but after all 3 posts) there is a "View all" link. This link receives its value from the element in the feed, which is by default set to my blog homepage, e.g. http://myblog.com). For this specific tag the link should be http://myblog.com/tag/myspecialtag.
The requirement is that the "View all" link links to the tag page instead of the homepage.
My idea was to add a condition to the element to change the URL for this specific category. I tried to change the feed template as recommended here: Customizing feeds, but for some reason it doesn't change the template at all. The code I tried is the following:
remove_all_actions( 'do_feed_rss2' );
add_action( 'do_feed_rss2', 'change_feed_rss2', 10, 1 );
function change_feed_rss2( $for_comments ) {
$rss_template = get_template_directory() . '/feeds/feed-custom_rss2.php';
if( file_exists( $rss_template ) )
load_template( $rss_template );
else
do_feed_rss2( $for_comments ); // Call default function
}
Of course I created the custom feed template and stored it in the feeds directory in my theme.
As this didn't work I tried looking into filters/hooks but I couldn't find anything helpful regarding my issue. Any ideas on how to best solve this issue?
I came up with the following solution:
I created a new custom page template custom_rss-feed.php and copied the code from wp-includes/feed-rss.php into it. I assigned this template to a new page. Additionally I added a filter to get_bloginfo_rss like the following:
function alter_bloginfo_rss($value, $key) {
if ( $key === "url" &&
is_page_template("custom_rss-feed.php")
) {
return $value . "/my/custom/url";
}
return $value;
}
add_filter("get_bloginfo_rss", "alter_bloginfo_rss", 10, 2);
I am having a bit of trouble here understanding how to do the following. I have searched for weeks now but cannot seem to find what I am looking for.
I have a custom post type 'product' and want to change which template gets loaded for the single product page as well as the archive for the products. I am using the following code to load include and load templates.
add_filter('template_include', function() {
if (is_post_type_archive('product')) {
$templatefilename = 'archive-product.php';
$template = WPVS_PATH . 'templates/' . $templatefilename;
return $template;
}
if ('product' == get_post_type() ){
$templatefilename = 'single-product.php';
$template = WPVS_PATH . 'templates/' . $templatefilename;
return $template;
}
});
The problem I am having is that it replaces the current theme's template instead of just the inner part of the content and archive areas.
Here is what I want to achieve:
Create a custom post type 'product' in a plugin - DONE (Was kinda easy!)
When opening a single product only change the content part. - I can do this with the_content filter hook. Simple enough. Any other suggestions is welcome.
When I go to the archive view for the 'product' custom post type I don't want to have it load the theme's default archive (list) view but instead a grid view from my plugin which I cannot seem to get right. I only want to change the inner part of the template, not the whole page.
I have created this plugin a few weeks ago using only shortcodes which works good but want to see if I can do it without the use of shortcodes by means of creating the custom post type and changing the inner template parts of the current active theme.
Can anybody steer me into the right direction here?
If I create a theme I can do what I am looking for but I want to create this into a plugin instead without adding or making changes to the active theme. The plugin should handle what is needed.
The same issue is discussed here but what I want is to develop something that is theme independent. No changes should be made in theme files and no theme files should be copied to the plugin.
WP - Use file in plugin directory as custom Page Template?
Recently I also had the same problem. Here's how I worked it out.
template_include filter accepts a parameter which is the selected template that you want to override (this what you are missing in your code).
I don't know but sometimes the filter hook need higher priority to work like 9999. But first check if it work with default priority, if don't change it.
I assume your both archive and single product template both have include get_header() and get_footer() which can be used for default selected theme (Or if the theme has different setup, setup accordingly).
This is simplified code:
add_filter('template_include', function($default_template) {
if (is_post_type_archive('product')) {
$templatefilename = 'archive-product.php';
$template = WPVS_PATH . 'templates/' . $templatefilename;
$default_template = $template;
} else if ('product' == get_post_type() ) {
$templatefilename = 'single-product.php';
$template = WPVS_PATH . 'templates/' . $templatefilename;
$default_template = $template;
}
// Load new template also fallback if both condition fails load default
return $default_template;
}, 9999); // set priority, only if not worked with default one
The best option in this case is to provide a shortcode to the user. So they can place it on any page that they want (or that you auto generate). That way you will place your content inside their theme.
Something like this:
add_shortcode( 'slotsl-game', 'embed_game' );
/**
* Print the game
* #return false|string
*/
function embed_game(){
ob_start();
$game = get_post();
include_once SLOTSL_PLUGIN_DIR . 'templates/slotsl-single-game.php';
return ob_get_clean();
}
