I'm trying to create specific templates for both the category pages and individual product pages. It would be good to lay out various attributes on the pages according to where I would like them. However, beyond the endless 'hooks' that storefront uses... I can't find the places to modify actual code.
Does anyone know how to do this? I don't want to be modifying CSS specifically - I want to create new templates.
Thanks.
If you want to create new templates, you should override multiple files from plugins/woocommerce/templates to themes/strefront_or_child/woocommerce, this is the documentation article, check loop/ and global/ folders too.
Hope this helps a little.

i am using avada fusion theme in my wordpress site, different plugins work fine if i need to search posts and pages, but i need to search/sort/filter in a page where i have created 100+ containers/items as a list(like slides or templates).
how can i get it done?
And also what would be a good approach if my list is going to be long i.e 400+ in near future?
re: i have different graphical and text included items in a page with same templates, and i need to search, sort, filter from that list in that page.
I do not see any option to tag or id each template/containers in page which would make search/sort easy.
thank you in advance
I'm looking for a bit of help as I struggle to create a page that has a list of all of my clients' products. Currently I'm using this URL, which works great (with a caveat): http://tayloryourevent.com/?p=*
(note: on her site, both products and blogs are created as posts, but in separate categories)
As you can see, all the products show up nicely, but also included in the mix are blog posts, which I need to hide from that page.
My real problem is that I'm confused by the /?p=* and what that's doing. Since it's a page being created on the fly, I don't know where to look to get a glimpse behind the scenes.
2 questions:
Where is the /?p=* getting its theme from? Could I copy that theme and edit it to exclude the blog category?
-or-
Could I exclude the blog category with some kind of fancy URL work?
This plugin should be able to exclude blog categories: Simply Exclude
I have a Wordpress-blog with gift ideas where I write text based articles. I recently discovered Custom Post types which I believe is the solution to an feature I want to create.
What I want:
Be able to tag each custom post using the normal "Categories" and "Tags".
Create a 3x3 matrix with product images (custom posts) to be shown on top of each Category-view or Tag-view (followed by the typical article list in the category or tag).
Example:
Lets say I have a category "Gifts for mom" and tags "Pink", "Cheap"
In the category "Gifts for mom" I have 10 text articles (normal posts) discussing the difficulties of buying gifts for your mom
I create nine custom posts, each is a specific gift (e.g. A pink hairbrush). I want to place them in the Category "Gifts for mom" and tag them with "Pink".
When I view myrandomgiftblogname.com/category/gifts-for-mom I want to be able to get a view:
Gifts for mom
Product Product Product
Product Product Product
Product Product Product
Articles:
- This awesome article
- That awesome article
- Etc
I assume this is possible but don't really know where to begin. Could you point me in the right direction? Which Plugins do I need? Do I need to do any programming myself (or just plugin configuration)? Is this even possible?
The description is a bit broad, hence a bit broad answer.
Two things are needed:
1) A plugin to create the Custom Post Type.
It is considered best practice to let CPT's in Plugin territory. So you can swap designs and preserve your CPT functionality. In reality, you are asking for future problems letting this be handled by the theme.
Create your own plugin, which would contain a register_post_type and any extra configs.
Use an existent plugin, like Custom Content Type Manager.
Its Custom Fields features are quite handy as well.
Allows users to create custom content types (also known as post types) and standardized custom fields for each, including dropdowns, checkboxes, and images.
2) Learn how to use and customize WordPress Templates
http://codex.wordpress.org/Templates
Templates are the files which control how your WordPress site will be displayed on the Web. These files draw information from your WordPress MySQL database and generate the HTML code which is sent to the web browser. Through its powerful Theme system, WordPress allows you to define as few or as many Templates as you like all under one Theme. Each of these Template files can be configured for use under specific situations.
You can try the following:
Add a new Page for each category with the exact same name as the category.
In the Images menu attach to each of those pages the images you want.
In your script query for a page with a name identical to the current category, and pull all of its attachments
I'm very new to WP development. I host a website which needs a list of trails (hiking, biking, etc) and I'd like to write a WordPress plugin to do it.
Can someone please tell me if I'm taking the right approach, and if what I'm proposing is possible.
I'd like the site to end up with an auto-generated and filtered index at http://example.com/trail-guide, and the discrete trail info pages at http://example.com/trail-guide/trailname. This data would all be stored in a single database table holding info for each trail, with an admin page for adding, editing, and deleting entries from here.
Is a WP plugin the best way to go about doing this, or should I be looking at something else?
From the way you're describing, your best bet would be to Register A Custom Post Type. This can be done by adding to your existing theme's Functions.php file, or by creating a plugin.
If you don't plan on changing themes, my advice would be to just hardcode everything into your functions.php file. Otherwise, creating a plugin for this particular job would be the safest alternative.
Using this functionality in tandem with Custom Meta Boxes and Custom Taxonomies will allow you to keep everything organized within the Wordpress Framework with your own special data.
This means that these new posts can also be queried at any time through the standard Wordpress Loop or search box.
If you are uncomfortable with writing your own functions to extend your existing framework, you might want to look into some plugins like GD Custom Posts And Taxonomies Tools to manage your own.
Hope this helps.
I have a list of pages that I want to list in the sidebar of my site. I have done it before with some posts and have used tags to automatically generate the list of links that have the specific tag. Since you can not add tags to pages, I am not sure what to use to group pages together and then dynamically generate the list of pages as a select menu in the sidebar. I thought about adding a class to each of the pages, but wasn't sure how that would work exactly. Any thoughts you guys have would be great.
If you want to be able to group and sort them, I would look into creating a "Custom Taxonomy" structure. Smashing Magazine has a good article on them: http://wp.smashingmagazine.com/2012/01/04/create-custom-taxonomies-wordpress/
Wordpress itself doesn't support tagging pages likewise in posts. However you can do it by installing a plugin.
Check this link TagPages
This plugin allow you to tag your pages and you will get result like as shown in screenshot. Then you can fetch results on the basis of these tags. Hope this is what you need.
