Disqus and WooCommerce review compatibility issue - wordpress

I am trying to use Woocommerce plugin and Disqus plugin together on my WordPress blog.
As I can see from other posts on internet, lot of users such as me are facing the issue that - Disqus disables reviews on product page created by Woocommerce.
As Disqus disables WordPress comments which in turn are used by Woocommerce for product review - now there is no way (as far as I could know) to show review form on Woocommerce.
Can anyone suggest a fix for this?
I have already tried the following:
Open Disqus plugin directly.
Go to line number 150 in disqus.php
notice the conditions which says for which posts types Disqus should not render comments.
add - if ( is_product() ) { return false; }
This will stop showing Disqus comment box from product pages created by Woocommerce and it will show usual review form. However, on submitting this - you will receive an error saying WP comments have been disabled.
Can anyone help me here?

I solved this by adding this code to my functions.php file:
add_action('the_post', 'sb_remove_woocommerce_disqus', 10, 2 );
remove_action('pre_comment_on_post', 'dsq_pre_comment_on_post');
function sb_remove_woocommerce_disqus( $post, $query ) {
global $post, $wp_query;
if ($query->is_main_query() && $post->post_type == 'product') {
remove_filter('comments_template', 'dsq_comments_template');
}
}

My problem was if I used Disqus plugin, it replaced my WordPress comment system with Disqus. Thus, disabling reviews on Woocommerce pages.
So instead using Disqus plugin, I simply used its universal code and added to my single.php file, before <?php comments_template(); ?> to be precise.
This seems to work.

Endpoints not working on WooCommerce checkout page

I developing a custom theme. I have an issue on checkout page. When I click on 'Place order' button the URL of checkout page changing from http://localhost/sitename/checkout to look like http://localhost/sitename/checkout/order-received/390/?key=wc_order_DvIkeeaIUoNFI if payment-method is 'Cash on delivery' or http://localhost/sitename/checkout/order-pay/391/?key=wc_order_2TbWibkoOZcxz&order=391 if I choose Internet acquiring payment-method.
But on that pages displayed content of checkout page. I think that endpoints don't work.
Here is what I did to fix that issue:
Checked endpoints in WooCommerce -> Settings -> Advanced
Created new checkout page and deleted old
Checked Chrome DevTools Console for JS errors
Turned off all plugins except for WooCommerce. Issue still exists.
Checked it on another test-site with Storefront theme. Everything works.
Checked all default Woocommerce hooks in my custom checkout templates. There are available.
Create web.configfile in site's directory with code which provides on https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-endpoints-2-1/
Trying to redirect with this code:
<?php
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'woo_custom_redirect_after_purchase' );
function woo_custom_redirect_after_purchase() {
global $wp;
if ( is_checkout() && !empty( $wp->query_vars['order-received'] ) ) {
wp_redirect( home_url('/thank-you') );
exit;
}
if ( is_checkout() && !empty( $wp->query_vars['order-pay'] ) ) {
wp_redirect( 'https://secure.wayforpay.com/pay' );
exit;
}
}
?>
As for me it's bad solution. Because if payment-method is 'Cash on delivery' on thank you page it is not possible to get order data, and if method is 'Internet acquiring' I need to get and transfer order data to acquiring system, but I have a plugin which should do it without my participation. And plugin working on another test-site.
This issue is very popular among junior Wordpress-developers, but there is few information about solving this problem.
I think that endpoints works incorrect, but I don't know how to fix it.
I will be very grateful if you share your own experience in solving the problem or tell me what to look for.
Updated
In addition I compared requests and responds in Chrome->DevTools->Network between site with Storefront theme and my site. They are the same, but on my site the redirect is not happening.
I fixed it.
Main issue consist in that my woocommerce doesn't do shortcodes from Console->Pages, so I activated checkout template via page-checkout.php where I get template part form-checkout.php (get_template_part( 'woocommerce/checkout/form-checkout' );).
To fix a bug I replaced this string with echo do_shortcode(['woocommerce_checkout']);.
Very simple solution that I spent almost 3 days searching for, but even better I learned how wordpress works

Why are my Woocommerce permalinks conflicting with main website pages?

Was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.
My current Woocommerce Permalink settings are as follows:
SHOP
www.mywebsite.com/shop
SHOP WITH SUB CATEGORY
www.mywebsite.com/seasons/winter
Unfortunately, the above SHOP WITH SUB CATEGORY link also works without the product category - i.e. www.mywebsite.com/winter - for some reason.
Which is annoying as I also have a main page in my website called Winter. (i.e. mywebsite.com/winter).
I have tried various versions of the COMMON, OPTIONAL and PRODUCT permalinks, but no matter what I type, www.mywebsite.com/winter always points to the Woocommerce Shop page and not the normal website page.
Any ideas?
Huge thank you in advance :)

What happens when you use this? This code stops WordPress from guessing where to go.
function no_redirect_guess_404_permalink( $header ){
global $wp_query;
if( is_404() )
unset( $wp_query->query_vars['name'] );
return $header;
}
add_filter( 'status_header', 'no_redirect_guess_404_permalink' );

How to show WooCommerce Categories on 'shop' page instead of products?

I have seen this question and answer. That does not work.
Setup
I am running:
WordPress 5.4.1
WooCommerce 4.1.1
I have a custom theme that overrides some of the WooCommerce templates by placing my own templates in: themes/my_theme/woocommerce/template-name.php
I have established that the shop page (homepage) uses the template archive-product.php. I have copied the this from plugins/woocommerce/templates/archive-product.php into my theme and made some minor HTML changes which work perfectly. There are no functional changes in my theme's copy, just some HTML.
The problem
I want the homepage to only show the store categories, as thumbnails. There is an option to set the shop page to show categories instead of products:
Appearance > Customize > WooCommerce > Catalogue
Shop page display has been set to Show Categories
However the shop homepage seems to ignore this setting entirely, and it still shows the products. It seems surprising that WooCommerce's own template does not honour this setting!
How do I find this setting in the template and then show the categories (as thumbnails) on the shop homepage?
Is there an equivalent to woocommerce_product_loop() for looping categories?
As a side note, the Storefront theme does honour the setting but Storefront does not have the template archive-product.php. Storefront seems to be highly abstracted and after much debugging of it / trying to take it apart I have so far not worked out which template file it is using for the shop page.
My theme is already in production and I just want to make an update so that the homepage shows the categories instead of going directly into the products list.
I found a workable solution. The WooCommerce default templates don't support the setting to show categories on the Shop page.
However using a shortcode with do_shortcode(), and a condition this can be achieved as follows:
if (is_shop()) {
echo do_shortcode('[product_categories hide_empty="0"]');
} else {
woocommerce_product_loop_start();
if ( wc_get_loop_prop( 'total' ) ) {
while ( have_posts() ) {
the_post();
/**
* Hook: woocommerce_shop_loop.
*/
do_action( 'woocommerce_shop_loop' );
wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'product' );
}
}
woocommerce_product_loop_end();
}
Still:
I would like to know how to pick up the 'show categories' customisation setting shown in the question, so my theme responds to that.
Is there a better way than using do_shortcode(), this feels like a bit of a hack

How to replace woocommerce editor by classic post editor?

I want to replace the woocommerce editor by classic editor ( as post ).
I tried to install some editor plugin such as TinyMCE but it still not work as I want.
Thanks for your help!
You can disable block editor for any post type with use_block_editor_for_post_type filter hook.
add_filter ('use_block_editor_for_post_type', 'so57234401_use_block_editor', 10, 2 );
function so57234401_use_block_editor( $use_block_editor, $post_type )
{
if ( 'product' != $post_type )
return $use_block_editor;
return false;
}
I use Classic Editor for all my projects. It works for posts, pages, custom post types and products. Also works well with must plugins.
It's a pain to have to install it on every installation but it is the best solution I have found to overwriting Gutenberg.
nmr answer is brilliant! In fact it is the most simplistic solution I have seen in a long time. I just tested it and it works like a charm.

Wordpress plugin shortscodes in other plugins?

I'm developing a plugin that creates custom wordpress pages, however I ran into a problem when trying to get shortcodes from other plugins to integrate into my plugin, well more like I couldn't find any info on it.
For example if someone uses my custom page builder and adds a short code [gallery] that is associated with an enabled plugin, I want the shortcode to do it's thing.
Could anyone point me in the right direction for this?
Try wordpress
http://wordpress.org/plugins/synved-shortcodes/
while this plugin let's you integrate shortcodes on every wordpress page , I suppose that you issue is with wordpress functions.php file where you can have a look at , with this plugin installed !
You can check if a shortcode exist before printing it with the function shortcode_exists() (https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/shortcode_exists)
Example:
<?php
if ( shortcode_exists( 'gallery' ) ) {
// The [gallery] short code exists.
}
?>
Then, if it exist and you want to print that shortcode with PHP code you should use do_shortcode() function (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/)
Example:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[gallery]); ?>
Always use in WordPress's in-built
the_content
hook to print your custom page content.
WordPress by default process all shortcodes before outputting any stuff from this hook.
More info can be found here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_content
