I am coding some permalinks rewrite for WooCommerce awesome plugin.
Everything is well packed in a plugin and work well... except for one thing.
WooCommerce use get_term_link() to display HTML link in default template. A lot of custom templates use it too. If I want to display the good link on my website, I must change one line of code in woocommerce plugin. This is dirty, since basic user would not do it. Since I want to list it on Wordpress plugin repertory, I would like some help here...
What I need to do :
Open woocommerce.php and replace line 767 :
OLD
$product_category_slug = empty( $permalinks['category_base'] ) ? _x( 'product-category', 'slug', 'woocommerce' ) : $permalinks['category_base'];
NEW
$product_category_slug = '';
Very easy to do by editing the file, but it is dirty. It is non user friendly, and it depends a lot of woocommerce next version... So my question here: how can I do it from my own plugin, without asking people to open their woocommerce plugin with Notepad++... Is there any way ?
I hope you understand my need and could provide me with an answer :)
I already did same thing in Past.
Please Don't Modify WooCommerce Core files, Because it will be gone in your next upgrade.
Use this Custom Permlink Plugin, You will get Better Options there,

I am making my first steps coding. I made some courses on Internet, and now I started to make a Wordpress theme to continue learning from the practice.
I find that there is a lot of Plugins that can help me to achieve the goals that I want, and I also found a plugin that makes almost everything that I want.
I started to modify the source code of that plugin so it could fits in my design scheme. Now I don't know if it is a good idea.
I didn't find a way to make a "child plugin" so at this moment I don't know if continue editing the source of this plugin, (that means that I would never update my plugin because I would lose all the modifications) or simply make everything by my own that would take me a lot more of time.
Do you have some suggestion?
You should take a look into world of hooks and filters.
This is nice place to learn from. Here is list of WP hooks where you can hook your code.
And Woocommerce hook example how to cusom validate field.
First part: woocommerce_checkout_process is place where to hook code and my_custom_checkout_field_process is name of your function.
/**
* Process the checkout
*/
add_action('woocommerce_checkout_process', 'my_custom_checkout_field_process');
function my_custom_checkout_field_process() {
// Check if set, if its not set add an error.
if ( ! $_POST['my_field_name'] )
wc_add_notice( __( 'Please enter something into this new shiny field.' ), 'error' );
}
Some plugins have template files, that you can put into child theme.
But sadly not all plugins are well customizable.
On my locally hosted site is the woocommerce pagination not working properly.
When I use http://localhost/sample-post/ the second page is a wrong one. I'm landing on an attachment page instead of the second product page.
When using http://localhost/?p=123 it works ok.
Anyone an idea?
Is it because I'm working locally and will it not be on a remote server? I've read something about that. Need confirmation.
EDIT
Went worse.....
I have to translate the site in different languages using WPML. When using the default permalinks WPML complains. When using another structure (see above) and in WPML the setting for a different folder for each language I got pages with no result (except for a message from woocommerce that no products were found.
EDIT 2, February 18th, 2015
I start to wonder if it is even possible to set the WooCommerce shop page as the Front page. The support team of WooCommerce is puzzled as well and are wondering too if it is possible. I hope someone has experience with it or an example of a site on which it works.
Please, can anyone help me out here... I'm struggling now for a long time and I'm not able to solve this myself.
your permalinks settings need adjusting. in wp-admin go to settings>permalinks>common settings, and set "per post." check your product permalink base as well.
Please use this function for correct woocommerce pagination. please use this function inside the function.php
add_filter( 'woocommerce_pagination_args', 'rocket_woo_pagination' );
function rocket_woo_pagination( $args ) {
$args['prev_text'] = '<i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i>';
$args['next_text'] = '<i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i>';
return $args;
}
I was wondering if someone could help me out. I am developing a theme that uses woocommerce as the ecommerce solution. I know that there are predefined shortcodes that you can use but i was wondering if there was a way to actually implement woocommerce items in my php code as opposed to using shortcodes.
Thanks,
Try this:
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/125286/60175
<?php echo do_shortcode('[product_page id="31"]'); ?>
And at the Shortcodes doc, I see
To find the Product ID, go to the Product > Edit screen and look in the URL for the postid= as shown below.
http://docs.woothemes.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/
Of course this still uses shortcodes (pretty slick), but in your PHP. The Wordpress framework must be available in your PHP page, which I think you do by including wp-load.php at the beginning.
I am developing a WordPress theme, i have downloaded and installed the "contact form 7" plugin. Now when i send this theme to my client and they install/activate the theme, i would like the "contact form 7" plugin to be included.
I haven't got access to their wp-admin and i can't expect them to manually install the plugins. So to make it easier for them, i'd like to package the plugins with the theme. Then they install and everything works correctly.
How do i do this or is there a better way e.g. recommend installing a plugin?
You will want to use some variant of the following:
function my_activate_theme() {
$plugins = array(
"plugin_name_1",
"plugin_name_2",
"etc..."
);
foreach ($plugins as $plugin) {
$path = '/path/to/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/{$plugin}.php';
activate_plugin($path);
}
}
add_action('switch_theme', 'my_activate_themes');
You will have to fiddle around with my code, as I don't have access to a wordpress install at the moment to test on, but basically the idea is that you throw this into your functions.php file. It registers the hook for switching theme and on theme switch, loops through the specified plugins and activates them.
I hope this helps, if not, please give me more information and I will attempt to provide further guidance. Good luck!
If you are currently developing theme, you'd rather use tgm activation code than including plugins into your theme.
Please review this Wordpress Theme.
This theme use tgm activation code to install "Visual Composer","Layerslider","Revslider","Quickshop" plugins.
It's much easier to customize and has lots of features. Also easy to learn code tips.

I am working in worpress front page.
I want to add a plugin to the page at a specific location manually but adding the code to the page myself.
I basically want to include a plugin in a certain page on a certain location. So I'm create a div...
<div id="plugin-holder">
**Plugin-will-appear-here-with-this-code**
</div>
Don't anyone know how this is done please?
Thanks
If you're wanting a plugin to appear somewhere, you'll be looking for "shortcode" functionality.
This is actually surprisingly easy to code, check out the examples in the Codex under Shortcode API - ie:
function bartag_func( $atts ) {
// ... do more things here ...
return "text to replace shortcode";
}
add_shortcode( 'bartag', 'bartag_func' );
Once you've called these functions you can use [bartag] in code and it will run your function and replace the shortcode with the generated text your function returns.
If you're adding shortcode functionality to your site, it generally makes most sense to code a really simple plugin and put it in that. The reason why this works best is that, over time, it's really easy to forget and upgrade a theme by mistake (or even change to a new theme) and thus break your site by losing your custom code in your former functions.php. Surprisingly, this is pretty easy to achieve and only requires some specially formatted comments at the top of your plugin file and a little common sense in coding - there are many tutorials and "how to"s around!
Here's a useful shortcode tutorial: http://www.reallyeffective.co.uk/archives/2009/06/22/how-to-code-your-own-wordpress-shortcode-plugin-tutorial-part-1/
You should add the relevant plugin code to functions.php.
I suspect you'll want to use some conditional tags, like is_home() to pinpoint your location. But maybe not, depending on what you are trying to do,
Also, if you're trying to to insert from a pre-existing plug-in, make sure you remove the register_activation_hook or activate_pluginname action.
If your plugin supports a sidebar widget you can simply "widgitize" the div tag that you wish to insert the plugin into.. Google the term and you are gonna find many resources.
