MAKE WOO YOUR OWN

 Start with _s and get Woo support built in

WOO PAGES
 Checkout, Cart and My Account will use
theme templates. These pages replace
the_content() with their own.
 Shop, Single product and Archive/taxonomy
pages use their own Woo templates
 These can be copied/edited and
customized a bit, but will need updating
every time Woo updates the originals.
 These files need to be copied to your
theme’s woocommerce folder and then
edited. Must match directory structure.

on all orders with a subtotal of $100 or more.</p>', 'vet');?>
<a class="button wc-backward" href="<?php echo esc_url( apply_filters(
'woocommerce_return_to_shop_redirect', wc_get_page_permalink( 'shop' ) ) ); ?>">
<?php _e( 'Return to shop', 'woocommerce' ) ?>
</a>
</div>

FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT
 Out of the box sorting is terrible
 No sub-category with products and then another sub-
category
 All Woo product pages are generated by their
archive-product.php template file
 You can add text/img to top of Shop page, but not
much else
 What happens when you get a custom design?
BeckyDavisDesign.com @beckyddesign

8.
CUSTOM SHOP PAGE
 Create a custom template
 Add custom fields
 Add product shortcodes
[products limit="4" columns="4"
category="featured"]
[product_categories
number="12" parent="63"]
(In template file, wrap these in an echo)
<?php echo do_shortcode
('[product_categories number="12"
parent="63"]');?>

9.
SHOP PAGE RE-DIRECT
 Create a new page for the template
 Re-direct all ‘shop’ links to this page
function wc_empty_cart_redirect_url() {
return ( home_url( '/' ).'shop');
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_return_to_shop_redirect',
'wc_empty_cart_redirect_url’ );
 Do not set this as Shop page in Woo
 Re-name original shop page

FILTERING WITH FACETS
 FacetWP plugin
 Setup facet
 Add shortcode to sidebar
[facetwp facet="birdfood_sub_cat"]
BeckyDavisDesign.com @beckyddesign

11.
 Create facet template in plugin
 Add template to archive-product.php
<!-- BDD add custom facet sidebar -->
<?php if (is_product_category()) {
echo get_sidebar('store');
echo "<div class='facetwp-template store'>";
}
?>
<!-- BDD add div to differentiate between shop and product pages -->
<?php if (is_shop()){
echo "<div class='shop'>";
}
?>
