WooCommerce and Divi: how to override !important CSS

I am a big fan of Elegant Themes, but a lot of CSS styles (mainly in Divi) contain “!important” in order to override WooCommerce styles when using the two in a combo. Now, the big problem is that we can’t override !important with another !important. Divi will win. But no matter whether Divi has been developed in a good or not so good way, there is something we can do. (NOTE: using !important is a horrible thing in CSS. Use at your own risk) Continue reading WooCommerce and Divi: how to override !important CSS

WooCommerce: How to Fix the “Cart is Empty” Issue

For some reason, sometimes you add products to cart but the cart page stays empty (even if you can clearly see the cart widget has products in it for example).

But don’t worry – it may just be a simple cache issue (and if you don’t know what cache is that’s no problem either) or a theme / plugin “conflict”.

The WooCommerce Cart page is extremely delicate; it displays dynamic content based on cookies and PHP sessions, is coded with PHP but also JS and Ajax, requires to be excluded from cache and is subject to problems in case of out of date software.

So, here’s your “Empty Cart” troubleshooting checklist you can follow without any technical knowledge.

I also recommend you read through the (many) comments, because many developers shared what worked for them too. Good luck!

WooCommerce: Remove Additional Information Tab @ Single Product

The “Additional Information” tab on the single product page is somewhat annoying and, honestly, quite useless.

There are 2 simple methods to “hide” it or delete it completely: a CSS and a PHP solution. In the first case, you can input the code in your style.css; in the second case use your child theme’s functions.php.

However, Always remember that PHP is better than CSS: with CSS you load the element and then hide it, while with PHP you stop the element from loading. Clearly, PHP is a better way to do it!

WooCommerce: Hide Price & Add to Cart for Logged Out Users

You may want to force users to login in order to see prices and add products to cart. That means you must hide add to cart buttons and prices on the Shop and Single Product pages when a user is logged out.

All you need is pasting the following code in your functions.php (please note: your theme may have overwritten some default WooCommerce functions, hence the code below may not work. Contact me if you need custom code). Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Disable Variable Product Price Range $$$-$$$

You may want to disable the WooCommerce variable product price range which usually looks like $100-$999 when variations have different prices (min $100 and max $999 in this case).

With this snippet you will be able to hide the highest price, and add a “From: ” prefix in front of the minimum price – variable products with a single price (i.e. all variations have the same price) will keep their original format.

Simply paste the following code in your child theme’s functions.php and enjoy!

WooCommerce: Change Number of Products Per Page

If you’re not happy with the default number of products per page (16), or if your theme overrides the default WooCommerce setting for “per_page” products and you need to change it, here’s the fix for you.

Please note that you may also need to set the number of WooCommerce product grid columns, so that you can make sure the total number of products per page is a multiple of that and you don’t leave the shop page with empty grid items.

Enjoy!
