Creating Custom Product Archives in Elementor: Step-by-Step Guide

In a recent Business Bloomer Club discussion, WooCommerce experts brainstormed on building a custom product archive in Elementor for a page showcasing selected products, such as “On Sale” items or products that start with a specific phrase like “Hello.”

Though Elementor offers powerful customization options, it lacks native capabilities to filter archives with precise conditions, pushing members to explore creative workarounds and plugins to achieve desired results.

Resolving WooCommerce Login Errors with Elementor and Yoast: A Quick Fix

In a recent Business Bloomer Club Slack thread, a user shared a frustrating issue they faced while managing their WooCommerce account page built with Elementor Pro and Yoast SEO.

Typically, the WooCommerce account page allows customers to log in or register, displaying appropriate messages for failed login attempts. However, with this combination of plugins, users trying to log in saw no error messages if login failed.

This lack of feedback left users confused about why they couldn’t access their accounts, leading to unnecessary support requests and customer frustration. The cause of this issue is tied to compatibility challenges between WooCommerce, Elementor Pro, and Yoast, which interfere with error message visibility.

After thorough research, a solution emerged: using a custom shortcode to display login error messages on the WooCommerce account page, effectively restoring this essential functionality.
