WooCommerce: Change Product Permalinks @ Shop / Loop Pages

A BloomerArmada fan asked me a very interesting question: how can I link each product in the shop page to its own custom landing page as opposed to the default permalink?

Of course this applies when you don’t want to use the default single product page for all or some products. Clearly, you could set up a 301 redirect from the single product page to the landing page – that will help for SEO as well. But if this is temporary, or you need to still give access to the single product page later on, then a redirect is no good.

So, here’s how you can override the default permalink.

WooCommerce: Remove, Rename, Add “Sorting” Options @ Shop

We’ve seen in the past how to completely remove the “Default Sorting” dropdown that shows in the WooCommerce Shop, Category and Product Archive pages.

Sometimes, however, you might just need to remove one of the default options, rename a sorting option accordingly to your needs or even add a brand new sorting method. As usual, a few lines of PHP are sufficient to achieve anything, thanks to WooCommerce hooks and filters.

WooCommerce: Display % Discount @ Shop Page

Default WooCommerce shows a “Sale” badge if the item is on sale – but what about showing the exact sale percentage instead?

I implemented this for one of my freelance clients so here you go with the easy-peasy solution. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Display Height, Length, Width @ Shop Page

Another interesting snippet that could come very handy. How do we show the product dimensions (height, width, length) in the shop / category / tag / loop pages? This could be a handy trick for shops that calculate shipping rates based on volume, or when the volume is a vital piece of data customers need to know before proceeding further. Either way, enjoy!

WooCommerce: Remove or Rename SALE! Badge

Here’s yet another easy WooCommerce PHP snippet if you wish to completely remove / hide or translate / rename the SALE! badge on the homepage, shop page, category pages and single product pages.

Once again, with a few lines of code (and specifically, the “woocommerce_sale_flash” filter) you can achieve anything you want. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Show “Sold Out” @ Shop Page

Here’s another simple snippet that can easily help user experience and make sure a “sold out” badge shows on each out of stock product in the category & shop pages.

Not all themes allow this so you can use the snippet below to make it happen!

WooCommerce: Exclude Category from ‘product_categories’ Shortcode

Sometimes solutions are very simple, and you don’t need rocket science to fix your issue!

A client of mine needed to hide a category from the Product Categories Shortcode ([product_categories]); in fact, there is no parameter that allows you to “exclude” a given product category such as “uncategorized” or whatever category you wish.

A rare issue, but once again a quick fix! Here’s how you do it.

WooCommerce: How to Remove the “Default Sorting” Dropdown

If the WooCommerce product sorting functionality (“Default Sorting” dropdown) is a waste of space or you don’t need that select box at all, you may want to remove it.

No matter if you prefer custom code or a simple plugin – hiding the product sorting dropdown is a piece of cake. Enjoy!
