Hello,
I am looking for a way to search for our part number shown below. We are required to use a duplicate PARTID for our inventory due to the type of product we sell. I have created a UNIQUESKU which is the part number + an arbitrary check digit that is unique to each product listed. Since woocommerce can only use one unique sku this was the only alternative I could come up with. My issue is customers want to search our website using the published PARTID, the UNIQUESKU is only internal and does not match published information. Is there a way to add a custom field PARTID somewhere that can be searched using your search function without adding a 3rd party plug in? I would need it to produce the results as well as be able to find all instances of the PARTID in the woocommrece product database.

My other thought was to truncate the SKU display on the front end of the website to hide everything after the ” – ” [dash] since the characters after the dash are only for woocommrece product database.

Woocommerce 3.7.1
Word Press 5.2.4
WooPress 6.0.1

PARTID UNIQUESKU
40109 : 40109-6
40109 : 40109-11
40109 : 40109-16
40109 : 40109-21

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

Hello,

Thanks for using our theme.
Please provide some screenshots to help me better understand your request.
You can use Lightshot Screenshot tool https://app.prntscr.com/en/index.html and provide the link to screenshot here.
Also, provide URL of a product with such SKU on your site.

Hello, below is the screen shot of the item page showing product SKU: GT0165Y-SKU4177
The actual SKU is GT0165Y
However due to wordpress uniuque SKU requirement we have made a custom SKU to add the additional “-SKU4177” to the end of each SKU. Is there a way with CSS or any method to HIDE all characters AFTER the “-” in the SKU field on the item page and on the customer invoice?

Also there are some areas of the website where the buttons appear on hover to be RED
as shown below. I cant figure out where to change this to match our other buttons.

Hello,

1) There is no option to hide that part. You may submit an additional customization request to WPKraken team. Maybe they will be able to help you with this because our support provides assistance only with existing options, additional customization outside the scope of our support.

2) Fixed. Let me know if you found any other buttons that have an incorrect color with the default state or hover.

Regards
