Hi there

I want to use the woothemes plugin for additional product variation images.
http://www.woothemes.com/products/woocommerce-additional-variation-images/

It allows me to link pictures to product variations … this plugin works with the wordpress standard theme twenty ***** well. Problem seems to be the Product Slider on the single product page… this is the message i received from the woothemes support:

“What happens is that many premium themes replaces the product image by a slider using a custom template. And by doing this many remove what we call “hooks” (that allow us to hook features at specific locations). If those hooks are removed then some plugins can’t work, but that’s a theme issue as it’s the theme that is breaking the regular workflow.”

SO this plugin only works with your theme if the customer dont click first on any product picture on the single product page… my question is do you know what “hooks” the support from woothemes is talking about? ANd if yes do you jhave a solution for this?

Or if there is no solution, how do i use the standrad woocommerce product picture viewer for the single product page?

I hope this post make sense to you?!

thanks

Hello,

If you want to add images for variable products it also can be done with default Woocommerce settings. Please refer to their documentation: http://docs.woothemes.com/document/product-variations/ (paragraph “Add variations”).

Thank you.

Eva Kemp.

yes i know but the main advantage of this plugin is when the customer change for example the color the picture will change in the same moment to the selected color… this plugin links each picture to an variation. you know what i mean?

as far as i know, woocommerce cant to this on his own…

Good Evening.

my problem is that when creating a new product the variations for the simple product doesn’t allow the drop down menu for the variations. Also the tabs work for the simple product but not for the variable product when creating a new product. The variations is also being jumbled, as well as the tabs do not work. Photos also for some created variable product doesn’t load up in the single product page.

Another issue when customizing the widgets from the theme menu, certain woo options doesn’t not show on the website once changed.

Please help thank you.

Hello @UrbnDesignz,

Do you select variable product and not simple product when add variations?
Please specify what widgets aren’t working and provide us with wp-admin panel credentials in Private Content.

Thank you.

Hello @slidebird,

Please ask the plugin developer what hooks need to be used and we’ll try to implement them into our theme.

Thank you.

Hello Eva and thank you for getting back to me. Your Royal theme where you can add products a few parts just seem to be a bit buggy. As i mentioned earlier the the simple selection does not show the drop down menu for different attributes; and the variable selection tab have no link to them when there pressed.

I am still fairly new to word press, could you explain the admin credentials. Would i create you as a new user ? and if so with what email address.

Thank you once again.

Hey Urbn

Just create a new user. For example username: “8theme” and password: “whatever” and use your own email adress and then provide eva with the login details (use the private content section for this)

Dont forget to delete the user after your problems are fixed…

Ok i received an update from the plugin developer… it looks like this plugin will never work with an product slider…

is there a way to use the your single product site without the product slider? lets say just with the standard woocommerce template?

Hello,

Our single product page uses Woocommerce template.
Please clarify what exactly you want to achieve.

Thank you.

my plugin does not work with your product slider! so i have to use another solution… as far as i know woocommerce does use no product slider on single product pages! so is there a possibility to get rid of the product slider and use the woocommerce standard option to show the different product images?

Hello,

The way to remove the slider is to remove gallery images from a single product.

thats not a solutin, of course!!! Because than i have no product pictures at all!

SO i just want so show for example 8 Product pictures on one Product site so i can sell different images of one product… but without an image slider!!! Cause your slider doesnt work with the woothemes porudct variation plugin… so there has to be a way to just show the different pictures without an slider… just like in the standard themes of wordpress (22,23,24)… in the standard themes the plugin works great…

hope we can solve this i really wanna use your theme!

Hello,

To remove slider on a single product page you can add this code into custom.css file:
```
.single-product-page .flex-direction-nav .flex-prev, .flex-direction-nav .flex-next {
   display: none;
}
```

Eva Kemp.

Thats not really helping… this just removes the slider via css… but i have to get rid of the hooks the slider creates … is there no way to just use the single product page in the same style of one of the standard themes of wordpress?

Hi Sidebird,

Thank you for your reply. We already use that plugin for color swatches. Unfortunately that is not a solution for us, as we need multiple images per product variations.

Nevertheless, thank you for your reply!

Kind regards,
Joost
