How to make images appear in WP Favourite Posts Plugin & Widget

By
Wordpress Help

Just a quick one for today. I’ve been working with the WP Favorite posts plugin and whilst it’s a fantastic plugin to quickly allow your users to build up a notebook of their favorite articles from your website or blog, it was missing the ability to include images either on the notebook page or the most Favorited widget. To make thumbnails appear, on the widget, you’ll need to first set up a new thumbnail size image in your functions.php file, I created the image size ’90×90′. Open up functions.php and add the following line: 1add_image_size( ’90×90′, 150, 150); Next up, [...]

Change the Order of the Product Tabs in Woocommerce

By
Woocommerce tabs

Another super quick solution to a really annoying problem. I’ve never liked the short vs long description supplied out of the box with Woocommerce. Honestly I’ve never had the need for it – I nearly always leave the long description blank and have all the relevant information in the short description. That then typically leaves me with two more tabs – the attributes tab (often just a bunch of information from my product variations) and the reviews tab. Depending on your product, and how well it’s been received of course, you may want to switch the user reviews tab to [...]

Custom Field Tutorials for Wordpress

This little number had been bugging me for a while. Specifically I have been creating a site for a client using the awesome Woocommerce plugin. In this case, i have made some significant changes to the “loop-shop.php” which is set up to use the page entitled “our services” in the woo commerce settings. By default, the loop-shop.php page fetched the data from the main editable field in the “our services” page, however it would not display any custom fields i had set up on that page – simply adding the custom fields to the “loop-shop.php” page in the traditional way [...]
