When it comes to eCommerce platforms, WooCommerce is one of the most popular choices for small businesses and entrepreneurs. It’s a WordPress plugin that turns your WordPress site into an online store, and it’s perfect for those who are already using WordPress for their website.
WooCommerce is free to use and has a lot of features, making it a great option for those who are looking to set up an online store without spending a lot of money.
However, as with anything, there can be problems with WooCommerce from time to time. In this article, we’re going to take a look at some of the most common WooCommerce issues and how to fix them.
1. Products Not Showing Up in Your Shop
If you’ve added products to your WooCommerce store but they’re not showing up in your shop page, there are a few things you can check.
First, make sure that the products you’ve added are published. If they’re not, they won’t show up in your shop.
To do this, go to Products > All Products and look for the products in question. If they have a red “Draft” tag next to them, that means they haven’t been published yet and you’ll need to do that before they’ll show up in your shop.
If your products are published but still not showing up in your shop, it could be because of your theme. Some themes only display certain types of products in the shop page, so if you’ve added products that aren’t compatible with your theme, they won’t show up. For example, if you have a theme that only displays physical products and you try to add a digital product, it won’t show up in your shop.
To fix this issue, you can either change the settings in your theme so that it displays all types of products, or you can switch to a different theme that does support the type of product you’re trying to add.
2. Incorrect Prices Showing Up
If you notice that the prices of your products are incorrect on your WooCommerce store, there are a few things that could be causing the problem.
First, check the settings in WooCommerce > Settings > General. There is an option here called “Currency Options” where you can set the currency symbol and format. If these are set incorrectly, it could cause the prices on your store to be displayed incorrectly.
Another thing that could cause incorrect prices to be displayed is if you have any plugins installed that modify prices. For example, if you have a plugin that offers discounts or coupons, it could be changing the price of your products without you realizing it.
To fix this issue, you can try deactivating all of your plugins and then checking to see if the prices on your store are still incorrect. If they aren’t, then one of your plugins is likely causing the problem and you can try reactivating them one at a time until you find the culprit.
How Do I Fix WooCommerce?
As we saw from looking at two common problems above, there are a few different things that can cause issues with WooCommerce.
If you’re having trouble with WooCommerce, first check to see if any recent updates were made to WordPress or any of your plugins.
If updates were made recently and caused problems with WooCommerce on your site, then downgrading may solve the problem.
You can also try deactivating all plugins and then reactivating them one at a time until you find which one is causing the issue.
Finally, if none of these solutions work, then contact support for help from someone who knows more about fixing WooCommerce issues.
