Problem: I would like to create a custom Content Template for single Products using Toolset WooCommerce Blocks, but I cannot select a WooCommerce Blocks template in the WooCommerce Blocks settings. I only see WooCommerce Views template.
Solution: WooCommerce Views and WooCommerce Blocks are the same thing, the names are used interchangeably. Select the WooCommerce Views template.
Problem:
The user's homepage template has lost its design after updating Toolset plugins
Solution:
It turns out to be an issue with the caching plugin which was enqueuing the Toolset Javascript code too late. The Toolset Javascript code is needed to apply the content template's block styles.
Problem: What is the difference between Views and WP Archives?
Solution:
The main difference between Views and WP Archives is that a View can be placed in any arbitrary location on your site. It can be placed in a post, or in a Page, or in a template, or in an archive, etc. WP Archives cannot be placed in arbitrary locations, they are assigned to specific archive URLs that are designated automatically by WordPress. By default, WordPress creates archive URLs that include lists of posts. Archives are generated and displayed by WordPress automatically for post types, taxonomy terms, author archives, post archives by year/month/date, etc. WordPress automatically displays those archives for you at a standardized URL.
A Toolset WordPress Archive must be displayed at a URL designated by WordPress for displaying an archive.
There are a few technical differences between WP Archives and Views as well. These two differences are probably the most important:
- WP Archives are filtered automatically depending on the type of archive. For example, a taxonomy WP Archive for a custom taxonomy term "book" will be filtered by the term "book" automatically, you do not need to add such a taxonomy term filter to the WP Archive. All the posts displayed in that archive will have the term "book" applied. However, if you create a View of the same post type and place it inside the term WP Archive, the View results will not be automatically filtered by the "book" term. All posts would be displayed in that View, and you would have to add that term filter manually to only show posts with the term "book" in the View results.
- Distance filters are not currently available for WP Archives. Distance filters only work in Views that display posts of some type
