Problem:

The customer inquired whether it is possible to create content templates using Elementor.

Solution:

We confirmed that Toolset is compatible with Elementor and that it is indeed possible to create content templates using Elementor. We provided a tutorial link with a step-by-step guide, including screenshots, to assist the customer in setting it up.

Problem:

The customer reports that the "Added to Cart" message is not displaying correctly on their product page, even though a previous similar issue had been resolved. The initial troubleshooting step of toggling the AJAX add to cart buttons did not resolve the issue.

Solution:

I identified that the issue was caused by a specific line of code in the template that interfered with the wpv-add-to-cart-message shortcode:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-body]' eq '0' )" evaluate="false"]<h2>Description</h2>[/wpv-conditional]

To fix, I went ahead and changed the conditional to use a custom function:

The line in the template was changed to:

 <div class="col-sm-8">[wpv-conditional debug="false" if="( wpv_conditional_post_has_content() eq '0' )"]<h2>Description</h2>[/wpv-conditional] </div>

I added the following check function to the theme's functions.php file:

function wpv_conditional_post_has_content($type, $object) {
    $return = 0;
    if ( $type == 'products' ) {
        if ( empty( $object->post_content ) ) {
            $return = 0;
        } else {
            $return = count($object->post_content);
        }
    }
    return $return;
}

After that I tested it and the 'Description' title is being displayed correctly and so is the added to cart message.

Problem:

The customer wants to display a custom field (Distributer) on a custom post page, but the field only shows "Booktopia/Amazon" regardless of the actual content, even if the field is blank. Other custom fields are working correctly.

Solution:

I identified that the issue was with the Content Template where the value 'Booktopia/Amazon' was added as plain text instead of a dynamic field.
I replaced the static text with the correct shortcode [types field='distributor'][/types] to dynamically display the field's content.

After the change, the proper distributor value is being displayed correctly on the custom post pages.
