Hi,

I created WooCommerce shop archive, which was working, the url is:
hidden link

The show archive is similar in layout as other archives, e.g.: hidden link

After that I set up layout for Pages (Layouts being used as templates for post types), and I noticed that the shop archive doesn't work any longer. Instead, a page with one product is shown. When I turn off the layout for Pages, the shop archive displays nothing... The single product pages works fine, e.g. hidden link

Hi Piotr,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

I suspect that is because of a compatibility issue with the latest version of Woocommerce and our woocommerce views plugin.

Could you try the previous version here and let me know if the issue still remains .
hidden link

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

I downgraded the WooCommerce to the 3.3.2 version locally via WP Rollback plugin. But the issue remains.

I can provide you with the Duplicator copy of my local site should you need it.

Hi Piotr,

Thanks yes please provide the duplicator package.

The private fields will be enabled for this.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Piotr,

Thank you for the duplicator.

I've identified the issue. Its because of the Layouts for pages assigned to the offers page. What you need to do is to go to the backend and edit the offers page and set the layout for the page to none and then update the page.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

I turned off the Layout for pages on the WooCommerce archive page, and:
1. on my live website (where I haven't downgraded WooCommerce) it didn't help, nothing except the header is shown: hidden link (even the admin top bar is not visible)
2. on my local website (with WooCommerce downgraded) it didn't help either, and I get the following error after this change:
Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function Toolset_Compatibility_Theme_generatepress::remove_title(), 1 passed in xxx\wp-includes\class-wp-hook.php on line 286 and exactly 2 expected in xxx\wp-content\plugins\layouts\vendor\toolset\toolset-theme-settings\compatibility-modules\themes\wpddl.layouts-generate-press-theme.class.php:105 Stack trace: #0 xxx\wp-includes\class-wp-hook.php(286): Toolset_Compatibility_Theme_generatepress->remove_title('Offer') #1 xxx\wp-includes\plugin.php(203): WP_Hook->apply_filters('Offer', Array) #2 xxx\wp-content\plugins\wp-views\embedded\inc\wpv-shortcodes.php(2557): apply_filters('the_title', 'Offer') #3 xxx\wp-includes\shortcodes.php(319): wpv_shortcode_wpv_post_title(Array, '', 'wpv-post-title') #4 [internal function]: do_shortcode_tag(Array) #5 xxx\wp-includes\shortcodes.php(197): preg_replace_callback( in xxx\wp-content\plugins\layouts\vendor\toolset\toolset-theme-settings\compatibility-modules\themes\wpddl.layouts-generate-press-theme.class.php on line 105

Then I enabled Title in the Disable Elements of the layout Theme Options and it fixed the issue... (although the actual WooCommerce archive title comes from a layout row; the disable/enable option for the Title in the layout Theme Options doesn't hide/show this archive title).

I also noticed that when I enable Content Title for some CTP or Pages, and then disable it again, the Content Title is still there, e.g.: hidden link, hidden link (these pages have Content Title disabled in the Theme Options and a layout row displaying post title). I only could restore desired behavior that by creating new layout.

Hi Piotr,

Could you update my user account to admin once more so that I can check this as it works fine on the duplicator package.

Thanks,
Shane

Sure Shane, done. Login details available in our earlier correspondence.

Hi Piotr,

I took a look at your shop page and it seems to be displaying fine
hidden link

Is there something i'm missing ?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Shane

There's problem with displaying titles, as I mentioned earlier, the Theme Option > Disable Elements > Content Title doesn't seem to work for individual pages. E.g. take a look on the Layout for Pages layout > Disable Elements > Content Title and see, e.g. this page: hidden link

The page hidden link doesn't display the title too although the Disable Elements > Title is enabled, but I know that WooCommerce archive page title is some special case (so I use layout row to display the title there).

This probably would need separate ticket, but I continue it here as it resulted from my actions related to this topic.

Hi Piotr,

We can actually workaround this by adding the Title element to your Layouts.

Add a visual editor to your layout and then add this to it.

<h1 class='col-sm-12 page-title'>[wpv-post-title]</h1>

This should add the offers page title back. I'm not seeing this issue in the duplicator on my end as the title displays fine.

For the other post title you can hide it using this.

.entry-header{
display:none;
}

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane

Sure, I do it this way.
I just wanted to highlight some issues between Toolset and GeneratePress theme, which still remain.

Thank you!
