This Ask SkyVerge question comes from Frank: Is it possible to remove the product thumbnails and the links to the product page on the cart page? By default, the WooCommerce cart page includes product images and links to product pages in your shop for each item in the cart. However, the cart template is pretty flexible, and there a couple of handy filters in it that can let us change these cart elements. First, we…
Version 1.1 of WooCommerce Memberships was released this week, which adds a few new features to make content public, display content to non-members, and improves the User Switching plugin integration. We also added a public feature voting list to our documentation, which shows the features we have on our roadmap, and allows users to vote for their favorites so we can better prioritize them. Make Content Public WooCommerce Memberships makes it super easy to restrict…
I listened to a talk recently about using WordPress to communicate with external APIs, which is something we do frequently at SkyVerge. We’ve built over 20 payment gateway integrations for WooCommerce, each of which needs to communicate with the payment processor’s API. One thing that I noticed in the talk is that setting sslverify = false when using wp_remote_get or wp_remote_post was recommended. This is a fairly common practice and has thus become recommended for…
It feels so incredible to finally launch a project that our team has been building for almost a year: WooCommerce Memberships is here! First, a Brief History We build a lot of plugins at SkyVerge, and we use even more. While we don’t have the capacity to do much client work now, we’ve had several long-standing relationships and retainers with clients, and we’ve done a lot of custom work over the past couple of years….
Today’s Ask SkyVerge question is from Harshad: The “My Account” page used to display the login and register forms side by side, but now that I switched to Storefront and updated WooCommerce they are below each other, taking up a lot of space on the page. Can the Storefront My Account page be changed? If you use WooCommerce in a default theme, like TwentyTwelve, you’ll see that the “My Account” page layout is in two…

2 years ago, Justin and I founded SkyVerge with the modest goal of taking over the world working for ourselves and building some plugins. Now, with over 65 WooCommerce extensions, 3 Shopify apps, a cross-platform abandoned cart app in the works, and an incredibly talented team of developers, designers, and writers, we couldn’t be more excited with what the future holds. While we spend some time reminiscing and celebrating (not too much though, lots of…
WooCommerce has a system in place that will allow you to override core templates within your child theme. This means that you can copy a template file, edit it, and the edited version in your theme will be loaded instead of the core version of the template. We do encourage you not to do this, as most changes can be made via hooks (filters and actions) instead, and this method is far more upgrade-safe than…
If you use Jetpack on your (self-hosted) WordPress site, you probably use the sharing buttons (sharedaddy) capabilities that Jetpack has. By default, these sharing buttons are shown at the end of your post following the content. This tutorial will show you how to move Jetpack Social Sharing buttons elsewhere in your post, such as before your content. You can also check out this overview from the Jetpack team. We’ll assume a couple of things: You…
We released updates to all extensions yesterday to ensure WooCommerce 2.3 compatibility, so you may have missed some of the features that were included in these releases. One of the major changes we made was to add automatic refund support to WooCommerce Authorize.net AIM. This means that you can now process refunds from directly within WooCommerce instead of logging into your Authorize.net account 🙂 . You don’t have to update any of your settings or…
