Help testing the WooCommerce overrides plugin


Hey Chris,

I tried to install your plugin to my local WP dev site, but it threw a fatal error, so it couldn't be installed. Is there something I could change, so it does install ?

I tried installing it after I had already installed WooCommerce, by the way.

Thanks,

Yuna M.


Hi Yuna,

Can you enable error reporting in your wp-config.php (located in your site root), then let me know what error is displayed. That will help me pinpoint whats going wrong.

To enable error reporting, set the define('WP_DEBUG', false); option to true.

Cheers, Chris


Hey Chris,

Yes, I enabled the error reporting, which showed a 'fatal error', and it couldn't install the plugin. It turned out - I had declared the WooCommerce support in my child theme's functions.php.

So that was my bad.

After I removed those lines in my functions.php, I was able to install the plugin, but I still get these 2 lines of warning :

Notice: Constant BEANS_API_PATH already defined in G:\xampp\htdocs\wp-451-1066\wp-content\themes\tm-beans\lib\init.php on line 26

Notice: Constant BEANS_API_URL already defined in G:\xampp\htdocs\wp-451-1066\wp-content\themes\tm-beans\lib\init.php on line 39

Not sure if this changes whether the plugin works.

Hope this helps πŸ™‚

Yuna M.


Also, I see that the elements in the WooCommerce content now have the data markup id-s . Which is encouraging, since WC is notoriously tricky to deal with, as far as the layout is concerned.

I will also post these findings into another thread I started on the Beans Support Forum, as Integrating WooCommerce into Beans, since it refers to a wider topic than this thread we're on.

WooCommerce is quite an unruly beast πŸ™‚ . It would be very rewarding to get it under some control, though.

Cheers,

Yuna


Hey guys,

I think it would be good to add the layout support mentionned in this reply in the Woo plugin too.

If I may, I would like to add something which isn't mentionned and maybe unclear on the github project. At the moment the plugin is still under development and should not be used for production websites.

I am glad to see that users are starting to contribute to this project too πŸ™‚

Happy coding,



Hey Chris,

I've installed the plugin on my local and got some errors after activating it.

I've posted a new issue at github https://github.com/ThemeButler/woocommerce-overrides-for-beans/issues/1 and provided my own recommendations on how to fix them.

On the frontend, one thing I've noticed is that there are now two breadcrumbs in all WC pages http://prntscr.com/bnhxil. I'm still navigating through the other WC pages though, and I'll let you know if I find more errors.

Also, I think the plugin is lacking the checks if WooCommerce is installed, and a way to deactivate itself.

Hope this helps! πŸ˜€

Hi Junix,

Thanks for the feedback! I have another update planned for next week and I'll make sure I get this one resolved. Please continue to share any issues you come across and I'll do my best to get them resolved asap!

Cheers, Chris
