Shop Permalink

[melaniethomas]

Hello, having trouble changing the shop permalink. I want my shop base to be a page “Artists.” When I change it in Woocommerce (Shop Base Page ==> Artists) and Permalinks (Shop Base ==> http://aaalavo.wpengine.com/shop/sample-product/) when I click on a product, I get a “Page Not Found”. When I return it to the name of the Shop Page to Artists, the same thing happens.

But if I leave the shop Page the Base Page for everything, it works.

Hi,

So you want instead of example.com/shop/products you want example.com/artists/products ?

Let me know, what you got.

Thanks,
laranz.

Hey Laranz,

I’m not getting the Permalinks to work. Not with plugins turned off. Everything is up to date. Pagespeed is extreme slow (under 60), checked the forum for hours, none of the given works. Also checked the server, but there seems nothing weird going on there. Could you take a peak?? Without the permlinks there’s no caching possible and without caching this site is just to slow for me. Site location: schalx.nl

Kind regards, Brian

Hi Brian,

The server response time is 1.8, that cause it all. Talk with you host.

About permalinks, what you try to achieve?

Thanks,
laranz.

Hey Laranz,

Thx for your reaction. I’ve been looking into what you said and I agree. Yes there seems to be latancy on the server. Even though, I’m wondering where it’s coming from and I’ve done some more test. It seems to me, that the server isn’t the biggest problem.: For example;
————-
This is a site of mine that gets a nice page speed rating: http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/bsQLfk/http://www.nijsingh.nl
__
Tests from Redbot/pagerank and checkhost here:

——————————–

And now the webshop with the bad page speed rating:
http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/djow98/http://www.schalx.nl
__
Tests from Redbot/pagerank and checkhost here:

As you can see, the JavaScript in the webshop is huge. Also making it very slow. So next to the fact that these scripts should be cleaned up, I “NEED” the permalinks, so I can deliver a prettier URL and, more important, Cache/ gzip the site. This is not working at all at the moment.

Point 2.
Also I have fullt translated the theme and woocommerc to dutch. I did it with the Codestyling Localization plugin,as suggested on this forum. In Codestyling Localization I get this ‘compatibility error’:

<strong>Author is using load_textdomain function instead of load_plugin_textdomain some filters and actions wont work.</strong>

And it seems that none of the translated files are getting used. What can this be?

Kind Regards, brian

Hi,

1. If you see the speed test results here http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/cd6ul1/http://www.schalx.nl

and then see this http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/cJFXSs/http://schalx.nl

the first test, it takes most of the time from transfer from http://www.schalx.nl to http://schalx.nl (from www to without www) so that may cause the speed difference. So the redirect makes much time from www to without www.

after fixing this redirection, you use increase the loading spped by some Cache plugin, the load speed will increase a lot.

2. You want to translate the woocommerce or the theme? If theme means you can follow this guide. http://support.swiftideas.net/knowledgebase/how-to-translate-the-theme/

if you follow this instruction http://docs.woothemes.com/document/woocommerce-localization/ in the woo to translate theme means, there itself they said ignore that error. See here http://docs.woothemes.com/document/woocommerce-localization/#section-4

Let me know, what you got.

Thanks,
laranz.

hey man,

1. I agree, talking to my host about it, why this works as it does…
but what about the Javascripts?

The problem is I can’t use the permalinks, cause they don’t work and so I can’t use a cache plugin and I tried a bunch.

2. I took exactly those steps, I translated everything and everything is green (.mo / .po) But 1 don’t see them everywhere could i be because i have a dutch WordPress?

Thanx a lot!

Hi,

1. Give it a read here, http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks maybe the file permission to .htaccess is locked and it didn’t save the settings from Settings -> Permalinks.

2. You mean you translate those from English to Dutch, and it still outputs English text? not the Dutch one you translated?

Let me know, what you got.

Thanks,
laranz.

Hey Larantz,

1.Ik design en code 6 WP sites in a month, never had a problem like this with the perms. It’s not the permissions, when I remove the .htacces and let WP write it’s own, it makes no difference. I only get a completely white unstyled, 404 on all the pages (Error occurred: 404 – not found) except home.

2. yes that’s what i mean.

Thnx, brian

Hi,

1. Sorry mate, I think that the link will help you a bit, not aware of you already know that. What you try to achieve with the permalinks? You didn’t say anything about this.
2. Pass me the WP Login details, I will try to find out whats going on. (in a private reply)

Thanks,
laranz.

HI,

I saved the permalinks, it didn’t give any error while on dashboard, but still error on front end.

Now paste the thing what you got in .htaccess (in a private reply)

Let me know, what you got.

Thanks,
laranz.

I had already removed th htaccess….
I’t just the basic’s in there;
Ther’s no cache plugin active.. it’s just not working.
Also the localisation/ langfile is not doing anything.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

You see what I mean know.

Hi,

You should not delete that file, bring it back and read this http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Fixing_.htaccess_Generation_Issues , and talk this about to your host, they will help you according to this permalinks issues..

Thanks,
laranz.

Hi Laranz,
I never deleted the file, I cleared the info ‘in the .htaccess file’, and let you/WP write it with activating the permalinks. So that, (message before this one) is the only info in it. I check it and that’s how a WP file looks, with permalinks activated.

Like i said I made A LOT, of these shops and websites and never had any problem with the translations, permalinks and speed. There is a problem in the template, no doubt.

I am looking at the htaccess problem now, but really need an answer that will help me, why this shop isn’t working with the translations and speed problems.
This is taking very long. I hope you can imagine my frustration. My host is looking at the http to www rewrite latency, but that’s not the only problem with the speed, it’s also the scripts in there.

Do you have anything that can help buddy?
Regards, Brian
