Hi Mohammed – so I have done as you requested and unfortunately the problem continues. I am still unable to use the tabs.

I now have the latest theme, WP, and all plugins.

I tried disabling all plugins except those required by WooCommerce.

Can you please take a look at this. Not having the tabs work is a pretty big issue.

Thanks.

Robb

Thank you Kyle. You fixed both issues!
Most excellent.

Thanks Ed – I would appreciate that as I was using my extra to handle associate product downloads (flyers, manuals, spec’s etc). And those can currently not be seen.

That would be appreciated Ed. Thanks.

Thanks Melanie for your reply. Why then do you suppose that this plugin works with woocommerce on a base WP theme and not yours (that is if the interference is woocommerce as you say)? What did you think of the comment from the plugin developer … “That’s the woocommerce_product_tabs filter. Some themes override the templates and fail to include the pre-existing WooCommerce hooks (it would be up to the theme owner to update their theme)”?

Hi Melanie – I would appreciate that. I am sure this is fixable as a number if theme developers (themes) have sorted this issue out already. Thanks.

OK – I hear what you are saying but in the end any site using this theme then is stuck with a design inconsistency whereby every (single) sidebar on the site is 33% of the width and shop category page sidebars are 25%.

Further, as I think I mentioned in another post, this makes your theme less compatible with woocommerce shortcodes – as the thumbnail images do not fit properly when a sidebar is added to a page.
Ex: http://icancanopy.com/shop/canopies/

Your theme permits the setting of a sidebar on a product page. With that set the thumb image does not fit on the related products carousel at the bottom.
Ex: http://icancanopy.com/product/playa-kit/

try my temp fix ….

I also just tried editing the Custom Fields and changed “sf_page_title” to 0 and hit field update. That succeeded to change the setting.

Thanks … rollover is now fixed.
The issue though with the woocommerce shortcode is not the width as you say but more so with the following css designation in your theme…


.woocommerce ul.products li.product figure {
box-shadow: 0 8px 6px -7px #999999;
margin-bottom: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
padding-bottom: 320px;
position: relative;
}


.. specifically the “padding-bottom: 320px;”. Although this can not be removed. The fix is to set it to the height of the category thumbs. It would be good to be able to simply remove the overflow:hidden and the padding-bottom THEN the box sizes to match the column width and is more variable for various column widths. But I guess the problem is then how to slide in or reveal you <figcaption> stuff. You would have to come up with a different way to deal with that. But if you did, your theme would be more compatible with woocommerce.

To my thinking, if you are going to remove some of the functionality of woocommerce by suggesting that people don’t use their shortcodes, then it would nice if you offered your own shortcodes that did the same thing but using code that works with your theme functionality. But I guess that is one of the things you are working on in your next theme update … which will be good to see. Thanks.

OK thanks. Look forward to the update.

I guess this helps me to understand – a bit. But it does make it harder to style the theme with extra css. I have purchased over 20 themes and most only inject a bit of last minute CSS – usually the custom css added in the theme options. So, I would ask you please consider the option of turning this off. I could for example, export the customized color scheme I originally created and add that to my child theme css. Then I have control over the CSS without having to force !important. Just a thought.

Hi Ed – I have “Default Show Page Heading” set to “On”. But I am pretty sure the purpose of the “Show Page Title” checkbox is to over ride that default setting. Right? BTW – I just tried turning the default setting to off and re-editing the home page. After de-selecting “Show Page Title” and hitting update. It comes back. BUT … I also just tried editing the Custom Fields and changed “sf_page_title” to 0 and hit field update. That succeeded to change the setting.

[kingrobb]

… fixed this issue by adding following css
#top-bar {z-index:6;}

[kingrobb]

In case you do look at this, the Title on my home page is still there but turned off with CSS

[kingrobb]

… I even have pages where I successfully was able to run off the checkbox for “Page Meta | Show Page Title” (to remove the title) but the title still shows.
