    Hello,

    I recently updated the theme and I see a lot of new features, especially the new “XStore builders”.
    I see there is a possibility to use a single product builder through elementor pro or Pro elements, or products archive builder…
    I’m a little lost with all that, I was using the previous single product builder which still exists, but it’s not the same as the “single product builder” through the menu “Xstore builders”.
    My question is what do you recommend using ? your previous product builder or the new one ?

    Best regards

    Hello, @Enjin,

    Thank you for using our theme and for contacting us.

    We are pleased to inform you that we have incorporated numerous new features in the latest version of our theme, particularly the innovative “XStore builders”.

    There are now two methods available for you to create your custom layout according to your specific needs:

    1. Utilize the Xstore > Theme options > Single product builder.
    2. Employ the Xstore builders > Single product builder with Elementor.

    We hope these options will provide you with the flexibility you need to design your layout.

    Additionally, The XStore builders have been designed to allow you to create your own layout or design in accordance with your requirements, utilizing the Elementor plugin.

    Thank you for the quick answer.
    My concern is to know whether you’ll keep updating your previous Xstore single product builder, or in the future completely swtich to the Xstore builders ?

    I have another question, I tried using the new product builder, and show meta informations about the product (SKU, categories…). But I don’t see any way to show brands… unlike in your previous builder.

    Can we use woocommerce hooks on product builder (with Pro elements) ?

    Hello, @Enjin,

    Thank you for your response.

    If you are utilizing the Single Product Builder feature of XStore builders and would like to display the brands, we kindly request you to import the following template: https://prnt.sc/lz11ISTwGSTf. Please review how the brand is displayed in this template.

    In this particular instance, the brand is represented as an image. However, you have the option to display the product brand name and description using the heading element. For instance, you can use this heading:

    https://prnt.sc/4-HAq40acVZC.

    We trust this information will be of assistance to you.

    Thank you Tony for the answer, it’s perfect and answers my needs.
    I have one last question (I hope) : in the previous archive template, there was a possibility on smartphones to display the sidebar “off-canvas”, with a filter icon on the left (on click, the sidebar was displayed).
    is this still possible with the new builder, and if yes, how can I do that ? I see no such option yet…

    Best regards

    Sorry to bother you again, I still have some issues… I’m using the new builder for archive and so far I love it, very customizable.
    I use the same template of product archive for shop page, brands and product archives to fit my client’s needs :

    1- I need to have a banner image for the shop page, product category pages (archive woocommerce) and brand pages. For that I created an ACF field named “Bandeau de page”. I used the Xstore builder for archive to display it like this : https://prnt.sc/h8kOU6seat0y. In the conditions of the builder, I added the template for “All product archives, Marques (brands) and Shop page”.
    In the end, it only works for brands and product archives, not shop page.

    2- For the shop page, I need to have a description too on the banner, so I created an acf text field just for the shop page (page “boutique”). I tried adding a text field on the builder with the acf displayed just on top for the archive description, but it’s not displayed on shop page. https://prnt.sc/GwRw57-VetHe

    3- Last but not least, I’m using a repeater acf field to display some kind of FAQ on those templates, and also on some other pages. The code in my functions.php works fine for “normal” pages like homepage or for single products. But on archive pages, it displays the faq of the product and not of the archive page… And I can’t get my code to work, when it did on the old archive templates…

    I really hope you can help me with that, because now I designed with the new builder and it would be complicated to go back to the “old way”… It’s quite a big update you made here, I hope I’m not asking too much help 🙂 And we’d reuse that for all our new e-commerce websites. I sent you some access if you can please have a look…

    Best regards !

    Hello,

    I realized it was too complicated to do with the builder and went back to the default archive template, it’s better for my needs… and easier to use with woocommerce actions and filters 🙂

    How to create custom best selling products as a data source in X store theme

    Hello, Siddharth,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    To create a custom “Best Selling Products” data source in the XStore theme, you can follow these steps:

    1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
    2. Navigate to XStore > Theme Options > WooCommerce > Product Archive or Product Elements (depending on your version).
    3. Use the “Products” element (via WPBakery or Elementor, depending on your page builder) to display products.
    4. In the product element settings, choose the “Best Selling” option under the product type or sorting criteria.
    5. If you would like to create a custom selection, you can use a product category or tag to group your desired best sellers and then display that group using the “Products” element.
    6. Alternatively, you can use a shortcode like:
    [products limit="8" columns="4" orderby="popularity"]
    This will display the top 8 best-selling products based on WooCommerce sales data.

    If you need to create a more advanced or dynamic data source, we recommend using a custom query via a child theme or a plugin that allows custom product queries.

    We hope this information is helpful.

    Hello, Siddharth,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    Regarding the issue you mentioned with the https://heavennuts.in/shop page displaying inconsistently—sometimes showing all elements and other times only single items—this behavior may be caused by a few different factors, such as caching, plugin conflicts, or incorrect shop page settings.

    To help resolve this, please try the following steps:

    1. Clear your site and browser cache to ensure you are viewing the most recent version of the page.
    2. Check your WooCommerce settings under WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Display to ensure the shop page is correctly configured.
    3. Temporarily disable any third-party plugins to see if one of them is causing a conflict.
    4. Make sure your theme and all plugins are updated to their latest versions.

    If the issue persists after trying the above steps, we kindly request that you record a video demonstrating the issue and the steps leading to it. This will help us better understand and replicate the problem on our end.
    Upload the video on a filesharing service, for example – https://fex.net/ , and provide us with the URL.
