Is there any update on this problem from investigating Deon’s site? I know he asked for an email, but I don’t know what happened in the background via email.
BTW if anyone has a problem with descriptions not showing, Woocommerce Composites does not use descriptions. It shows short description, otherwise known as the excerpt. This was driving me mad with trial and error circles and had nothing to do with themes or plugins… poor documentation by Woocommerce themselves.

I just saw the term “excerpt” being used for the short descriptions… but the documentation still seems v poor in the WC community

Hi there,
Yes, I had already marched ahead with that. Hopefully Woo themselves sort this – as this is their plugin!
Best wishes,

Ok, I am going to look at this again tomorrow. I reverted a cloned site to the barebones storefront theme out of curiosity and same problem there. So I guess another plugin might be causing an issue. I shall have to trial and error it…
This is a very, very urgent one for us. I will forward login details to Olga’s email, because this is not my thread for private content. We have similar problems and Composite products are one of the two pieces of functionality at the heart of our business model.
FYI We have noticed that the last product option in a composite’s component actually does show the product description when the component is set to Thumbnail view, the others wrongly do not.
BTW you can configure composite components to be populated by a category of products OR specific products. I had previously noticed that selecting by categories did not work. Selecting products did, whether or not the above information was missing I don’t recall. Now the category selection appears to be working, but the Composites plugin has not been updated. But the theme has had a few updates. I mention this in case it assists with debugging, as you will know what is happening in your coding developments.
Thanks in advance, this one is a worry for us and Composites are a very mainstream plugin.
Best wishes,
R.

Hi there,
I have deactivated this plugin (I have been assuming it came with xstore) as I am trying to optimise the site now that it is crafted.
Will deactivation cause any unforeseen issues?
Is there response from the author?
Many thanks

Hi,
I just tried this and it almost worked, but looks like a wee bug. The lightbox type effect did disable successfully, but there are is a ‘remnant’ issue that will make the enduser think something is wrong.
The image itself still has an href tag around it, meaning that the cursor turns into a finger and the URL for the full size image is shown in the status bar. This shows the user that something is broken based on their experience of browser behaviour.
Is there a workaround or is this something for the release cycle?
Thanks,
R.

Hello,
I’d like to add my vote to this – having the same overall footer combination on all pages keeps the same look and feel, which is key for branding.
It can even be important legally, depending on how footers are being used.
Thanks,
R

Fabulous – thanks Olga. Makes sense – I hope to play with this in the coming days when we catch up with various dev delays at our end.

and I did some simply matching of the category id in CSS with display:none
with that other plugin, you can get some nice results 🙂
Or could I just copy that file, make changes and add the php to a new plugin folder and then activate it in wp-admin? But I guess that would create function clash confusion… (just trying to be creative!)

Ahaaa…. my bad. It’s a WP Jetpack thing. That plugin adds a Sharing page to WP Settings.
Thanks for the path to make edits. Will any changes I make be overwritten by updates?

Hi there,
Thanks for the reply. The screenshot was for product categories, which is good to know too (it was the blog categories I was wondering about).
