Setting Woocommerce "shop page" erased my pagebuilder work

Beaver Builder

So I set the woocommerce shop page to a page i’d been working on for days with bb plugin.

To my dismay, this setting erased my page. I deactivared woocommerce, but for some strange reason, instead of bringing back the page I had, the builder is now showing my home page in place of my product page.

Any insight here? thank you

Hey Josh,

Do you mind sharing temp admin access to the site so we can take a better look? You can post it here using the private reply option below.

thanks ben, i deactivated and reactivated woocommerce and for reasons unknown to me, it worked once woocommerce was reactivated, but not deactivated…

Ah, it must have been caching! Anyway, glad everything’s working now. Enjoy BB! :slight_smile:

Thanks Ben,

that brings me to the first question: how do I get BB to work with the Woocommerce “Shop Page” without deleting all my bb content?

Is there a way to override whatever template they are using in order to use the page builder?

Hi Josh,

Just to add to what Ben has mentioned:

The way you did it initially is the correct method; that is, in WC > Settings > Products > Display > Shop Page > select the page you made with BB.

To reproduce the WC supplied ‘Shop’ page, simply add the Woocommerce module, setting ‘Display’ to `Multiple Products’ and ‘Product Source’ to ‘Product IDs’ and leave the ‘Product IDs’ empty. Doing it this way will display all your products and will be automatically updated when you add/remove products.

As Ben said, the issue you had initially must have been related to caching as the way you did it is how I have done three sites with BB and WC :slight_smile:

Cheers!

Hi Lyle thanks for the input. So I want to use ONLY the content I’ve already created with BB as the shop page. I don’t want Woocommerce to override this, but it seems to do so as soon as I select that BB page as the official “shop page”

Are you saying there is a way to avoid this? Apologies for my confusion

*i.e. no automatic products, I have a pricing table similar to http://forum.wpbeaverbuilder.com/pricing/ and am only using the woocommerce add to cart button shortcode on that page

Sorry for the confusion Josh … I ‘get’ it now :slight_smile:

Then simply do not set an ‘official’ Shop page in WC. If there is one set there already, just click on the ‘x’ so that ‘Select a page …’ is showing there.

Also, I forgot to mention, check to make sure that your WC Permalinks are set to something OTHER than ‘Default’.
