Hey friends,

I installed the Woocommerce plugin to sell my own digital products. And right away I experienced 2 problems which I found to be very common problems for many Woocomm users. After much surfing online, I found solutions for both. Here they are.

1. The problem of blurry images in the catalog. You need to go into the Woocomm settings and your own WP settings and adjust the image sizes in both. The following video from Woocomm helped.

The video is at the bottom of the page

You also need to install the plugin: Regenerate Thumbnails. Make sure it is a version that has been tested to your theme.

2. The problem of the featured image NOT showing up on the product page. For some themes, it does show up as a default feature to click. For others (like my theme - espressionista) it did not. This was a serious problem since the catalog only showed a blank box for the product. So, here is the link that helped me.

A guy named James on that link recommends adding the following line of code.

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'post', 'page', 'movie', 'product' ) );

That's what I did and it worked

Go to your WP Appearance > Editor > Theme Functions page

BUT BE CAREFUL WITH CODES. DISASTER CAN STRIKE!!!! I COPIED THE ENTIRE PAGE TO A WORD DOC BEFORE I CHANGED ANYTHING JUST IN CASE I NEEDED TO RESTORE IT.

The featured image function should appear in the lower right of the product page.

Fixing these 2 problems is a huge breakthrough for me. I have my store up and running on my site. It's just the start and I have a lot of work to do, but I have 4 products on there. www.javaforlife.com

Just sharing what I learned tonight

Just paying back for the all the kindness and help I received here at WA.

Thanks
