 * Hi I have just added woocommerce to my custom theme and I am wondering is it 
   possible to edit the appearance of the shop and product page with custom css?
 * I would like to adjust the layout by moving the breadcrumbs under my main nav
   bar, move the sorting drop down menu position as well as customize appearance
   with my css.
 * Can anyone point me in the right direction?
 * TIA

 * I see there is an option in the general settings to Enable WooCommerce CSS styles.
   And once I deselect this I can use custom css.
 * But can anyone tell me how to reposition the breadcrumbs and the sorting drop
   down box mentioned above?
 * TIA

 * Ok so I now know that to do what I am trying to achieve I need to use hooks
    
   [http://www.woothemes.com/woocommerce-docs/codex/third-party-custom-theme-compatibility/#section-1](http://www.woothemes.com/woocommerce-docs/codex/third-party-custom-theme-compatibility/#section-1)
 * I also edited some code to help me move the breadcrumbs to were I wanted to put
   them:
 *     ```
       remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_main_content', 'woocommerce_breadcrumb', 20 );
       add_action('woocommerce_before_shop_loop', 'woocommerce_breadcrumb', 20 );
       ```
   
 * But I can’t figure out how to edit the position of the sort products by drop 
   down menu.
    I have tried:
 *     ```
       remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_products', 'woocommerce_ordering', 20 );
       remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_products', 'woocommerce_ordering', 10 );
       ```
   
 * and a few other hooks but no joy removing it

 * I found out how to fix my problem.
 * In the woocommerce folder there is a file called:
    woocommerce-hooks which has
   all the hooks tags.

 * I am stupid and can’t use my own brains!
    I need to delete catalog sorting option
   in the end of shop page (in woo-pagination) and place it before products grid.
 * I tried to use hooks – no success…
 *     ```
       remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_main_content', 'woocommerce_output_content_wrapper', 10);
       remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_main_content', 'woocommerce_output_content_wrapper_end', 10);
   
       remove_action( 'woocommerce_pagination', 'woocommerce_catalog_ordering', 20);
       add_action( 'woocommerce_pagination', 'woocommerce_catalog_ordering', 20 );
       ```
   
 * Can anybody, please-please, please help…

 * Hi pansyflower,
 * If I remember correctly you cannot remove the catalog sorting option at the end
   of the shop page without causing problems somewhere else (I’ll try find out why
   when I get home)
 * Also to place the sorting option at the beginning of the products grid I think
   you should use one of these (again I’ll have to confirm when I get home):
 * `add_action( 'woocommerce_before_main_content', 'woocommerce_catalog_ordering',
   20 );`
    Or `add_action('woocommerce_before_shop_loop', 'woocommerce_catalog_ordering',
   20 );`
 * I did come across some issues with this to, I remember the drop down appearing
   on a single products page. (May be some code could stop this from happening)
 * In the end I settled for it leaving it the way it was, but that’s not to say 
   it can’t be done.

 * Hi, Steve, thank you greatly!
 * I tried
 * `add_action( 'woocommerce_before_main_content', 'woocommerce_catalog_ordering',
   20 );`
 * and I see now the sorting almost in the correct position – can I align it to 
   the right?
 * and still I can’t delete it from the botton of the shop page…

 * To remove try:
 * remove_action( ‘woocommerce_after_main_content’, ‘woocommerce_catalog_ordering’,
   20 );
    Or remove_action(‘woocommerce_after_shop_loop’, ‘woocommerce_catalog_ordering’,
   20 );
 * (if the above fail open the woocommerce hooks file search for the catalog_ordering
   and find out were its been added, then copy the line where its been added to 
   your functions.php and change add_action to remove_action – I think)
 * You can align it by adding custom hooks I think and then apply css to the hooks,
   like in the link above. I can’t remember how I did this so Ill have to wait until
   after work and view my code and confirm.

 * You know I played and the code below worked to remove it:
 * `remove_action('woocommerce_pagination', 'woocommerce_catalog_ordering', 20 );`
 * Now I need only to align it to the right and move pagination as well to the top!
 * By the way, did you try to remove the billing information section at the checkout
   page? I am fighting with this as well and I see now I can use hooks… THANK YOU!!!
