In reply to: Make it a choice to only upload original size photosSadly, it didn’t do anything. I’d rather smallify the image beforehand. A clean laravel CMS install has one size by default. So that’s why I have in the title “make it a choice”, in Netherlands big images are a standard, even on mobile, 4K is not unusual. The settings should have an explanation: “bigger images load slower”, which should cover it. My website is not professional, just for hobby usage and testing. The uploads folder should be a priority in the next version, I believe. Or I could switch to another CMS, which doesn’t render those sizes.

In reply to: Idea for a Python REST API plugin to modify the contentYeah, I know, but I would like an official Python GUI through which you can push and pull data from and to your shops, just like with Github for example. This is an often-requested feature, hence my question. I also saw the post-meta data as a seperate table in mysql, where the post id and meta-data id are coupled and the posts data, which makes it tougher to register a feature-image url attribute, you should also do it via REST API, I read. Many newer e-commerce shops and blogs often have easy over 1000 products/pages, as servers become faster and capable of storing more media. I am literally checking the JSON structure of the data tables inside MYSQL, because you can also store JSON in Excel. I hope this clarifies the idea. Many plugins who do this are paid / premium and I don’t own a creditcard, here in Netherlands debit is mostly used.

In reply to: [WooCommerce Blocks] Don’t use it on professional webshopsCan you give some examples of what you were wanting to edit and unable to do so?
I have a custom design for my blocks that should also work with other post formats that have extra CSS classes and also I want to sometimes show the regular price only and not the sales prices, which I could do in advanced custom fields with a simple if() clause
Furthermore, I wanted to show the first image of the product gallery because they are not the same as the featured image, since product catalogue images are square. Nextwise, I want to have custom data attributes for my own python woocommerce crawlers. Such as data-full-image-src which grabs the full size image shown on the product page only. So you can directly crawl them, how neat would that be?
And also I mostly use full width containers which I doubt Woocommerce supports, and my grids should be both horizontally and vertically aligned using the newest bootstrap technologies. It should really be a grid, not a grid masked as masonry.
Are there specific blocks where you were expecting pagination that you could not find it?
I wished I could make a page with above Gutenberg elements and underneath the Woo blocks like the normal shop layout with pagination and unlimited products, endless scrolling should also be an option. Your plugin certainly has a promise, you could choose sliders and carousel instead of the default grid which would be nice aswell.
You mentioned that you observed the plugin is “squashed with bugs and flaws” The biggest bug is the block plugin not using the same CSS classes like “single-product” or “__loop” in that fashion, as the main Woocommerce, which actually looks acceptable (?) Is it weird, how it gets treated as a little child bèta plugin, whereas Woocommerce itself is more grown-up. At least that one kind of works.
A footnote, I can’t use Gutenberg Editor for product archive descriptions at all, but I can for product descriptions using a filter in functions.php. How is that? Please change that , many users would love it and thank you for that.
All the best ! Remember I only have good intentions for your plugin, so my criticism is there to help you guys out make yourselves better!!
