You Said:

When a page is set as the Shop page under WooCommerce > Settings > Products > General, WooCommerce overrides that page’s content and applies the product catalog template instead. This means any custom content or templates you’ve applied to that page won’t be shown.

What is the point of that ????

You Said

If you’re using a block theme and want to customize your shop layout, the correct way is to edit the Product Catalog template (not the Shop page itself). You can find and customize that template under Appearance > Editor > Templates > Product Catalog.

In my search of the internet I have not once come across this

So if I understand this correctly there is no need for a shop page and no point in setting the Products > General to shop if I use a block theme which I am. Wish I had known this before spending countless hours trying to link the custom shop page to the menu item.

Now we have discovered this can you tell me why I now have my custom shop page displaying when I click on the Shop menu item when the Products > General is set to Home Page.

I have images and the system report but my brain is fried and have no idea where to send them

What is the point of woocommerce if you cannot do one simple thing ie; Have shop selected as the products and shop selected as the menu/navigation option and you cannot display the shop and get directed to some product page.

I have scoured the internet, I have deleted and re-installed woocommerce and still not working.

My frustration with this plug after hours and hours trying to get it to work is growing to a level unknown to man. Is there nobody out there with knowledge far greater than mine able to help.

I think I might have fixed but I won’t hold my breath

I renamed the Page slug to store
I renamed the menu link to store
Still got the wrong page
Renamed the Page slug back to shop
Renamed the menu link back to shop

And hey presto I have the custom page I wanted.

Is this going to be a permanent situation I do not know but will keep my fingers crossed

I have installed and set up the plugin and all seems to be as I expected, I wonder if I had got things a bit messed up with all the different attempts to set up.

The one question I have is Why is there 2 login pages, Login and Login-2

So Steven Stern (sterndata) Volunteer Forum Moderator !

I have chosen to take my time to respond to your “You’ve removed the URLs again. I’m done here.” response .

1. I did not remove urls again, the first they were entered into the safe url box why they did not appear I do not know.
2. I did remove them the last time because silly me thought you would have said url’s and it would be safe for me to remove rather than have them floating out on the wild west west

What the you moderator don’t know with an attitude like this (a guru and moderator)

1. Have I a disabilty
2. Have I dementia
3. Am I frustrated that this so called easy block system is not working and coming to you is a last resort

What I know

1. This so called helpful forum is nothing of the kind
2. This moderator (volunteer) is probably vetted to ensure his powers of expertise and customer relations skill are of a high standard
3. The response from this moderator (volunteer) was poor
4. The WordPress column block sizing function is not working for me
5. Interesting a possible flaw with wordpress could be so easily swept under the moderator (volunteer) carpet

What I would like to know

1. How do I fix this issue
2. Is this issue fixable
3. Is this problem a deep rooted problem within the wordpress stratosphere
4. Where do I go now since the moderator (volunteer) is unable to help resolve the problem

In the meantime my site urls are out there for all to see

The Alford section below the reviews Open Competitions is displayed full width but the same section in the Aboyne page is restricted to 1280px

I attached the links to the original post assuming they will only be visible to logged in users, are you able to retrieve them from the original post
