    Thanks for your reply. I’m not sure what is what to be honest – I noticed there’s a “menu” feature but it seems to be separate from the bar at the top of the page that links to all of the pages? That bar seems to be generated based on the pages I make and their settings… but I don’t know how to edit it directly…

    Thanks for your reply. I will have a look. Or perhaps I will need to post a developer job..

    Seems all that I really need is a way for the mobile version to somehow alternate between a full-screen product grid and a full-screen sidebar. I can imagine this is useful for more webshops than just mine, maybe there’s a plugin for it..

    Hi Amanda, thanks for that, that works perfectly! 🙂

    Hi Amanda, thanks for your reply. I think I’ve got that all set up right, the only thing I want now is that when the shop link from the top bar is pressed, it navigates directly to a subcategory that I specify. Currently it links to “/shop”, and I would like it to link to “/product-category/ (my category)”, so that the customer lands on that category when they start out browsing products. But I’m not sure if that’s possible…

    Thanks for your reply. The way I do it now works quite comfortably apart from the crashing, so I will first try to look into that memory and timeout thing.. feels like there might be something to gain there!

    Great, yeah that makes sense. Thanks for confirming!

    Will try that, thanks!

    I just ran a small test with a single product – I deleted it without deleting the image. Then I did a CSV update which added that product. It seems that NO new image was created, it still uses the image with the “arbitrary” name that WordPress had generated for it.

    I looked at the image properties in the Media Library and noticed that it has a field called “_wc_attachment_source” and it contains the original URL of the image at the time it was added to the Media Library. Probably, before adding new images in the library, the import first scans through the library to check if there are any media that have a “_wc_attachment_source” field that matches the URL in the CSV, and skips those. That’s pretty cool! (Though I am not sure what happens in case the image has changed)

    So I think this all works pretty well, but if anyone sees something I overlooked I’d appreciate to hear about it 🙂

    Thanks. OK, I have around 20000 images and many have the same name (they’re structured in folders). And I do not keep track of what is and what is not in my library, so I cannot check whether I can specify the name only or whether I should provide the full URL – so this is not an option.

    I guess that means that I will end up with duplicates, so I will need to erase all of my product images first.

    What is the best way to do this? Preferrably without deleting the static images of my store such as logos and such.

    Thanks for your reply. I use the standard CSV import.

    I managed to solve the problem. Under Settings > Media, the save location of the media files still contained an old domain name. I’ve changed it to the new domain, emptied the media library, and now it seems to work without problems.
    It’s still a mystery to me where the wrong pictures even came from, as I can’t find them in any folder. Clearly it’s a system I don’t really understand…

    This freaks me out.. I’ve deleted my entire media library through wordpress, I have deleted all contents of my uploads folder and STILL when I import a product, it somehow manages to show up with a totally different image that shouldn’t even be online.
    Dumbfounded…

    I noticed that the upload location of all my images now shows as not linked (I guess because I moved to another domain). I am suspecting this has something to do with the fact that my new imports get assigned pictures from the media library instead of what I specified in the URL? I’m not 100% comfortable with the workings of the media library yet so if someone could clarify a bit that’d help!

    Ok, I’m going to try a bit more if I can make it work and otherwise post it as a job. Thanks for the advice! 🙂

    Aha, I wasn’t aware of that. OK, so I modified and added this code, as far as I understand it, the orders should now contain the custom meta field along with the rest of the product data.. now for a way to display it in the backend “edit order” screen..

    Actually I’m surprised this is so complicated. Showing extra fields for orderpicking seems like a fairly basic functionality to me. I sell LEGO pieces on a platform, and hundreds of sellers there work with a hidden remark field that is displayed on each item in their order picking list. I would have expected more plugins around this..

    Thanks for your reply! I’m still having a bit of a tough time there. Let’s make sure I explained myself properly before I give another shot at dissecting your suggestion, just to make sure this is going in the right direction:

    I have a second SKU called bl_lotid on every product. It should not be visible to the customer or have any kind of functionality, I only need it to be displayed on the backend when I open an order for picking. Actually pretty much anywhere on that page will do.

    The backstory: I need to sync my inventory with another platform that has the master stock, and to do this, the idea is that I copy the order page (just Ctrl+A Ctrl+C). Then, with some C# skills I make some software that can pull that data apart and convert it to an upload for my master stock. To do this, besides the quantity to substract I need that second SKU to be displayed somewhere in that copied data, so I know how much to substract from which product in the master stock. Only the original SKU field is displayed, but due to other constraints, that one has a different logic and does not match with the master stock’s SKU’s…
