I am building an online store with wordpress+wocommerce. What I want to do is , once I am done with the all customization and publish the site, I no longer need the word press tools. The owner of the site is only interested in the data presented by wocommerce such as daily sales, visits etc. But the wordpress administration page is complex and complicated. So the question is, is it possible to remove all other stuff and just keep wocommerce for the client?
WooCommerce is a Wordpress plugin, so no, you can't run it without Wordpress. If your goal is to make the backoffice simple to your client, you can strip all the unnecessary menu items from the sidebar, so he only sees the WooCommerce options. Take a look at this reference.
For example, to remove the Plugins item, in the theme's functions.php add:
add_action("admin_menu", "remove_items");
function remove_items() {
remove_menu_page("plugins.php");
}

I have a WordPress website that contains a blog and a WooCommerce store. I want the WooCommerce part to have a specific theme alone (they have their menu). I'm thinking of something like detecting the URL and automatically choosing the best theme.
How can I do this?
Install this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/jonradio-multiple-themes/. It lets you use different themes for different pages. Then use the option do detect by URL and set the theme of your liking. Let me know if you need further help.
I want to add shop to a site. But, before using the tools I need to know if I'm using the right ones
The site is already built in a form of a blog with different articles. In this stage I want to add a shop and I decided to use Woocommerce as a plugin.
The point is that i don't know how to continue. Should i build a child-theme for the shop to take the same style of the website that is already build?
Many of you might suggest shopiffy but at this point I want to have an idea more about the woocommerce.
I'm currently developing a one page website using Wordpress and a custom theme and I'm struggling to understand how I can integrate WooCommerce checkout (and WooCommerce Booking plugin) on my index page, which contains everything rather than using /shop/ etc.
Is that even doable?
The website can be seen here: http://a-maze-in.com but the booking section is empty for now (it's live)
Any insight deeply appreciated.
Cheers.
[edit]
To be more specific, my question would be: How can I handle every step of the shop and checkout process on a single page? (that would be my index)
[/edit]
Turns out that my main problem was wp_footer(); missing from the footer.php page on my Custom theme. That little thing wasn't trigging the WooCommerce functionalities (and more specifically the functionnalities linked to the Bookings Plugin)
I've amended that and now it's working on my page. I still have a lot to figure out (like how can I do the checkout on that same page) but now I can work with that.
I have a question regarding how best to build a widget/plug-in for WordPress.
I have tried to code this thing out but unfortunately to no avail but that's because I'm increasingly thinking I'm going about it the entirely wrong way.
This is what I'm trying to achieve:
I have built a theme from scratch. In this theme I have two content areas. The larger of the two contains the main content and the smaller of the two (proposed widget/plug-in) contains supplementary information (opening times, Facebook feed). I don't want this widget/plug-in to appear on every page and would like the ability to turn it on or off within the usual WordPress admin area.
The impression I am getting is that I can build the widget that contains the content I want (with necessary forms to change said content) but it is either on for ALL pages or off for ALL pages, no sort-of page specific functionality. That's where I'm thinking a plug-in would extend the functionality and allow me to be more page specific with it. That is my current set-up with a theme I'm running and plug-in I added (neither of which were coded by me) but I would like to repeat it as best as possible.
Would it be right to assume that widgets are not really designed to have page specific functionality and that function should be left down to a plug-in?
I appreciate this question asks nothing really in the way specific advice but I would just like an opinion or two on the best approach before I go away and create it - this is my main struggle at the moment.
Thanks for looking.
This can be done with the Jetpack plugin. Once activated you can choose what widgets display on what pages:
The Widget Visibility module enables you to configure widgets to appear only on certain pages (or be hidden on certain pages) by using the Visibility panel.
Visibility is controlled by five aspects: page type, category, tag, date, and author. For example, if you wanted the Archives widget to only appear on category archives and error pages, choose “Show” from the first dropdown and then add two rules: “Page is 404 Error Page” and “Category is All Category Pages.”

It is also possible with the Display Widgets plugin.
This is a common problem. The usual remedy is to use an existing plugin that allows widgets to be tied to pages.
The 3 most popular plugins for this are:
JetPack
Per Page Widgets
Widget Logic
Is there any way we can assign a shortcode to already created widget and later use that
shortcode in our specific posts and pages to show that widget instead of trivial method of
showing widgets in sidebar ? I googled about this stuff didn't find anything relative.
Any suggestion would be welcome!
Yes, You can call widget in Post/Page using shortcode. Follow this link to establish a system like that.

This might be relevant.
Widgets on Pages
https://wordpress.org/plugins/widgets-on-pages/
Observations and two questions:
This plugin allows insertion of 1 or "sets" of widgets via shortcode into pages, posts, (and Custom post types?) and it will also save a list of configured shortcodes~sets. VERY handy!
When comparing its features to the plugin Widgets Shortcode, that plugin does not provide a means to save "sets" of plugins, rather it seems to focus on inserting widgets individually. In fact, it inserts the shortcode for each widget in the bottom edge of each widget and it assigns different shortcodes to each instance of a widget. Also nice.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-shortcode/
I like the granularity Widgets Shortcode provides with an individual shortcode for every instance of every widget. When running it and your plugin simultaneously even widgets saved in your plugin's "sets" are still assigned individual shortcodes. Those individual shortcodes allow using a specific widget out of a "set" in a different location without needing to create an additional instance of the widget as it appears would be required with your plugin.
Incidently, for anyone who wants both of these features, these two plugins play very nicely together on one of our WP 4.0 Multisite installations with 50+ sites and even on a site using the theme Make.
FYI: We also tested amr shortcode any widget, but had some issues with it and rather than troubleshoot it we moved on. To be fair, we were testing quickly on a site with over 160 plugins active. Yes, 160 plugins. I know, I know, but think about it for a minute. Any plugin that you can activate into that mix of 160 plugins and it does not break things or introduce issues, then it suggests a good probability of it being troublefree to use.... well at least until the next round of WP updates. :)
We also tested Widgetize Pages Light and its pro version Sidebar & Widget Manager and had no issues with either. However, if only seeking to insert widgets into pages and posts these plugins seem like overkill as they provide additional page layout functions that may duplicate theme functions and/or other plugin functions.
I was looking for a "widgets in pages" plugin that provides a TinyMCE button to insert the widget shortcodes.
Can anyone recommend one that has a TinyMCE button to insert the widget shortcodes in pages, posts and CPTs?
Ultimately I selected Widgets On Pages as having the best combination of features for this application. Its simple to understand, easy to use, versatile and has worked flawlessly for us, even along side Widgets Shortcode.
You can do it by wordpress WordPress Widgets Shortcode plugin, you can Embed any widget area/dynamic sidebar to your pages/posts using this plugin as a shortcode
edit widgets in wp :
file in # wp-includes/widgets.php: register_widget()
in source view sample :
public function register( $widget_class ) {
$this->widgets[$widget_class] = new $widget_class();
}
