Hi @toddpinil,
This at first looks like some custom CSS you’ve added to the site, would you be able to explain how you’ve done that?
Also, if you’ve purchased Powerpack I’d recommend contacting us directly and taking advantage of our support on WooCommerce.com. Please include a link to this forum thread, so that we can keep track of what’s already been done.
We will be able to help you further there in more detail! Thanks!
I figured it out by turning off my plugins one by one. It was, in fact, something that Powerpack was doing. Something in the CSS that it generated when I used it to remove the (obscene amount of) padding that storefront has in the header seems to have done it (it was fixed after I reset the header design style.)
That being said, am I losing my mind…didn’t there used to be a dropbox on the bottom right of the page editor that allowed you to choose from 3 or 4 templates? One was always called “homepage.” I remember using that dropdown to select whether or not a page had woo functionality or not. In fact, I can’t create a general page that has the woo stuff on it (like the main “shop” page does) as far as I can tell.
Also, yes, I know I should have contacted woocommerce.com for support, but I’m one of those old-school programmers who believe that when you buy something, it’s bought for good, and the documentation should be worth a (bleep.) Therefore, I let my (obscenely overpriced) “support subscription” for powerpack lapse. I’ll get off my soapbox here in a second…but I can understand a purchase price plus a (small) continuing fee for support, but to charge the same initial amount on a yearly basis is highway robbery. I understand that everybody in the world is going to this system (I’m looking at you, intuit/quickbooks) and there’s nothing I can do about it, but it still makes me want to barf.
Thanks for your time and response on this.
Regards,
Todd

You are right, and that is still a possibility. When you have the Storefront theme enabled on your site, you can select which template a page uses. You can do this by going to Pages > All Pages, then open the page you want to edit. On the sidebar select Document > Page Attributes, and then you’ll see the dropdown for Templates.

I’m going to mark this as resolved now, given that the original issue this thread was created for seems to have been solved already. Feel free to open a new thread if you come across other questions.
Yes, that template option is available for pages, as you said. However, those created by woocommerce (including the main shop page) do not have this option. That was why I couldn’t find it.

Oh, got it. Yes, that’s expected. The template cannot be modified for the shop page specifically.
