Hello,
Why are you trying to remove all things pointing people to the cart page? The purpose should be to get people to checkout, not make it impossible to do so.
1) The sidebar widget is being added at Appearance > Widgets. You can remove the whole widget there, but it will take some custom code to just remove the button.
2) You can also remove this button with some custom code.
3) They are already shopping when on the product page, so I’m not sure I understand the need to add a “continue shopping” button. If you want to though, you could add “continue shopping” button in the product short description I suppose.
Hi Caleb
Thank you for your response. I should just say that I am a total noob when it comes to Woocommerce.
On the shop page – which as far as I understand – is the standard page created by Woocommerce default settings the products are listed. However, there is no indication of upsells or related products on that page. This means that if visitors go to the checkout from there then they are not exposed to upsells or related products. By removing the add to cart button on the shop page – and I agree that this a rather laborious approach – the visitor is taken to the product detail page where reviews, upsells and related products are visible. If there is no decision to purchase there is no way back to the shop except to use the main menu.
As I have said, I am no expert with Woocommerce, so the chances of me hacing set the shop up completely incorrectly are very good.
Thank you
By default, WooCommerce has breadcrumbs like this to help with navigation: http://cld.wthms.co/1cE7P/5cOy8VwM. Your theme may have removed them.
I do understand the user-flow you are trying to create though. Maybe add a button to the sidebar using the text widget? This html should do the trick:
<a href="http://www.ictexcellence.co.za/actwithfaithbook/shop/" class="button">Visit the Shop</a>
