Support » Plugin: WooCommerce » Turning my Blog into a shop with WooCommerce

  • Hey guys,

    i wanted to turn my blog into an e-commerce with external products with WooCommerce.
    I want my blog posts ( they are actually posts with featured images and descriptions of the items i sell ) to be turned into WooCommerce products. According to this i heard that there are several plugins which can do this without problems. My question is : once i turn all my blog posts into WooCommerce items , will my old links be broken ? Will i have to redirect them all to avoid SEO Problems ?

    Cheers,

    Matt.

    Your posts will not automatically be converted to products.
    But you can do it or create new products on WooCommerce and add buttons to your customers buy using shortcodes.

    Here is the “Add to cart” shortcode:

    [add_to_cart id="99"]
    

    Or you can display the product data using:

    [product id="99"]
    

    will my old links be broken ? Will i have to redirect them all to avoid SEO Problems ?

    If you convert to products you’ll need to update the links and make redirections too, for sure.
