I done a work around and not setting the shop page in the WooCommerce setting under the Products tab. When is is set I get content from an old, non-existent page. There is EDIT PAGE when the page is set to be the Shop Page.
Replacement. I have a site for the regular retail customer up and running. This site is just for the professional that know what the sku stands, needs nothing but sku, price, a place to enter qnty and add to cart using ajax so he is able to login and order and checkout as quickly with the fewest keystrokes as possible.
