    Alidropship google extension does not work

    YIKES ~ one should not need to nuke their entire store and start over to get their plugin to work. Surely there is a better solution for others who will search for this topic. As for me, I had to uninstall the extension, reinstall, click its tiny icon, authenticate each of my stores and that was...

    Article in home page

    Christina, where do I find the download page for the Woo plugin? I only see the Alidropship plugin on that plugin update page, not the Alidropship Woo plugin, and Woo is what I need. Thank you!

    Make Davinci theme compatible with Woocommerce

    Hi! How interesting that I should see this question as I am putting together the graphics for my free bootcamp coming up next week. I'm teaching a step-by-step process of creating a print on demand eCommerce store on Wordpress and Woocommerce with no step skipped. The short answer is that they...

    Make Davinci theme compatible with Woocommerce

    I have 4 stores in development, basically 95% done or completely done, and I'm about to start marketing. One thing that holds me up is that everything has to look amazing when shared. I don't know what you are referring to when you say "Aliwoo" - is that a different plugin? I was referring to...

    Make Davinci theme compatible with Woocommerce

    Hi Arnaldo, I'm still deciding what to do with some of my stores. I know it sounds like a lot to start with, but I have 4 fledglings, haha! It's a long story. At any rate, the Beaver Builder child theme is completely blank and I love that because it's well coded and I don't have to hide a bunch...

    Make Davinci theme compatible with Woocommerce

    I choose to build my own themes with Beaver Builder and Beaver Themer for most projects. It didn't even occur to me that the Alidropship Woo plugin wouldn't work with the Alidropship themes. I now have a site that uses the Alidropship plugin and all three themes (I'm test driving them all to see...

    customizing images from AliExpress ?!

    I don't enlarge small pictures because they end up blurry. Instead, try visiting the Ali Express listing and find the largest size of the image they display there. These are normally in the description. Sometimes that's the only place that they display the images without their store name on...

    Image uploading creates HUGE folder !

    This is incorrect. There is more than one image per product in almost all cases. My site automatically creates the normal amount of duplicates (thumbnails) as expected and the file size is not an issue, especially since I only import needed images and Smush everything at the outset.

    Image uploading creates HUGE folder !

    I never import description pics either, only gallery pics. If there's a good description pic, I'll grab it manually, but I don't want to clog up my site with everything they pack into their descriptions. My first store still has to be cleaned up because I imported products by the dozen and then...

    customizing images from AliExpress ?!

    I always edit them to remove any logo or mark from the Ali Express seller. I discard any pictures that have markings over the product pictures that can't be edited out without more effort. Sometimes I use Photoshop or another program to do things like cut away the background, place the product...

    Image uploading creates HUGE folder !

    It was a quick estimate of product count; there are more than 100 products. There is much more going on with said site than the products. Along the way I have started using the "edit" feature to greatly cut down on the images that I import and also the variations I don't even want. My site loads...

    Can't Find Product Categories in Menu

    They definitely aren't showing up on my site. But I had the site built with Michelangelo, then decided to switch it myself to Davinci. I just switched it back to Michelangelo, and there's no place for the categories to show in a menu on the homepage. I can't make a menu with the product...

    Image uploading creates HUGE folder !

    It seems that many duplicates of images are created, but 24 for 1 seems excessive. This shouldn't be more than 4 (for thumbnails and such). I am using a WPMU Dev plugin called Smush Pro that reduces image size. It's unlikely that you'd be able to run it on 10GB of images, though. My 100-product...
