Just read the review sections. People there have no problem blasting a plugin if it's crap ... lol :)

Actually, it's fairly rare. Don't worry so much. :)

Pretty unlikely if you get it from the Wordpress depository ... just don't use pirated or nulled plugins from elsewhere.

In that case ... use the Original plugin ... it has most of the basic "plugins" built in.

Thanks for the tips, I guess you're right - and absolutely correct about 'nulled plugins' ...

& yup, always do read the reviews & will keep an eye on this all - thanks for tips

If you want to find out if any plugins are slowing your site down ... deactivate all except Alidropship and Woo, do a speed test, take note of the speed ... then start activating your plugins one by one, retesting each time. Most times you won't notice much difference at all. If there is a big slowdown after activating a certain plugin ... look for an alternative and test that.

Deactivate your Cache plugin too ... and leave it till last.

And I am looking for a plug-in that will take the product title of a product and update Alt Text attribute of all the images of this product with this product title. In the below screen shot "Colorful & Trendy Long Sleeve T shirt for Girls" in what I want the Alt Text attribute of all the images under this product to get update with.

If I had to pick one only ... Facebook for Woocommerce. The official app from Facebook. Not only does it install your Pixel on your site (Like Pixel Caffeine does) ... but it also imports ALL your products to your Facebook page's Shop section and keeps them in sync. For free. Other "free" ones only import a few products until you upgrade with monthly payments.

Do you mean you can do product category sync automatically without setting manually your xml feed with official fb plugin?

What do you use for opengraph?

Use this plugin developed by godaddy.com to see what plugins are slowing down your wordpress website. Its not updated but still you can use it. Just activate it to see the performance graph and then deactivate it.

I use this plugin named GOTMLS to scan my sites periodically for potential threats.
This is a free plugin. i high recommend it to those site owners who by mistake installed any nulled or pirated or old version plugin or theme or any file on your file directories.

Yes ... it's an official Facebook app, so they have it all sorted. You can download it from the Woocommerce site or Github

After trying a few ... Open Graph for Facebook, Google+ and Twitter Card Tags by Webdados does the job flawlessly.

Hello @guru.baba,

you must use a child theme to run that hook. Just copy this code into the "functions.php" page.

I have test it and it's working. :)

PHP: 
add_filter('wp_get_attachment_image_attributes', 'change_attachement_image_attributes', 20, 2);
function change_attachement_image_attributes( $attr, $attachment ) {
// Get post parent
$parent = get_post_field( 'post_parent', $attachment);

// Get post type to check if it's product
$type = get_post_field( 'post_type', $parent);
if( $type != 'product' ){
    return $attr;
}

/// Get title
$title = get_post_field( 'post_title', $parent);

if( $attr['alt'] == ''){
    $attr['alt'] = $title;
    $attr['title'] = $title;
}

return $attr;
}

If it's still not working, try to check if you theme Woocommerce page generate well the IMG tag. If in the IMG tag the ALT and TITLE are missing the hook will not work.

It should work in the main theme's functions.php too. Using a child theme just solves the problem of it being overwritten by theme updates. I have 1 minor addition in my main theme's functions.php for a popup and it's works fine. For me, creating a child theme for that 1 little change is overkill. I'll just re-upload when the theme updates.

This is likely the problem ... not because of a child theme not being used.

I also recommend All in One SEO rather than YOAST as it includes TITLE, DESCRIPTION and KEYWORD fields for products. Yoast only does that with a paid add-on. Also, it handles your site map, robots.txt, htaccess file, blocks bad bots and adds Open Graph data for Facebook and Twitter. It's Yoast's number one competitor ... and in my opinion, far superior for an e-commerce site. Yoast is mainly for blog type sites.

Hi DWS, do you refer to this one? https://semperplugins.com/all-in-one-seo-pack-pro-version/?loc=sp_navmenu

It has basic Woo support but you don't have SEO Keywords for categories apparently, correct me if I'm wrong.

Adding Category keyword is a must for me personally.

Cheers buddy.

I use a few Yith plugins too ... and no errors. You need to be careful and follow documentation.
If you can't access Admin ... use FTP to go to the plugins folder and rename them to disable them...then go to Admin and uninstall...then try again ... if you wish
