You all have been great with all the help, but now I cannot get images to show in a variable product, does this template also have a design issue which prevents it from working with woocommerce product variations and their featured images?

It is very frustrating to spend endless hours trying fixes and researching what others have done and yet not find the fix!

From the hover issue on the CUFON FONTS which the theme originally comes with and later found inability for woocommerce add-on to work properly in variable product mode for measurement pricing, to now finding image loading issues required per product instead of just using the same image from a folder. Non-display of product images and I wonder what else I have not discovered and will have to learn through test and trials! The site has a lot of handicaps when it comes to using it with woocommerce.

Is there going to be any fix down the line for all these basic quirks or is it the end of the road for developing fixes for Flashlight.

Should I be looking to scrap this theme and look for a refund or credit to move to another theme with you. one more capable of working with woocommerce and it's add-ons and gallery usage plus featured image simplicity for loading images!

Hi turboper4mer,

There was a big update from the version of the theme you are using to 2.0 and now 2.1 about a month back.

Update the theme to the newest version and then give things a try.

Outside of that, its a theme built around photographers and portfolios. Turning it into a full fledged ecommerce solution that a business is built around is going to take a significant amount of work if you aren't able to quickly customize code and modify the roots of the system you are working with.

Regards,

Devin

I use it for photography and its near perfect for my needs, minus the product variations, which ive managed to work around now

Im not bothered about the cufon, I was going to remove them to make load times faster TBH

@xGSTQ Yeh! That's what I am talking about. One of the nicest implementations I seen in awhile. Looking good!

You have a jqeuery error though. An inline block above google analytics that looks like

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function() {
    $("area[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto();
});
</script>

needs to be changed to look like

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
    $("area[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto();
});
</script>

Because you are now throwing

Uncaught TypeError: Property '$' of object [object Object] is not a function

Thanks,

Nick

Your fix seems to have sorted that
