not a support questionI need to change the navigation that must be set as a default in the woocommerce platform. If you click on the cart tab - without adding any products - there is a "return to shop" link that re-directs visitors to a shop page. http://www.bulkpatchcables.com/shop1/
I would like the link and others like this to return to the products page that I created http://www.bulkpatchcables.com/all-products/
I would love to get rid of the woocommerce shop page altogether - its horrible.
Thanks for the help!

Hi ryanchris,
As far as I know this isn't possible without modifying the actual plugin files. There could be a filter for the shop url but I don't know of it if it does exist.
What you could do however, is just make the product page full width since the sidebar is already not getting output. Try adding the following CSS to your Quick CSS (located under the Styling Tab in the theme options) or the custom.css file in the css folder of your theme files:
#top.post-type-archive-product .template-shop.content {
width: 930px;
}If you want to clean up the permalink for the shop page, go into your pages>trash and delete the shop page there if it isn't already. Then go to your shop page and you can change the permalink from shop1 to just shop or whatever you want (as long as it isn't the same as a page slug that is already set like all-products).
Regards,
Devin
I must be misunderstanding a few things here...
I'm not sure how adjusting the width of my "products" page (the one I created, not the "shop" page that the plugin created) helps with the navigation?
Also, if I delete the "shop" page entirely - I'm assuming that I would not have a "shop" page to go back into and adjust the permalink - and now when visitors click the "return to shop" button - they wouldn't go anywhere...
Let me know your thoughts - I am new to wordpress and really appreciate your patience.
Just an fyi - when I say shop - I mean the page created by default it seems by the woocommerce plugin...http://www.bulkpatchcables.com/shop1/
Likewise - by products I mean the page that I created - http://www.bulkpatchcables.com/all-products/
I have removed the "shop" page to the trash - I think i messed up something with the slug and URL's anyway... The "Return to Cart" link now goes nowhere - which is better in a way than it was - I hated the look of that "shop" page...
If I can just figure out how to redirect that "Return to Cart" button to a page of my liking - I'd be set....

The code I posted effects the default shop page to full width.
Let me try to re-phrase, I suggest you use the css to change the default "shop" to be full width so that it matches the style of the one you created (the "all products" page). You must, as far as I know, have a default shop page that is referenced in all the woo commerce functions.
This "shop" page is set in the woo commerce settings and spit out by including the proper shortcode on that page. This must be set for woo commerce to work properly. Typically, its created when you first install woo commerce and it asks if you want the plugin to create the proper pages for you.
There is no point in trying to bypass essential functions of woocommerce when you are just re-creating them. IE shop vs all products.
My suggestion with deleting and re-naming is only to clean up the permalink since it looks like you already had a slug called shop, hence the second shop page was giving the permalink "shop1".
So once again, as far as I know there is no filter or easy way to change what page is set as the shop page without that page being needed to be populated by the woo commerce code.
Edit: right now you have this page set as the actual main shop for the plugin: http://www.bulkpatchcables.com/shop/ . All links referring to the top level shop page point there as they should. If you want the root of your store to look different than that, that is the page you should attempt to change not just create another page and try and switch them.
So bottom line is - use the shop page that gets created as it is fundamental to the woocommerce process.....
I will add the code and work on the appearance of the shop page - if I can get it to look like my all products page, then I basically made two pages doing the same thing. I understand what you are saying now.
I appreciate your help. Thanks a ton Devin!
