    Hi,

    I hope you can help. I don’t want my vendors adding their social account buttons to their pages as then customers will just be a couple of clicks away from buying the products through the vendors’ own websites rather than mine – something I want to avoid! I also don’t want to just say to vendors – this functionality exists – but don’t use it! Is there a way to easily remove this section? Thanks! also – I am a novice so I need it step by step. thanks very much, Pip.

    Sure, it’s rather easy.

    1.) Copy /plugins/wc-vendors-pro/templates/dashboard/store-settings.php to /themes/yourtheme/wc-vendors/dashboard/store-settings.php

    2.) Edit the file you just copied. Delete lines #86-#100. Save.

    Done!

    Not yet — But eventually we will have that in there. We tried to stay away form “Checkboxes” on the settings page for the add/edit product form because it is going to be a VEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYY LOOOOOOOOONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG page. But given some of the technical issues people have in being to scared to delete one line of code from a template file, I guess we will eventually, yes.

    Perhaps you could try it. You’d be surprised how easy it is. 🙂

    @Joyloli, be sure to delete the Social Tab when people apply to become vendors in the /front/vednor-signup-form-php file as well. 🙂
    This will do the trick:

    <?php
/**
 * The template for displaying the vendor application form 
 *
 * Override this template by copying it to yourtheme/wc-vendors/front
 *
 * @package    WCVendors_Pro
 * @version    1.0.2
 */
?>
<form method="post" action="" class="wcv-form"> 

	<h3><?php __( 'Vendor Application', 'wcvendors-pro'); ?></h3>

	<div class="wcv-tabs top" data-prevent-url-change="true">
		<ul class="tabs-nav" style="padding:0; margin:0;">
	  		<li><a class="tabs-tab" href="#storesettings"><?php _e( 'General Store Information', 'wcvendors-pro'); ?></a></li>
	  		<li><a class="tabs-tab" href="#payment"><?php _e( 'Payment', 'wcvendors-pro'); ?></a></li>
	  		<!--<li><a class="tabs-tab" href="#social"><?php _e( 'Social', 'wcvendors-pro'); ?></a></li> -->
		</ul>

		<!-- Store Settings Form -->
		<div class="tabs-content" id="storesettings">

				<!-- Store Name -->
				<?php WCVendors_Pro_Store_Form::store_name( '' ); ?>

				<label><?php _e( 'Single product page store description', 'wcvendors-pro'); ?></label>

		</div>

		<?php WCVendors_Pro_Store_Form::save_button( __( 'Apply to be Vendor', 'wcvendors-pro') ); ?>

	</form>

    Hi,

    thanks Ben and others for your help. This is great. I also deleted the following line from both copied files to remove the social tab label altogether in the front end application form and the vendor dashboard:
    <li><a href="#social"><?php _e( 'Social', 'wcvendors-pro'); ?></a></li>

    To clarify(based on Pathfinder’s comment) – will I need to recopy these files and re-delete the code every time there are new updates to the plug-in?

    many thanks!

    The file you modified would have been /plugins/wc-vendors-pro/templates/dashboard/store-settings.php. Then copy that file to /themes/YOURTHEME/wc-vendors/dashboard/store-settings.php

    ….and now all is upgrade safe. 🙂

    Hi,
    should the /themes/YOURTHEME/wc-vendors/dashboard/store-settings.php be there or should I make it? I get into /themes/YOURTHEME in my case public_html/vyrobky/wp-content/themes/theme52942 BUT there isn’t any wc-vendors.

    @monika — It wont be there until you copy it. Files don’t just magically create themselves. To copy a template, you need to copy it. 🙂


    @joyloli     – If you copy the template into your theme folder, the templates never change and are upgrade safe. That’s why they are templates. 🙂 It’s not complicated, unless you’ve never copy and pasted before. If you have never learned how to do this, now’s a good time to learn as you’ll be a better admin in the end.

    To both: If you think this is hard, because of a lack of technical expertise — LEARN IT. 😉 Being a WooCommerce Multi Vendor Marketplace site admin is more than just installing a plugin and a theme. You need to learn to admin. 😉 Now is a great time to start, and we’re here if you need help.

    Hello & thank you Ben,
    Do you think you can lead me to a Video to start with and get familiar with the editing ?!
