    Hey WC Vendor!!!
    Great plugin by the way and great support, have spent hours looking through the forum and I appreciate your support for the masses.

    I have a problem with vendor submitted product showing in the shop or even the the vendor”s shop page.

    My permalinks are right, my woo commerce shop page is set to shop, and other settings are right, my vendor shop page is set to “vendors”

    I followed your tutorial on using the front end submission plugin with WC Vendor and I was able to set it up BUT when a user enters a new product , the product goes live ( which is good ) and it shows up in the admin panel as published , BUT the vendor submitted product –
    (1) it doesn’t show up on the shop page
    (2) when I try to view the category the product was placed, it doesn’t show up there
    (3) it doesn’t show up on the vendor shop page

    I believe that if the use submitted product can show up on the sites”s shop page, it will definatley solve the other problems

    Is there a code or hook to call the vendor submitted product to the shop page?

    Also, I was getting 404 error when trying to view mysite.com/vendors until I created a page called vendors and placed the vendor list Shortcode in it.( this has nothing to do with my question but I guess it can help others )

    If you got a 404 error when trying to go to yoursite.com/vendors and you created a page, that is not the correct fix. yoursite.com/vendors should simply show all products on your website (same as /shop/) A 404 error would mean your permalinks werent saved or set, you do not need the /vendors/ page at all. What you have done is a good idea, though, however unnecessary. 🙂

    If, when using WPUF, you, as the site admin, edits the product and clicks “Update” to the product and THEN it shows up on the vendors page and the category page, it means you have a problem with your WPUF form or your functions.php code or both. Usually it’s going to be having messed up the price meta key, or forgot to add a visibility key that has a value of visible. Very common issue to have with WPUF, as WPUF kinda sucks, but does the job to some extent. There’s some code on the tutorial page to help steer you in the right direction as well as the keys.

    I’ve also just had this issue of products not appearing in vendors’ shops and solved it by adding the total_sales meta key with value ‘0’ as a hidden field in the WPUF form.

    If you add total_sales = 0 then every time a vendor edits a product it’ll reset their sales total. That’s probably not the best solution. But then again, it is WPUF, which sucks anyways. 😉

    Haha, it was very early this morning when I wrote that!

    The total_sales meta key is added via the wpuf_add_post_after_insert action – it’s only triggered when adding a product, not editing.

    But yeah. WPUF sucks.

    Good! That would be the right method for that so it doesnt get overwritten. 🙂
