Hi, pre-sale question: Can you style your plugin “compare bar” more accurate as at WPC Smart Compare plugin and add possibility to move products at bar by mouse click&drag?

The styling could be changed via custom CSS. Drag & Drop is not available sorry.

Can you at least help with CSS style – to make your compare bar look like WPC Smart Compare bar?

This requires customizations – contact us for a quote on support@welaunch.io

Hi, I love the compare bar at the bottom of the screen. But it should appear only after 1 product have been added to the comparison. How can I hide the compare bar at the bottom of the screen until one product is added? In Europe the privacy plugins requesting to opt-in to cookies are using bars at the bottom of the screen as well. But the compare bar is loading from the beginning and overlaying the opt-in to cookie bar. Thanks.

Please send wp admin login to support@welaunch.io with a transcript of this and we help you.

Hi, some question before buying it. 1. Is Better Compare working with the Astra template and with this Product Filter Plugin https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-product-filter/8514038 ? 2. Is Redux loaded only on pages where required or in general? Thanks

1) Astra yes

2) Product filter – not sure what this has to do with our plugin?

3) Redux is only loaded for admins.

Hi again, I have a small request that is more feature than bug, but hopefully not too difficult to implement.

In using this product with your Group Attributes product which I also purchased, the names of the Attribute Groups in the compare tables really blend in with all the Attribute Names. If they can be bolded and/or a larger font, I think that would help a lot in breaking up the sections (I tried applying a strong tag to the Attribute Groups, but that did not work).

https://imgur.com/a/yc00Mp3 In this screenshot, “Overview” is the attribute group, and as you can see it doesn’t really stand out from the other fields or break up the section very well, like it does on the product detail pages. Ideally this would work on both the flyout modal and the shortcode/dedicated page compare tables. Thank you for looking into this!

I did this, still not working.

Sorry did what?

I did this: Please make sure the custom css file is writeable. Chmod 0775, still not working

Can you send wp admin to support@welaunch.io

Hello,

Love this plugin but any change I make in the admin such as color, css or even attributes do not work.

Thanks,

Eric

Please make sure the custom css file is writeable. Chmod 0775

Hi can I add true or false option as a green tick and a red cross

Only if you enter this as attribute values

Hi There,

I am trying to place the compare button with the shortcode in a certain section, but it displays at the very top left. I am using Divi. Any ideas? Thanks

What you mean with very top left? Can you share a screen to support@welaunch.io?

Hi there,

I am enjoying this product, but found a few issues with the Single Compare Table (aka Shortcode/when the table loads a new page).

In the menu Compare Products > Single Compare Table: When enabling the checkbox “Show Attr Name in first Column,” the following 2 checkboxes (Hide Similarities and Highlight Differences) no longer perform their intended function.

Even if all products being compared have the same attribute value, and therefore should either be hidden or NOT highlighted when using the checkboxes, the system sees the attribute name in Column 1 as “different” from the attribute values in the rest of the columns, and highlights everything/does not hide anything.

See screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/fGK80J0 The Engine Cooling value is the same for both products and should not be highlighted.

Worth noting this all works perfectly in the flyout modal compare table! Thanks for looking into it.

Hey there,

an update is coming now to fix this problem.

Just updated, and it works perfectly now – thank you!!

Great!

Hi! I am trying to figure out how to limit the compare bar to certain pages. It looks like by default it is visible on every page of the website. The main reason is that it often overlaps with other buttons and functions, but it is also not useful on every page. It there a possibility to exclude specific pages? Thank you! Best Regards Martin

This is possible only via custom CSS.

I found the resource on your site and tried by none of the two version work for me. What could be the reason?

Not sure – please send wp-admin to support@welaunch.io

hi there.

Can you use a shortcode to actually display the compare button?

I’m using Barn2’s Woo table layout and YITH compare (uses a shortcode), but client thinks it’s a bit clunky and not very intuitive.

See here for how i’m using: https://www.thredgards.com/ldpe-tapered-plugs-caps/#table

Each product has a shortcode assigned to a custom field in the woocommerce product page.

hi there, i’m afraid that doesn’t work as it looks like the shortcode needs to be on a product page to work. Can you confirm?

Product ‘P2’ uses [woocommerce_better_compare_button] short code on the following page and just shows empty. Tried using product ID also and same result. https://www.thredgards.com/ldpe-tapered-plugs-caps/#table

The other compare buttons are YITH (i’ve tried with the YITH plugin disabled also, same result)

Please send wp admin with a transcript of this to support@welaunch.io

Dear Sirs,

Today I purchased your plugin Woocommerce Compare Porduct. But I seem to encounter a view problems. First of all, images do not show on the comparison page. It shows the link to the image instead. Strange, because other (free) comparison plugins show all the data. Furthermore in the backend under the plugin options, there is no way to add extra CSS or Javascript, since these textboxes are not visible (and therefor not useable).

You can see for yourself on this page (and offcourse other product pages): https://www.vergelijkbewust.nl/product-categorie/smartphone-zoekmachine/iphone-zoekmachine/?compare=724,5213.

And also, why is there an extention in the URL ?compare=724,5213? This interferes with links referring to my pages.

Hope you can solve these problems.

Regards,

Romeo

Hi there,

please send wp-admin to support@welaunch.io so we can check the image, CSS & JS issue.

The URL parameter adds the compared product IDs, so your users can share the URL.

Hi, pre-sales questions: Do you have a demo with the side bar ? We are looking to have your bar but in the right side. Is it possible ?

Another question: is it possible to only compare product in the same sub category? We need to limit what they can compare to make sense, so they cant compare a car with a tree, for instance. We saw that you can probably limit with atributes, but we want by category os some kind of configuration.

thanks !!

Hi there,

1) Do you Sidebar or the Bottom bar but on the right side? 2nd is not possible right now – only top or bottom.

2) Limiting by category is also not possible right now

Hi, I have just updated to the latest V1.3.5 this morning and the thumbnail images are now not showing. Only the URL is shown.

Also I run your Group Attributes plugin V1.4.2 and I would like to format the group headings in the compare table. Are you able to advise of the CSS i would need to format this and where it should be inserted.

Thank you.

Please delete your cache and try again.

No luck sorry. I use WP Super Cache. Deleting this did not fix this issue.

Please send wp-admin to support@welaunch.io so we can check.

Hi! I found a strange issue on iPhone ios that starts as soon as the first product is added to comparison: the standard page name is overwritten, now saying “woocommerce better compare”. This is very well shown when viewing the browsing history in safari. Since this could be a serious problem for SEO, so I hope you will fix it soon in the next update. If there is a quicker solution to it, please, let me know! Thank you, best regards

Hmm we use state save method of modern browsers so that for example the compare URL can be shared with other users. THere is currently no way to disable this, but to mention this: it is not bad for SEO as Google will never index these pages.

ok, as far as the URL/SEO goes I get it and doesn’t bother me that ?compare= is added to it. But it would be very nice if the browser wasn’t saying “woocommerce better compare”

We fix this in next release.

Hey there!

I’m almost convinced of purchasing your product, but I have some questions before doing it!

1. Why in your website any of the samples are not working? :) 1.1. https://snag.gy/76qRcg.jpg 1.2. https://snag.gy/Z8WwDx.jpg 1.3. https://snag.gy/wAc5IN.jpg 1.4. https://snag.gy/TlcE6Q.jpg

2. Will in the future be an update of rewriting some code from the ground up? So, it doesn’t rely on Redux? It would help a lot avoiding the need of an average powerful server to run this plugin along with all the extra things the regular web creator has on their WordPress website already. :))

3. How customizable is the CSS as if I wanted to give some extra details to make it blend better with the website? :)))

4. Hoping for the new update, for the very last release of WP! <3

Keep it up!

Hi there,

1) Sorry this was a caching / cloudflare issue – this is fixed now: https://imgur.com/a/7Kwd5OA THANKS FOR INFORMING US :)

2) Nope currently not as ALL our plugins rely on that and we are in a good partnership with the redux team.

3) Fully customizable ;)

4) It works with the lastest WP version.

BR

Hellow!

1. Okay!

2. Right in the heart, guys! :(

3. Sweet!!

4. Superb!

Hi, regarding previous comment

“Is it possible to hide compare bar when it’s empty and make it appear when a product is added?”

and your answer

“This is the default case. It only shows when 2 or more products were added”

but cannot find how to get this. Once compare bar is active, is visible in all the pages, even if no product added to the comparison.

As per your module FAQ it seems the only way is to add custom css.

Pls clarify.

Thanks!

1) This is default behaviour – the bar only shows when 2 or more products are shown. Or do you mean the small badge? That shows all the time.

Hi Dear, I buy WOOCOMMERCE COMPARE PRODUCTS today. Im having problem to set up plugin.

I try to use shortcode: woocommerce_better_compare_autocomplete

I want to get it work dynamicaly on product page. Im using flatsome theme.

When I put shortcode I get only shortcode text nothing else.

Is there something else I .need to do for proper work. Im using woocommerce 3.6

Pleas check there are no misspellings in the shortcode

Hi Dear, No everything is fine with shortcode, button shortcode working but nothing show.

Im using this settings: Position: flatsome_custom_single_product_1

What shortcode do I need to use to get: “Compare with similar products” section on costum product page flatsome.

We have not shortcode for showing similar products – they are hooked into the product page with the available hooks provided.

Hi ! Pre-sale question. Is it possible to hide “compare bar” when it’s empty and make it appear when a product is added? Thanks.

This is the default case. It only shows when 2 or more products were added.

Hi, I cannot use the plugin anymore because of an error that seems to be connected with the redux framework. When I disable the redux framework plugin via ftp my site works but of course without your plugin. Could you suggest a solution or help me fix this problem? Best regards

Can you provide your error log?
