WooCommerce: Allow to “Pay for Order” Without Login
Some plugins such as “deposit” and “subscription” payments send customers to the “Pay for Order” page in order to complete a pending WooCommerce order. In certain cases, customer is forced to log in and this affects sales conversion rate. Here’s a quick snippet to make sure customers do not have to log in when on the “Pay for Order” page.

Fix Your 301/302 And Redirect Chains
It is totally normal for internal links to be outdated and / or redirects to be forgotten after website redesigns or updates. When a link is broken, search engine bots get confused when they analyse your site, and therefore your Google ranking is affected.
To fix this problem:
- Scan your website with a crawler like Screaming Frog SEO Spider (https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/redirect-checker/) or Broken Link Checker WordPress Plugin
- Find all the broken internal links and fix them
This will improve user experience, internal linking structure and equity of the linked page.
Hope this helps 🙂
New: “What I’m Working on This Week”
- Last Saturday I spent the day working on my Gutenberg migration, redesigning the Storefront Theme visual hook guide: https://businessbloomer.com/storefront-theme-visual-hook-guide/.
- Clients are keeping me busy with WooCommerce dev, but my priority is re-launching CustomizeWoo in June.
- After my WordCamp Europe 2019 talks were not accepted, I applied to WordCamp US 2019 instead.
