WooWeekly #342: Uncategorized, Cart Abandonment

Hope all is well with you!

Here in Sicily (Italy) all is well! Well…, I always say “well”, but sometimes that’s not true so you’ve got to be honest with your friends 😀 I’ve actually had a tough time in the last few days, mostly due to lack of sleep from parenting and a stressful week overall. I’m trying to recover and stay positive.

I hope to write something more cheerful next week, which’ll mean I’m back to normal.

Anyhow, welcome back to our WooCommerce Weekly appointment – here comes a series of WooCommerce tutorials put together by yours truly so that you can learn something new.

New WooCommerce Tips

WooCommerce: Delete “Uncategorized” Product Category Forever

Upon installation, WooCommerce adds a default product category called “Uncategorized”. This is a nice feature because each product must belong to at least one category, and “Uncategorized” is therefore the WooCommerce-way to avoid problems. All good so far, until you get to the stage where you have dozens of product categories and if *one day* (everyday for me lol) you forget to assign a product to one of them your product will automatically fall under “Uncategorized”, with that category showing also on the frontend which is not nice at all. In this post, we’ll see how to remove this “Uncategorized” category, forever. Enjoy: https://www.businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-delete-uncategorized-product-category-forever/

Depending on your industry, up to 94% of carts are abandoned these days and WooCommerce merchants are particularly susceptible given the association between cart abandonment and frictional checkout. So what can the merchants of WooCommerce do to solve the issue of cart abandonment? Enjoy: https://www.businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-quick-cart-abandonment-solutions/
