WordPress + Woocommerce + Twentytwentyfour + Classic Theme

[ad_1]

Hey All, I have been slowly losing my sanity over the past 2 weeks (not exaggerating) trying to achieve something that should be SO so simple:

1. Install WordPress

2. Install Woocommerce

3. Use Twentytwentyfour as base for Classic Theme with Woocommerce; exact style and functionality, I can do the rest myself.

..

I don’t even need any additional crazy functionality, literally just css, images, and php to include template parts.

..

On a default wp + wc + ttf install, clicking Add to Cart on the Shop page updates the cart counter without reloading the page. It’s perfect. I love the simple basic shop design and how each shop page in the set looks and works.

..

Apparently I have opened Pandora’s Box.

..

I have tried dissecting, deconstructing, and reassembling as much as I can, to no avail. There is only 1 thing I can get to work even remotely well out of 3 or 4 things that also need to work at the same time. I have even tried looking for / using classic themes that support wc, but they don’t even work after a default install.

..

The MOST I have been able to achieve is displaying the mini-cart counter in the menu with a post id loop where the mini-cart block code is saved in the post as plain text, but in a different theme. I don’t even know where to begin to convert Twentytwentyfour into a classic theme that retains style and function.

..

Why doesn’t Twentytwentyfour have the option of Block or Classic Theme?

..

I tried downgrading to Twentytwentyone theme and it does not even display the mini-cart counter upon activation.

..

Can anyone ELI5 with basic steps to achieve this? Any help other than “You should learn to build Block Themes” or “You can’t, it’s impossible, you’re an idiot, block are the future!” would be greatly appreciated.

..

Thank you so much.

..

(Praying to the WordPress Gods)
