Add this code in you theme functions.php. Make a child theme if you are using someone else theme to avoid your changes being overwritten during the next update.

/**
 * Change number of products that are displayed per page (shop page)
 */
add_filter( 'loop_shop_per_page', 'new_loop_shop_per_page', 20 );

function new_loop_shop_per_page( $cols ) {
  // $cols contains the current number of products per page based on the value stored on Options -> Reading
  // Return the number of products you wanna show per page.
  $cols = 9; //Enter the number of products you want per page here
  return $cols;
}

override email-order-items.php in your template and comment out the SKU line.

To remove SKU from invoice, override print-content.php (from the Print Invoice and Delivery Note for Woocommerce Plugin) and comment the content with the dt and dd element on line 199 and 200.

Issue: No results come when searching for product tag in woocommerce.

Solution: For me the issue was solved after declaring woocommerce support in the theme. Check our article on how to declare woocommerce support in your theme.

Issue: The sidebar and by extension the sidebar widgets are not showing on your product tag page on your woocommerce site.

Solution: While investigating this issue I have come accross many suggestion to use the widget-logic plugin to solve this issue. Chances are that it won’t help as some code is preventing your sidebar to show on the product_tag page.

Check your page.php template. It might have condition checking if the page is a woocomerce category page or the shop page for better control .

Check if your template has a woocommerce.php file, if it doesn’t look for the page.php file.

Check for a condition such as

if (is_product_category()||is_shop() )

Check that this control the display of the sidebar for example you might see:

get_sidebar()

If you find that the condition checking the page type call the sidebar, bingo, just add an extra condition so that the same code apply to your product-tag pages:

is_product_tag()

If you need to adapt the display for certain tag only you can use:

is_product_tag('tag_name')

To summarize in case you have condition controlling the call to the sidebar make sure to add the is_product_tag() function. In our example it would look like this:

 if (is_product_category()||is_shop() ||  is_product_tag()  )
