Problem: Customer SPA not loading on Shop page despite having [woonoow_shop] shortcode
Root Cause: WooCommerce Shop page is an archive page - when visiting /shop/, WordPress sets $post to the first product in the loop, not the Shop page itself. So shortcode check was checking product content instead of Shop page content.
Solution: Add special handling for is_shop() - get Shop page content directly using woocommerce_shop_page_id option and check for shortcode there.
Changes:
- Check is_shop() first before checking $post content
- Get Shop page via get_option('woocommerce_shop_page_id')
- Check shortcode on actual Shop page content
- Falls back to regular $post check for other pages
Result:
✅ Shop page shortcode detection now works correctly
✅ Customer SPA will load on Shop page with [woonoow_shop] shortcode
✅ Other WooCommerce pages (Cart, Checkout, Account) still work
WooNooW
WooNooW is a modern experience layer for WooCommerce — enhancing UX, speed, and reliability without data migration.
It keeps WooCommerce as the core engine while providing a modern React-powered interface for both the storefront (cart, checkout, my‑account) and the admin (orders, dashboard).
Three Admin Modes:
- Normal Mode: Traditional wp-admin integration (
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=woonoow) - Fullscreen Mode: Distraction-free interface (toggle in header)
- Standalone Mode: Complete standalone app at
yoursite.com/adminwith custom login ✨
🔍 Background
WooCommerce is the most used e‑commerce engine in the world, but its architecture has become heavy and fragmented.
With React‑based blocks (Checkout, Cart, Product Edit) and HPOS now rolling out, many existing addons are becoming obsolete or unstable.
WooNooW bridges the gap between Woo’s legacy PHP system and the new modern stack — so users get performance and simplicity without losing compatibility.
🚀 Key Principles
- No Migration Needed – Woo data stays intact.
- Safe Activate/Deactivate – revert to native Woo anytime, no data loss.
- Hybrid by Default – SSR + React islands for Cart/Checkout/My‑Account.
- Full SPA Toggle – optional React‑only mode for max performance.
- HPOS Mandatory – optimized datastore and async operations.
- Compat Layer – hook mirror + slot rendering for legacy addons.
- Async Mail & Tasks – powered by Action Scheduler.
🧱 Tech Stack
| Layer | Technology |
|---|---|
| Backend | PHP 8.2+, WordPress, WooCommerce (HPOS), Action Scheduler |
| Frontend | React 18 + TypeScript, Vite, React Query, Tailwind (optional) |
| Build & Package | Composer, NPM, ESM scripts, Zip automation |
| Architecture | Modular PSR‑4 classes, REST‑driven SPA islands |
