Sort by “Featured” products first help.

[typosigns_MXFw]

I am using the free lite version, but I bought the Pro today hoping to get search results to prioritize “featured products” first with exact title match and I am having a hard time.

If you can get it to work with the Lite version that is Active right now, I’d appreciate it because I have all the styles and options set the way I want them and see no option to export and import the configuration settings from Lite to Pro.

Ideally, if you can help me get the Lite free version to do this, I’d appreciate a refund for Pro because that was why I thought it was needed.

Niether ChatGPT or Grok could get it right. There are some dated WooCommerce template files but I do not think that is for sure the reason. Please advise.

Thank you.

Hi,

It is possible to prioritize the featured products, but it’s only possible within the Pro version as it requires the priority groups feature. Luckily no coding is required whatsoever. Here is a detailed step-by-step tutorial with screenshots on how to set it up exactly. If you need help, let me know and I will set it up for you.

You can actually import your settings from the lite version. Most of the settings import should be seamless, it’s not perfect as there are differences in the two versions, but it should do the trick.

If you need help with setting up specific styles as you had it in the Lite version, let me know, I can very likey help with it.

You are welcome!

Well, the archive pages are not controlled by the search, those are automatically generated by WordPress and then handled by the theme.

While this is out of my support scope, I will try to help you out.
It is possible to hook into the query and probably make them first via the pre_get_posts hook. I have also found this plugin, you can try it, although that may conflict with the actual search query.

It might be better to have it custom coded though, this shouldn’t be difficult at all, and then you don’t have an additional plugin to take care of. I suspect it’s probably a few lines of code only to change the archive queries. I usually recommend this service for customizations and code requests, they are very professional and helpful.
