All right! After painful try-and-error and intensive research, I finally get it work! Use the CSS code below:
.post-type-archive-product .price { display: none; } /* Hide price on shop page */
.tax-product_cat .price { display: none; } /* Hide price on category page */
.tax-product_tag .price { display: none; } /* Hide price on tag page */I know it is an old thread. Sorry to bring it up.
I am struggling to hide the price range on shop page and pasted the code above into the custom css box but nothing changes.
Is there anything else I need to do to get it working? Thanks for any replies.
Good suggestion Robin. I may need to screen my installed plugins. I believe some of them are indeed not necessary.
When you only have tens of images, the database is tiny. However if you have couple of thousands, the difference is quite big.
Make sure you backup your database before working on it.
Thanks Steve.
It is slow. The single product page reads database and I have thousands of products info there. It is especially slower the recent days for some reason. Could be server related.
Home page and other ones are much faster.
Thanks Dawn. That is indeed very helpful info and plan to independent artists.
As we all know, most of us are not experienced webmasters. We are good at photos, illustrations, vectors but not SEO, Blog. Web promotion is indeed somthing we all are keen to learn.
Good news at the beginning of this year!
I have one 2 days ago too… $5 🙂

Good suggestion! I will dig into the dead links.
The traffic from pinterest is due to one of my photos being pinned by someone to 1k+ board. That shot is lucky but it happens sometime.
Thanks George. One photo a day does bring some traffic to my site as long as people click the image thumb in social medias.
I found recently for some unkown reasons my google rank drops quite a bit. It was even worse than the time we don’t have link exchange widget. I didn’t recall doing anything except posting daily photos. That is where my doubt comes from.
I tested by temporarily closing my blog section but did not see any impact on ranking. Strange.
One SEO question here…
I put one new photo each day in my blog section as promotion. Following my SEO plug-in suggestion (Yoast SEO trying to get as few red lights as possible…) and here is the thing:
It suggest minimun 300 text words while I found it hard to do that in my daily photo description (yes I can write an long article but too much for a daily work). My question is, how much does it impact SEO? Anyone has experiences?
I ask this since our image in shop has normally less than 50 words in description, and we have hundreds or thousands of product pages. If it matters, that would be huge.
Thanks George.
For some reason just saw your reply. You got very good point. I am still doing daily social media promotion. I have now a bit regular traffic from pinterest. Need dig more with social medias.
Nope so far my prints business is not ready. I am working with my partner fine-tuning products. Hopefully couple of months later it will be online.
Jean,
You are not alone. My site slow down quite a lot when my images increase to couple of thousands. I guess the database file becomes larger in which case the queries take longer time.
I noticed your image file at home page is big. You home page loading size is 6M+. Try to drop the jpg quality as much as you can before seeing obvious artifacts. Home page is the most visited page. Faster speed help with user experience.
I use google analytics too. I might go deeper into the result to understand them.
Yes, most agencies allow you put your site URL in profile, such as shutterstock, istock, dreamstime, and other small ones. Some clients search my name in google. If they want find you, there is always a way.
Steve,
How did you monitor the site traffic? This confuses me as google statistics seems missing some visits and my WP statistics plug in recording more than should-be visits including bots.
My site is running for a year. Not many sales but well enough to pay my web hosting fee. So I will keep the site running.
Some findings during this year:
Social media promotion is not effective for business. It turns out most people are fans of beautiful photos but not intent to buy anything. Daily promotion has no visual effect on my site. Business clients seldom find me through social medias.
Link exchange is effective for SEO. We all know this in past posts and experiments we did.
Stock agencies brought clients to my site. That is the big part of sales and targeted customers.
Google search plays some role in sales. I have 30% sales from google.
