Question 1

Migrating from manual SSH installation to Composer Installation

Accepted Answer

Starting with version 1.16.0 of all of our products, we've introduced Composer Installation. This has become the sole available installation method for all WeltPixel Products, including the Google Analytics 4 integration, the Pearl Theme and all other extensions. This means products and new updates will no longer be provided via zip files.

If you already have your WeltPixel product installed via SSH (in the app/code/WeltPixel directory), you'll need to migrate to Composer Installation. There are numerous advantages to this, including:

Significantly increased security
Faster, easier updates
Cleaner codebase and maintainability

The migration process is very simple, and we'll address it in the sections below.

Composer Setup

To gain access to Composer Installation, follow the steps below:

Log in to your customer account on the WeltPixel website
Use the navigation menu on the left to head into My Products.
Find your product and click Enable Composer. The page will refresh.
At the top of the page, you'll see your Composer Configuration Commands.
Run these commands in the root of your Magento 2 project.

Individual WeltPixel extensions (includes the Google Analytics & Social Marketing Suite Pro and Stack Framework)

Note: Please ensure you perform these changes on a development/staging environment first. Additionally, ensure your Magento instance is in developer mode when doing so. Wh

Question 3

How to reindex your Magento 2 store from admin or SSH / CLI

Accepted Answer

a. Reindex from Magento Admin

Sometimes not all indexers are reindexed using the admin reindex option. Always verify via SSH.

Go to System > Index Management and check indexer statuses.
Select the items marked as Reindex required, then go to Actions > Update on schedule.

This will trigger a reindex for the selected indexers.

Important: Sometimes not all indexers are reindexed using Admin reindex, even if the time and date are updated. Double-check using the SSH/CLI method below.

magento-2-admin-index-management-update-on-schedule

Reindex Mode

You can set your indexers as Update on Save (entities are indexed when saving admin configurations) or as Update by Schedule (indexers reindex on a recurring schedule, default once per day).

For Update by Schedule to work correctly, make sure your cron jobs are running properly. If you are using the WeltPixel Magento 2 Pearl Theme or any other WeltPixel Magento 2 extension, you can verify cron jobs in the Developer Section included with our products.

This section also provides:

Magento Mode: Production, Developer, or Default

Question 4

How to customize  css / xml / phtml / js files in Magento 2 - examples [ Tutorial ]

Accepted Answer

In this article, we’ll show practical ways to customize .css, .xml, .phtml, and .js files in Magento 2.
These patterns work for any Magento 2 theme/extension and are demonstrated with the Pearl Theme for clarity.

Summary

Using a child theme for Magento 2 customizations
Magento 2 CSS customization
Magento 2 XML customization
Magento 2 PHTML customization
Magento 2 JS customization
Add custom code in Footer and Head via Admin options
Pearl Theme CSS/JS options for Category Pages, Static Pages, and Static Blocks
Additional Magento customization resources

1) Using a child theme for Magento 2 customizations

It’s best practice to place all customizations in a child theme so core/theme updates don’t overwrite your work.

Enable the included Pearl child theme at:
Admin → Content → Design → Configuration → (Edit your store view) → Theme → “Custom Pearl Theme for Magento 2.”

Add your custom CSS here: app/design/frontend/Pearl/weltpixel_custom/web/css/source/wp_custom.less

2) Magento 2 CSS customization

Small visual tweaks are easiest in the child theme’s wp_custom.less.

Example: Hide the search box in the header.
Add to wp_custom.less:

.block-search {
  display: none;
}

After changes, **regenerate Pearl Theme LE

Question 5

How to fix PayPal Instant Payment Notification (IPN) Warning [SOLVED]

Accepted Answer

Fixing the PayPal Instant Payment Notification (IPN) Warning is important to ensure your store processes payments correctly. If you’ve ever run into this issue, you’ve likely received the following message from PayPal:

“Please check your server that handles PayPal Instant Payment Notification (IPN).
IPNs sent to the following URL(s) are failing:
http://yourstore.com/paypal/ipn/
If you do not recognize this URL, you may be using a service provider that is using IPN on your behalf. Please contact your service provider with the above information.
If this problem continues, IPNs may be disabled for your account.”

Here’s how to solve it step by step:

Step 1: Check your PayPal IPN settings

Log into your PayPal Account.
Navigate to:
My Account -> Profile -> My Selling Tools -> Instant Payment Notifications -> Update -> Choose IPN Settings.
Paste the notification URL provided by your store.
Enable the option “Receive IPN messages”.

Step 2: Multiple stores using the same PayPal account

If you’re using one PayPal merchant account across multiple stores, you may see conflicts.

Some recommend creating a separate PayPal account per store, but this isn’t practical.
Instead, note that each shop system automatically sends its **own IPN

Accepted Answer

1. Free Products

Simply install the product via composer using the installation instructions provided by the Magento Marketplace.
