Always use explicit `display: none` rules for critical hiding behavior. + +2. **Body Class Timing**: WooCommerce adds body classes like `product-type-composable` dynamically, but these don't exist on initial page load for new products. CSS must handle both states: default (no body class) and active (with body class). + +3. **Empty State Design**: Never show a blank grid when data is empty. Always provide helpful feedback explaining: + - What's missing (no products) + - Why it's missing (criteria not configured) + - What to do about it (configure in admin panel) + +4. **Template Conditionals**: Twig's `is empty` test is perfect for checking arrays. Use it for empty states: `{% if products is empty %}`. + +5. **Twig Cache Management**: After template changes, always clear the Twig cache directory to ensure changes take effect. WordPress caching can persist old templates even after file updates. + +6. **Translation Workflow**: When adding new user-facing strings: + - Add to all .pot and .po files + - Use msgfmt to compile .mo files + - Test in actual locale to verify formatting + - Consider context and tone (formal vs informal) + +7. **Post-Release Testing**: Critical bugs can slip through even with testing.
