A very common WooCommerce shop page issue: sometimes (and especially with affiliate stores), WooCommerce product titles are way too long and go over several lines, messing with the overall vertical alignment.
On top of this, you may also want to keep the shop experience consistent, and make all the WooCommerce product titles of the same length. This is how you do it. Enjoy!
