Hello everybody,
I hope you can help me.
Please have a look to this site:
https://elvins-shop.de/shop-filter/
When you click in the menu"shop" and then"Bücher" (german word for books) then only the books products are shown. That's fine.
But even though I have selected to hide empty categories, all the categories are shown on the right sidebar. When I click on something, then no product is shown, which makes sence, since I'm on the shop-site (made with divi) only for the category"Bücher". When I click on a child category of Bücher, then everything is fine. Another child category is not shown, since there is no product in it.
I would have expected, that the counting of the website category should deliver only the categories which are not empty.
Could you please tell me, what is wrong or is this a bug.
Thanks and best regards
Jörg from Germany
Hello Jörg
Paste your license key here - https://c2n.me/43SC6rb.png -> https://c2n.me/42HBIt7.png and wp-admin access - https://c2n.me/42BAoj4.png
ok, done
BTW: I've just tested the shortcode:
[woof_products per_page=12 columns=4 is_ajax=1 taxonomies=product_cat:157]
Please have a look in the page with the name"test".
The result is that when you open the page, all the categories are shown, too. But when you click one without a result and then you go back, then all the categories are disapering and only the category 157 is shown, like it should.
I hope this helps you to find the problem.
Best regards
Jörg
and I still have problem with search by price. The bar is not adjusting depending on the filter result.
With the shortcode test page the search bar for price is adjusting. I think this belongs together ... maybe ;-)
Hello
I did test - https://c2n.me/46Ziuaw.jpg - This is not a category page, this is a custom page. For the filter to determine the current category, it must be an archive page.
I've just tested the shortcode: - please try to read docs - https://products-filter.com/documentation/#section_3_2 In this case to show the filter use - [woof taxonomies=product_cat:157]
I still have problem with search by price. - Please disable my plugin and do test with native woo price filter
Thanks for your help.
I've change now all the pages using the shortcode. I like this very much, but still small problem.
Please have a look to this.
https://elvins-shop.de/shop-filter/shop-buecher/
This is the link for the books in our shop.
You see on the right side that still the category"Armbanduhr" (this is a watch) is displayed, even though a watch is not a book ;-)
Only when you click on Armbanduhr and you get the message that there is no produkt and then click off again Armanduhr --- then all the categories without a book (so they are empty) are hidden, like it should be.
Have you an idea for this who to solve this problem?
Best regards, Jörg
One more thing I could observe:
it works like I want when I have this in the browser address field:
https://elvins-shop.de/shop-filter/shop-buecher/?swoof=1&paged=1
But when I open the website the first time, I have only this:
https://elvins-shop.de/shop-filter/shop-buecher/?swoof=1
and this does not work.
What is the difference and how can I get the first link as default?
Best regards, Jörg
Hello Jörg
I already wrote it above.
this page of books (Bücher) is only for your logic.https://c2n.me/470FwEC.jpg - this is a custom page. To make the filter understand the current category, use the archive(category) page. OR use shortcode where do you indicate the current category
sorry, but I've changed everything already. I now use shortcode. Please have a look again when you edit this page:
https://elvins-shop.de/shop-filter/shop-buecher/
you will see that I use this:
[woof_products per_page=9 columns=3 is_ajax=1 taxonomies=product_cat:157]
But it is still not working.
BTW: What do you mean with"archive(category) page" ?
Hello
You did the shortcode correctly, but it's still a custom page.
To filter understand that this page is a category it needs to do to get information.
For custom page: to show the filter in your case: [woof taxonomies=product_cat:157]
For archive(category) page - these pages have data about the current category and the filter automatically takes this into account
archive(category) page - these are pages that woocommerce(wordpress) automatically generates for displaying products(posts) in one category. Usually such a URL - http://your_site.com/product-category/clothing
ok, now I got it, but I'm wondering where can I get this kind of URLs? ...
when I type this URL:"https://elvins-shop.de/shop-filter/buecher"
then I get the message"no results"
Maybe the error is in the permalink settings? Here you can see the settings as picture
I've found it: https://elvins-shop.de/produkt-kategorie/buecher/
This works :-)
unfortunately you cannot put some text before the products are shown. This is why I tried to use divi to design a nice product side to special categories, including your filter ...
