Woocommerce Categories On Home Page

If you change the filters to this it will display on the homepage and not change any functionality any where else.

add_filter( 'advanced-sidebar-menu/menus/category/is-displayed', '__return_true' );
add_filter( 'advanced_sidebar_menu_category_ids', 'include_all_parent_terms', 1, 4 );
function include_all_parent_terms( $term_ids, $args, $instance, $object ) {
if( is_home() || is_front_page() ) {
return get_terms( array(
'parent' => 0,
'fields' => 'ids',
'taxonomy' => $object->get_taxonomy(),
'hide_empty' => true,
) );
}
return $term_ids;
}

Once you have this displayed on the homepage I can help you adjust your theme styles. Currently they have a margin or something between lists.

Hi Dave,

While I don’t see the menu on the shop page (I assume you removed it for now). I do see a bunch of JavaScript errors on that page which are not related to this plugin.

The errors appear to be from Storefront Pro, and some signup forms plugin. I also see a reference to a broken jQuery URL.

Until these JavaScript errors are fixed this menu’s accordion functionality will not work.

Can you confirm the widget has been added to the same sidebar as the woocommerce price filter widget? Your suggested code is correct to make it show up on the shop page.

add_filter( 'advanced-sidebar-menu/menus/category/is-displayed', '__return_true' );
add_filter( 'advanced_sidebar_menu_category_ids', 'include_all_parent_terms', 1, 4 );
function include_all_parent_terms( $term_ids, $args, $instance, $object ) {
   if ( is_home() || is_front_page() || is_shop() ) {
      return get_terms( array(
         'parent'     => 0,
         'fields'     => 'ids',
         'taxonomy'   => $object->get_taxonomy(),
         'hide_empty' => true,
      ) );
   }

   return $term_ids;
}

It sounds like you may have a browser cache issue preventing things from working. There is an option that allows disabling cache when the console is open which may explain why it only works when open. Does it work if you clear your browser cache?

Here are the errors I see in the console on the shop page but these will not prevent the widget from showing up.

It’s certainly possible that your issue is being caused by the “Filter By Category widget”. Sometimes other widgets/plugins will steal the global state and break conditionals and variables.

Where does this “Filter By Category widget” come from? Another plugin, a theme? If I can add it to a test site, I can look and see if there is a conflict. 

Hi Dave,

I have confirmed there is no conflict with the “Filter By Price” widget.

You may add the widget to any page you would like including the 404 page. Simply check the “Display on every page” option in the widget and add it to whatever sidebars you would like.

If your theme does not support a sidebar on the 404.php template, you may register one using standard WordPress practices.

Here is a good tutorial on how to do so.
