Woocommerce Categories On Home Page

Resolved

Requested: 4 years and 6 months ago

Is the latest version fully integrated and compatible with the latest WooCommerce?

Any way I can show categories in sidebar on homepage (not shop page)?

  1. Hi Matt,

    Would like your opinion on the following. Bear with me here. This might be a bit long.

    I am still trying to track down this issue with the MailChimp for WooCommerce plugin. I had actually narrowed it down to the Storefront Pro plugin and the MailChimp plugin not working together. On a whim, though, I removed the filter by price widget and then activated your plugins, Storefront Pro AND the MailChimp plugin and all is fine.

    Do you think there is any chance of a conflict between your plugins and the Filter By Category widget? All this seems to revolve around these four elements: Filter By Price Widget, Advanced Sidebar widget, Storefront Pro and MailChimp.

    Any opinions or ideas gratefully accepted. I am running out of time before launch and would hate to delay.

  2. 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. 

  3. I’m sorry. It is not the Filter by Category Widget….it is the Filter By Price widget that comes with WooCommerce. If you could test it and see if there is any conflict, at least we would know.

    On another note, is it possible to add your widget to the 404.php page for the theme?

  4. 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.
