Hi there,
I need to create a custom search form for each WooCommerce product category but I can’t find a way to make it works.
I’m using ACF to add shortcode in each term archive page, the display is fine.
It’s easy when you only a one form for WooCommerce Shop but not for each category.

Assuming the form is set to the WooCommerce display results method, have you …

1. Set autodetect category/taxonomy:

2. And also set ‘Enable filtering on Taxonomy Archives’:

Then, you must add the Product Category taxonomy to the form.

The problem is that I need a different form for each product category. Your plugin doesn’t allow me to use multiple times the WC display results method. Am I wrong?

No, it doesn’t. How do the forms differ? Would they have different fields? How many different forms? It might be possible to make one master form with all fields, and then use CSS to hide different fields depending on the taxonomy page you are on.

For each product categories we have different product attributes so I can’t have one global form even with some CSS hacks. Users need to be autonomous.
Is there another way of doing this? I was thinking that you’d be a standard feature.

I think this is coming in V3, but for now you can have only one form for WooCommerce.
