WooCommerce product categories not appearing in Form

Hi Support,

I recently purchased ‘Search & Filter Pro’ to use with WooCommerce – and I’m having an issue regarding the product categories not showing up in a form.

My blog post categories are being seen fine – but not the product categories.

This must be something basic but I’ve tied multiple variations of the form without success.

My goal is to let the user search all products and then let them check either of the 2 product parent categories (retail or wholesale).

I hope that makes sense.

Many thanks for any help.

Hi Mark

Did you check the setup instructions for WooCommerce?

Ah yes, you need to change your default shop page to display your products, not your product categories 🙂

I can’t remember the setting off hand but a quick google and it seems to be the option “shop page display” in the screenshot:

Hey Mark

You can creat a completely seperate page for your search results – but it won’t pick up the woocommerce layouts automatically – you’ll likely have to do some tinkering with the templates – but they are completely customisable if you know what you’re doing.

So instead, simply follow the steps here for displaying results with a shortcode:

Make sure to follow the part about customising the template, because this is where all your layout/loop code will go.

There is another option yet, to use the archive method, and use the WooCommerce archive-product.php but then will likely still need some tweaking – http://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/search-results/as-an-archive/

Thanks
