Hello Ross,

Basically if you go here:

http://www.islainspired.co.uk/product/newborn – this page is based on Mix and Match Products, which uses Single Product Layout. and for newborn there is categories like Vests, babygrows etc. well i would like these displayed on this page and then when they check the box say Vests it shows the “Vests” products but i couldn’t get it to work.

Thanks
Aaron

Hi Aaron

Sorry for the delay.

Are you talking about the plugin “WooCommerce Mix & Match Products”? Because that is not part of WooCommerce.

In addition, where can I see a S&F search form to see the problem you are describing?

Thanks

Hi Ross,

Plugin is disabled for now.

Basically my clients shop does not use the “Shop” Page it uses the Shop page to only display a Female and Male Picture which is here:

http://www.islainspired.co.uk/gender

Because we did a subscription site for them and this seemed to be the best and easiest way instead of doing alot of coding.

But yes we use the mix and match on this page: http://www.islainspired.co.uk/gender/newborn/

i need a search on here which can be done by sidebar widget, each of these products are in categories in backend like: Vests, Top, Babygorws etc. which would be on the left to do the Search.

Thanks
Aaron

Hi Aaron

What you have done is completely change the way the shop page works so it is no longer a shop.

S&F works with WooCommerce, however, if you are preventing the normal function of WooCommerce it cannot be reasonably expected that a WooCommerce compatible plugin would work in your environment too.

S&F even supports the category view of the shop by WooCommerce – where the categories are listed above the products.

However, considering what you are doing with that page it sounds like there is a better implementation that could get around your issues.

To me it seems this is a simple gateway page, to easily choose a gender. Instead of hacking the shop page, why not just create a new page with this selection on, and throughout your site link to this page as your “shop”, so they will have gender selection before accessing the shop…

This will leave WooCommerce in tact and operating correctly whilst also having the functionality you want? And then in turn S&F will be allowed to work correctly too.

I’m only saying this because really there isn’t an issue with WooCommerce & S&F together, its the hack / modification of the shop page which is causing issues.

Thanks
