Woocommerce does not show a sidebar on my shop page?

Even with a woosidebars plugin, my sidebar doesn't show on the shop page. I think it may be due to the free plan theme limitations, however on the pro theme description it doesn't mention an added feature. Could anybody help? Thank you!
You must check your shop page template, usually it is placed in the folder /woocommerce of the theme. Sidebar must been there, find it by id.
Also you can to rewrite Woocommerce templates and add the sidebars here: just create the new directory named Woocommerce in your theme and add your customized templates here. In this case, you need to name the template files exactly as they are called in the plugin, you can see it here

Custom Page Templates in WordPress to show Content in specific layout

I want to create a custom page template in WordPress which shows Image Slideshow and then a video below it and finally some text - till now what I am able to do is play with sidebar, footer, header.
I can either remove them or keep them in my custom page templates but what I want to do is play with the page contents.
The Admin user should be able to see these sections in the Page Editor (WYSIWYG) when they choose the Template from the drop-down, so that they can accordingly add the correct content in correct place holders
Something like the attached screen-shot is showing
Is this possible in WordPress
Yes! It's possible to implement this! you can use https://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-page-builder-for-wordpress/242431 or https://wordpress.org/plugins/siteorigin-panels/ plugin.
The first plugin allows you to create different page layout and save it. It also allows admin to choose page layout that admin has saved previously.
The second page builder plugin allows you to create template same way and allows admin to clone one page layout to another one.
Hope this will help you!

Magento child theme overriden by custom theme on categories pages

I'm having trouble adapting a Magento Theme.
I'm using a child theme of a custom theme in order to be able to update this theme in the future. It has worked fine in home page and product pages linked from this page, but when I enter a category page and from there go to a product page, my child theme is not applied anymore (custom theme instead).
I tried a lot of things but oddly, no changes were visible. I even commented a css I was importing from the custom css style field in the admin, and it was still being applied. I flushed cache of course, but no results.
I must say that originally I had a folder with css inside the main theme default folder (magma/default/child_theme/css/style.css) and it was linked in the field as mentioned above. Then I made a copy of it and put it in magma/child_theme/css/style.css, which is the way a child theme must be, as I understand. I changed a color in this new css and no changes made. The first css is still being called. I don't know from where, since I commented the import, as I said.
Any idea where to look into?
Thanks!
You mentioned it's specifically categories and their products. I would check Catalog > Manage Categories then, specifically the Custom Design tab on whatever category/categories are giving you trouble.

Wordpress child theme or plugin?

I have a client that wants to have a custom form added as a page on his Wordpress site. His site is using the "Genesis" framework and is already using a child theme of "Manhattan". I can create the form as a page template from within the Manhattan directory but if they ever update, the changes will be lost. What should I do?
I suggest you make it a plugin with a shortcode that way you can use it on every page you want. And even posts (which don't use templates)
You also could take a look at form plugins, which are fine if you don't need advanced forms.
As long as you place your template inside the Manhattan directory -- assuming you don't place that directory inside of the Genesis directory -- you won't have a problem with over-writing on update of the Genesis theme. Child themes do not have to be inside the parent theme's directory, indeed, they sd not -- they sd be in the /themes directory. See, http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
it is a very complex form?
If you add a custom template to the existing theme you may loose the changes when the theme is updated.
If is a simple form, I'd use a plugin like contact form 7, or caldera forms.
If not (or you don't wan't to use a wp.org plugin), you can create your own plugin and register a shortcode, you can write all the form functionality at the plugin and use the shortcode in the WP editor.
This way you won't have any risks of loosing features due to a theme upgrade

Wordpress Templates aren't showing up on my Page Options

I'm working on my first WordPress project. It won't be a blog but a CMS to quickly edit content and pages on the site.
I've got the header and footer exactly how I want it by editing them in the Appearance -> Editor menu. Under this menu I see quite a few templates that I could use (screen shot http://i.stack.imgur.com/P7IyY.png), some of which I don't even think I'll need or know where they came from. However when I edit my pages and go to the Page Attributes section there is only an option for 1 template (screenshot http://i.stack.imgur.com/UblzD.png). If I select Default Template as my template for the page, only the header and footer seem to load.
I am pretty new to WordPress. Am I suppose to 'activate' these templates somewhere? I only plan to use a handful of them (index pages, contact pages with a sidebar). What am I missing?
Thank you!
You should take a look at the information posted in the WordPress Codex on template files and the like. This image is particularly helpful in getting an understanding for when certain files are used by the WordPress engine to render pages WordPress Template Files Diagram.
You'll find the rest of the information relating to that diagram on this page.
I experienced this issue when using a child theme. I added a new template file to the child theme but the "templates" dropdown did not show on the page options section of any of my pages. I checked and double-checked the formatting of the template file and that was not the issue.
It turns out that my styles.css document in the child theme was not formatted properly and was missing the "template" attribute that designates the parent theme being extended with the child theme. I update the child theme css document to reference the parent template and voila! The template dropdown showed as expected.
