Woocommerce shop sidebar widget not displaying - wordpress

This is something that I've been scratching my head over for a few hours now.
I'm using Wordpress 3.9.1 with the Muzak theme and have installed Woocommerce 2.1.12.
I wanted to replace the default sidebar content (pages, archives and categories) that was displaying on the shop pages for something more appropriate, so I went to Appearance/Widgets and found a widget area called Shop Sidebar. Great I thought, so I dragged a couple of the Woocommerce widgets into this area and saved it, thinking that when I went back to the shop pages my new sidebar would appear - wrong! It still displays the standard Wordpress sidebar content and nothing that I do seems to make any difference.
Is there something that I'm missing? Something that I'm failing to grasp? It seems a straightforward enough exercise but apparently not!
Any help or advice would be gratefully received :)
Tony.

WooCommerce category pages messed up after theme update

I have recently updated a client's Wordpress website with the newest version of the theme Avada along with the latest WooCommerce. There is a lot of bespoke code and styling in here but all within the theme folder which was copied over post-update.
However, although everything seems OK elsewhere, the category listing page (and also the related products within the product detail pages) look completely messed up, as if the div surrounding the unordered list has disappeared, making the whole page look odd.
Here is an example of what I mean: http://loveandfun.co.uk/product-category/rabbit-range/
As you can see, the first product in the category list is fine, but then the ul is closed and the rest of the products are shoved underneath completely outside of the loop it seems. I cannot find any reason why this would have happened, so I am a little stumped.
Can anyone shine a light on why this may have happened?
Thank you.

How to control breadcrumbs in Kallyas / WooCommerce?

how can I control the behaviour of the breadcrumbs in the Kallyas theme? There's no options neither in version 3.6 of the Kallyas theme nor in version 2.2.10 of Woocommerce. My problem is actually that the appearance of breadcrumbs is not really homogeneous:
Using "Custom Header Layout" header (Page builder): Breadcrumbs visible
(shows option for showing or not showing breadcrumbs)
Using "Static Content Default" header (Page builder): Breadcrumbs not visible
Sometimes I need the "Static Content Layout" Header, sometimes the other. I just cannot accept that I have to chose the one or the other in order to have a breadcrumb or not.
In Woocommerce, breadcrumbs only start at product level, the category level shows no breadcrumbs, so yet another open question to me.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions on how to control the beast
Kallayas, as many other themes that use visual builders, is suffering from a lot of usability issues. If you know a bit of PHP, I'd suggest you use Yoast SEO with the breadcrumbs feature (Advanced menu in admin panel). There could be a lot of other good solutions, but this one works great for me.
Kallayas did some major change of their code from version 3 to 4, which created way too much work for us when updating a client's site, so be aware of this, if you happen to be still using it.
P.S. I'm aware I'm answering a 3-year old question, I just hope that this could help anyone else struggling with breadcrumbs with Kallayas.

JUNK at bottom of woocommerce shop page

My woocommerce page has junk at the bottom, under the products display. I've copied the templates over and am modifying the archive-product.php file as per all the instructions, but I cannot find where the problem lies. Under the products, I am getting a search bar, then a page nav, an post archive date list, and post categories. It's ugly.
Has anyone ever experienced this and know how to fix it? I could provide the code if necessary to look at.
Thanks,
Shawn
Go to the widgets section of the dashboard: Apearance -> Widgets (http://example.com/wp-admin/widgets.php)
Check if those widgets are in the "Main Sidebar" or any of the other widget areas on that page and if they are remove them.

Wordpress Sidebar fallen below content

my site is http://goo.gl/T5XTOf
It's a mystique wordpress site and the sidebar has fallen below the main content. When I tried to change the logo image in theme options, it didn't work, so I changed it at the webhost level. I changed the current logo image to a smaller image, the sidebar fell below the main content on all pages and posts.
I changed the logo back to the previous one (Current one) but it didn't solve the issue. So I changed the default template on all the pages to 2 columns with left sidebar and this solved the issue with pages. However, the posts remained the same. I use the post pages for product pages using a shopping cart plugin.
So since the posts did not have options to change the template, I tried using a simple posts template which allowed for several page templates to be chosen. But this did not change anything on the sidebar issue, even when I change the template to 2 columns with left sidebar.
Can anyone help with this? I tried looking over the answers on this forum but none seemed to work. I posted this issue on the theme's forum but have not received any replies for days now.
Try adding this to your stylesheet (appearance/editor/style.css):
#primary-content{
max-width:650px;
margin:20px;
}
#sidebar{
width:220px;
}
Thanks again Redleaf. I tried your edit but it pushed the sidebar leftwards half out of view. Anyway, I have switched to another theme and the website looks better. Thanks for your help

KALLYAS theme with WooCommerce plugin - Cannot remove sidebar on "Shop" page

I'm using KALLYAS theme with WooCommerce plugin for an online store. My problem is, I can't remove the right sidebar on the Shop page. I tried several page layouts on this theme. But sidebar never goes. If I removed the sidebar from KALLYAS them options, it affects to other pages as well. Such as blog page. (I need sidebar on the blog page).
So, if anyone have an idea of a solution, please be kind enough to reply...
Thanks..
make sure the page layout is set to "No sidebar", along with the "Defualt - Set from theme options" sidebar selected just like in the picture below. Also did you try to empty cache and hard reload? HAHA
