Has anyone experienced this before? This is my first time working with WooCommerce.
If I don't add products to a category they will show up in the main shop page as well as have a single product page, as soon as I add a category they will not show up on the main shop page, the category page, or the single product page.
I have not manipulated the wp_query in any way on the page.
I am integrating it into my custom theme which is really barebones, the only thing I have changed is the following in my functions.php file:
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_main_content', 'woocommerce_output_content_wrapper', 10);
remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_main_content', 'woocommerce_output_content_wrapper_end', 10);
add_action('woocommerce_before_main_content', 'urbantac_wrapper_start', 10);
add_action('woocommerce_after_main_content', 'urbantac_wrapper_end', 10);
function urbantac_wrapper_start() { echo '<div id="products-content" class="products wrap clearfix aligncenter content-container">'; }
function urbantac_wrapper_end() { echo '</div>'; }
I was using another WooCommerce plugin:
http://www.woothemes.com/products/catalog-visibility-options/ to turn off the "store" functionality of WooCommerce and use it as a "catalog"
This adds two settings on the product category pages, and sets defaults to NOT show anyone the content (no idea why this is). The settings are Role Visibility Rules and Location Visibility Rules. It does not mention this anywhere in the documentation for the plugin!
So if you are using this plugin you can no longer create categories directly from a product page, you must first create the category, set the visibility rules, and then create the product.

I have been trying to hide the tags and categories from (display only) on my single product page, the developer of my theme sent me the following code, to be added in the customize css section but it is not working.
.wcs-meta__cat, .wcs-meta__tags {
display:none !important
}
I have also read that these tags help you in SEO of your website, what if i just want to hide them in the frontend but they stay in the backend, is it easily possible?
This is the link of the product page:https://www.hodst.com/wp/product/p-a-n-i-s-y-n-t-h-w-a-v-e/#
/**
* Hide SKU, Cats, Tags # Single Product Page - WooCommerce
*/
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_meta', 40 );
Need place above code in theme's function.php file accordingly.
I would like to modify the products sorting on the shop page to product categories filter where the user can select the browse the products of categories from there.
I am a rookie in programming. I checked the WooCommerce directory to find the .php file I should work on. I got some clue it is in archive-product.php but I don't see the code which display the sorting dropdown.
Can anyone give me some clue to achieve this ? Or is there any workaround ? Thanks.
I added this in functions.php :
// remove default sorting dropdown
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop', 'woocommerce_catalog_ordering', 30 );
// now add the new dropdown
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop', 'add_product_category_dropdown' );
function add_product_category_dropdown(){
print '<span class="woocommerce-ordering">'; // So it takes the same position as the default dropdown
the_widget( 'WC_Widget_Product_Categories', 'dropdown=1' );
print '</span>';
}
The reason you wouldn't see the code is that majority of what is generated by Woocommerce is handled by actions and hooks. In easier terms this means Woocommerce creates functions that spits out content and assigns them to different areas of the website.(For more information on Woocommerce actions and hooks, read here - https://docs.woothemes.com/document/introduction-to-hooks-actions-and-filters/ )
I'd recommend using the plugin below. It does exactly what you seem to be asking for and you can avoid having to play in parts you might not be comfortable with yet.

Most awesome thing is that it's not one of those plugins that force you to get premium to actually get the desired effect.
I just found the solution few days ago. I use the function of WooCommerce product categories widget on the shop page.
This line of code will output the dropdown of product categories:
<?php the_widget( 'WC_Widget_Product_Categories', 'dropdown=1' ); ?>
I need to move the titles of the products, while I am browsing the category page, over their thumbnails
Details:
I have created a shop page where I only display the categories.
Every category contains 1 to 10 products.
Once I click a category, I land on a page where I see all of the products in that category.
I would like to see the titles of those products appearing over their thumbnails.
Thank you
A few more details relating to your parituclar setup are needed to give a proper answer. However, I'm going to assume you have everything at default. This is what you would need to add to the end of functions.php in your active theme folder:
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item_title', 'woocommerce_template_loop_product_thumbnail', 10 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title', 'woocommerce_template_loop_product_thumbnail', 10 );
For reference, check https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/blob/master/templates/content-product.php and https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/blob/master/includes/wc-template-hooks.php
If this does not work, check:
that you use the latest version of woocommerce. Actually a few versions back should work the same, but not too far back.
that your woocommerce templates are not overwritten. Check your theme folder for a file called content-product.php or in a subfolder woocommerce/content-product.php. If that has been altered, you need to adjust accordingly, perhaps by making changes right there.
that your theme does not already mess around with product display hooks. If it does, find out what's different.
Please note that this changes behavior for all woocommerce loops, such as any shortcodes you might be using and the "related products" section in single product view, if that is enabled. To affect only categories, the changes should be wrapped in a condition check ( is_product_category() ).
If you put code into a plugin, you must wait for WooCommerce loading:
add_action('plugins_loaded', function()
{
// move product's title before product thumbnail instead of next to that
remove_action('woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_title', 5);
add_action('woocommerce_before_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_title');
}
Added this CSS for the product title and it worked fine for me. I used media query of course.
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
How can I make a wordpress theme woocommerce compatible ? I want to make cart page, my account page, product loop page, product single page,checkout page design into my wordpress theme.
We Can make WordPress theme compatible with woocommerce here is how you can do that
There are two ways to resolve this:
1] Using woocommerce_content() -
This solution allows you to create a new template page within your theme that will be used for all WooCommerce taxonomy and post type displays.
To set up this template page, perform the following steps:
Duplicate page.php-
Duplicate your theme’s page.php file, and name it woocommerce.php. This file should be found like this: wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME/woocommerce.php.
Edit your page (woocommerce.php)-
Open up your newly created woocommerce.php in a text editor, or the editor of your choice.
Replace the loop-
In woocommerce.php, replace the Loop with woocommerce_content();
i.e., instead of if(have_posts)… endif; should be replaced by
woocommerce_content()
This will ensure that the WooCommerce templates are picked up for the product and taxonomy pages.
2] Using WooCommerce Hooks-
The hook method is more involved that using woocommerce_content, but is more flexible. This is similar to the method we use when creating our themes. By inserting a few lines in your theme’s functions.php file, First unhook the WooCommerce wrappers;
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_main_content', 'woocommerce_output_content_wrapper', 10);
remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_main_content', 'woocommerce_output_content_wrapper_end', 10);
Then hook in your own functions to display the wrappers your theme requires:
add_action('woocommerce_before_main_content', 'my_theme_wrapper_start', 10);
add_action('woocommerce_after_main_content', 'my_theme_wrapper_end', 10); function my_theme_wrapper_start() {
echo '<section id="main">';} function my_theme_wrapper_end() {
echo '</section>';}
3] Declare WooCommerce support -
Now that you have made the changes, the final thing you have to do, is specify that your theme now supports WooCommerce. You need to add the following in functions.php of your theme.
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'woocommerce_support' );
function woocommerce_support() {
add_theme_support( 'woocommerce' );
}
To make it more practical for you this is the video for you, which you
can follow too- How To Make WordPress Theme Compatible With WooCommerce Plugin
You need to install WooC and look at the all the style tags that come accross with it then you can style up the pages and add all of that to your style sheet.
Also you can use hooks but Im not 100% sure how you would check if WooC is active off the top of my head so that hooks in your code only come up when the plugin is active.
I have generated pages using a custom template by creating a php file in my theme directory
something like :
<?php
*
* Template Name: Contact Page
*/
?>
<html ..... </html>
and then adding a new page on the dashboard selecting this new template
How can i now associate tags and categories to each pages ?
Is creating posts instead of pages the only solution?
Even better is to add to functions.php in your theme folder:
function myplugin_settings() {
// Add tag metabox to page
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('post_tag', 'page');
// Add category metabox to page
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('category', 'page');
}
// Add to the admin_init hook of your theme functions.php file
add_action( 'init', 'myplugin_settings' );
Tried using the accepted answer but for some reason it only shows the Post types and none of the Pages shows in the category page. E.g. /category/entertainment/
To fix that, I have to do this:
// add tag and category support to pages
function tags_categories_support_all() {
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('post_tag', 'page');
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('category', 'page');
}
// ensure all tags and categories are included in queries
function tags_categories_support_query($wp_query) {
if ($wp_query->get('tag')) $wp_query->set('post_type', 'any');
if ($wp_query->get('category_name')) $wp_query->set('post_type', 'any');
}
// tag and category hooks
add_action('init', 'tags_categories_support_all');
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'tags_categories_support_query');
Try this:
add_action( 'init', 'wpse34528_add_page_cats' );
function wpse34528_add_page_cats(){
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('post_tag', 'page');
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('category', 'page');
}
Not at all helpful to say 'download plugin' for beginners who are most likely not going to have downloaded wordpress and are therefore not able to install said plugin. Here is some short code for those like me that have been scouring the web for something that actually works on regular pages with regular accounts - ie you're not a developer.
First, make sure you have your pages in your menu set up properly.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO MAKE YOUR PAGES 'Categories' or 'Tags'!
This wouldn't give you actual pages to then go and edit, so if you are wanting to add sliders, text, an intro, or anything for that matter, you wouldn't be able to.
Then go to WP Admin > Pages
Select a page to edit and go to the text editor instead of visual editor (far right hand side tab)
Then past the following short code:
[display-posts category="hair,makeup,reviews,beauty" posts_per_page="10" include_date="true" text-decoration: none date_format="F j, Y" order="DESC" include_excerpt="true" wrapper="div" image_size="large"]
<
(The shortcode collects all the posts that you have assigned certain categories in your blog posts i.e. mine was hair and beauty. So obviously change yours to ones that are appropriate. It then allocates how many posts (mine was 10), the date (in descending order,) with a large image and an excerpt of the post)
this plugin sorted me out :
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-tags-and-category-to-page/
with the standard instructions :
Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
Use the setting page of the plugin from Settings > Add Tags And Category For Page.
