Currently, the product category pages are displaying a Category Sidebar. I need this to be removed. but cannot find the option in the widgets section.
Secondly, I want a category specific sidebar to appear for each category, with an vertical image. How do i do that please?

Hello,

Check content of Shop sidebar in Apperance > Widgets. If this area is empty, Categories are whown by default.

Ok understand, but how do I have a different sidebar for each category?

There is no such possibility, unfortunately.

Oho! Can I remove the sidebar completely and insert a shortcode instead for the image or something?

Hello,

We don’t have the option to show individual sidebar with Image widget for the separate product categories. Either look for plugin to implement this (for example https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woosidebars-2/ or something similar that suits your needs) or submit an additional customization request here.

I have installed the plugin however, Woosidebars requires add_post_type_support( ‘post_type’, ‘woosidebars’ ); to be added to functions.php. post_type needs to be product categories.

Kindly assist me to do it please.

Thank you

Hello,

No, you don’t need to add any custom code if you want sidebar for the product categories because it’s built-in option https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woosidebars-2/#section-8 , choose either product category https://prnt.sc/134aadw or show for all product categories your custom sidebar https://prnt.sc/134afh1
