I want to put a widget only when a category has products.
We have many main categories and sub-categories.

In the end, they come to a subcategory page with products.
I want only that when there is a product, it will be a widget.

I attached 2 images

How can i do it?

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

Hello @shahar klamka,

Such an implementation is not possible without creating custom conditions or using custom code workarounds. You can use the Spotlight Categories widget, for example, so that the category items are displayed based on the current query. However, if you have a category archive page that includes subcategories, those subcategories will also be displayed in the widget.

If you could describe your main idea in more detail, including the URLs of the relevant categories and any other necessary information, we would be happy to suggest alternative solutions if available and the previous solution we suggested is not suitable for your need yet.

Best regards,

I think that maybe I didn’t explain well.
Please look at the screenshot. I meant a widget. So that there will be a sidebar.

Hello @shahar klamka,

Unfortunately, there is no conditional widget or sidebar area available to display a category widget only under specific conditions. Widgets placed in the sidebar can only be shown consistently on certain pages.

If you would like to display specific widgets based on custom conditions, please submit a request for additional customization at http://8theme.com/contact-us, as this type of request falls outside the scope of our basic support.

I explained what i meant. You didnt follow it.

I will try to explain again.

I want that if a sub category has only products – The page will be with a left sidebar(where widget are usually there)

Can you tell me how to make all sub-categories with only products to have it?

Hello @shahar klamka,

We now understand your request. It is possible to configure only the following settings: https://gyazo.com/b138a288512cd21a999d7b0c40ff5de0. However, if you would like to modify subcategory pages, this will require additional customization, as it is beyond the default configuration of WooCommerce and our theme.

Thank you for your understanding.

So there is no option to put the sidebar ONLY on the product archive?

Hello @shahar klamka,

If you would like to display the sidebar only for specific categories while keeping it disabled on the main shop page and other categories, you can either create a second product archive template with multiple category conditions so that the template is applied accordingly (see: https://prnt.sc/vK9nXRsncC4I), or use an alternative approach by creating an additional template and setting exclusion conditions for the main shop page and selected parent categories. In this case, the sidebar will be displayed for all other categories.
