You’ll notice the following code woocommerce_products_will_display() on archive-product.php that determines whether the filter should be shown or not on sub-category page always defaults to “TRUE” regardless if the page should show filters or not.
Old Code
<?php if ( ( woocommerce_products_will_display() || is_tax( 'brand' ) ) && etheme_get_option( 'top_toolbar' ) ): ?> <div class="filter-wrap"> <div class="filter-content"> <?php /** * woocommerce_before_shop_loop hook * * @hooked woocommerce_result_count - 20 * @hooked woocommerce_catalog_ordering - 30 * @hooked etheme_grid_list_switcher - 35 */ do_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop' ); ?> </div> </div> <?php endif ?> <?php if (is_active_sidebar( 'shop-filters-sidebar' )): ?> <div class="shop-filters widget-columns-<?php echo etheme_get_option( 'filters_columns' ); ?><?php echo (etheme_get_option('filter_opened')) ? ' filters-opened' : ''; ?>"> <div class="shop-filters-area"> <?php if(!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('shop-filters-sidebar')): ?> <?php endif; ?> </div> </div> <?php endif; ?>
New Code
<?php if ( woocommerce_products_will_display() || etheme_get_option( 'top_toolbar' ) ): ?> <div class="filter-wrap"> <div class="filter-content"> <?php /** * woocommerce_before_shop_loop hook * * @hooked woocommerce_result_count - 20 * @hooked woocommerce_catalog_ordering - 30 * @hooked etheme_grid_list_switcher - 35 */ do_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop' ); ?> </div> </div> <?php endif ?> <?php if (is_active_sidebar( 'shop-filters-sidebar' )): ?> <div class="shop-filters widget-columns-<?php echo etheme_get_option( 'filters_columns' ); ?><?php echo (etheme_get_option('filter_opened')) ? ' filters-opened' : ''; ?>"> <div class="shop-filters-area"> <?php if(!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('shop-filters-sidebar')): ?> <?php endif; ?> </div> </div> <?php endif; ?>
