Hi Team,

The dropdowns for the filters for the shop widget are displaying different. We wish to have it preferably like the ‘filter by brand’ dropdown style, as it shows better on mobile view.

We have already fixed this on our other site bla.com.au. There were two files that were edited child-theme functions.php also xstore/js/ajax-filters.min.js.

I’ve tried copying the same functions.php from bla.com.au however it’s not working. My next move would be to copy over the ajax-filters.min.js however I’m not sure if I should be touching xstore files. Im led to believe that updates would overwrite the file, however we’ve updated bla.com.au and the dropdown is all good. I guess I am wondering from the updates do they overwrite only if the files are newer and have changed since the previous version? And whether or not I should touch the core files or if I should wait for xstore to ship the changes for ajax-filters.min.js in a future update?

Please advise.

We are wishing to have the shop page widget display as seen in
https://bla.com.au/product-category/new-products/

To be the same on
https://bla.co.nz/product-category/new-products/

Thanks

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

Hello,

You will lose changes after theme update if you do them in parent theme files.
If you want to have filter by drand like drop-down we would recommend you to create a new widget based on our widget code using child theme with the functionality you need and do all the changes in the child theme.

Hello,

How would I do this? I assume I would create the same folder structure as the parent theme and copy over xstore/js/ajax-filters.min.js? and function.php into the child-theme?

Also why when I did updates to bla.com.au the updates didn’t override any changes? The dropdown styles remained consistent in the widget.

Hello,

I don’t know what changes you did in the mentioned file, so can’t tell you exactly. But I meant that you develop our own widget https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/functionality/widgets/ Don’t change the existing one but create your own that will have drop-down instead of the checkboxes.

Hi,

I didn’t do any changes to make the filters display the same for the bla.com.au. 8theme team implement those changes to the two files mentioned. I was just wanting to copy the changes to our other site bla.co.nz using those two files?

Hello,

I checked your support conversation. Ignore ajax-filters.min.js file, fixes that we made there were included in the theme update and you don’t need to copy it anywhere. Copy just code from the child theme functions.php. As I can see you have already done that for the https://bla.co.nz/
