Dear Service,

This question is about how to implement product categories into a page, I find the product category ID could be shown automatically by program if a correct product category which exists and to be inputed to the category box. So, this issue is not a problem anymore.

But there is another problem happened, when the product categor(ies) successfully insert into a page, the inserted category could not show the correct products after click but 404 page.

This problem is kindly the same as woocommerce URL slug translated problem earlier.
Please check…
1. The product category id could be shown in backend page.

2. The product category inserted successfully.

3. After click the inserted category, there comes a 404 page.

4. I change the 404 page URL slug as correct Chinese slug, the category id=56 products show on the page.

My question is “insert product category into a page” is quite a important function, but it seems not to be integrated well into visual composer, because people can only see the 404 page but correct ones.

Maybe you’d like to suggest me not to implement the “slug” as URL rule of my website, but I think the URL slug is not only like a “landmark” to a user but also important for website SEO.

How to solve this problem?

Eric

Hello,

I’ve re-saved Permalinks settings in WP Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks and products are shown now.
Clear browser cache and check.

Best regards,

Dear Jack,

It looks ok, but I have a other question.
This page seems to be composed by program,
http://store.yoz.tw/product-category/sandmarc/%E6%8E%9B%E8%BC%89%E9%85%8D%E4%BB%B6/
I mean I set this product page as 3 columns, but it seems left a sidebar position(space) on right side.
. What if I want this page become with “without sidebar” style?
. Moreover, shows the related products at the page bottom?

My question is where and how could I edit this page (at least let it as no sidebar style)?
Thank you.

Best regards,
Eric

Dear Jack,

I try to use woocommerce short code [product_category category="掛載配件" columns="3"] to have a product category page with 3 columns, like this…
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0UZ77fMI9c0aDB3WDRKSXdWcmM/view?usp=sharing

The page composed after click the inserted category, like this…
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0UZ77fMI9c0U3dVS1g1QlZ2Y3c/view?usp=sharing

It looks weird that program compose category products page without sidebar on the page.
Please tell me how to remove the default sidebar space from that composed page? Thank you.

Best regards,
Eric

Hello,

You had 2 products per row in Theme Options > Products Page Layout > Products per row. I’ve changed the number to “3”.
Please check the page now.

Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

Dear Jack,

That’s great. Thank you!

Is that possible to add Product Title into every product page item?
And let all the list view products text as 18px (for the reason that as the same with my single product page text size)?

Hello,

To change font size for product excerpt use this code in Custom CSS for desktop:
```
.products-list .product .product-details .product-excerpt {
   font-size: 18px;
}
```
To show product title you need enable it in Theme Options > Products Page Layout > Show product name.
Then if you want to show it only for list view you need add this code in Global Custom CSS:
```
.products-grid .product-title {
  display: none;
}
```
Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

Dear Jack,

OK, it’s done.
But…
How to set per product category page product number in grid view?
I’d like to set it as 9 products per product category page.
http://store.yoz.tw/product-category/sandmarc/ (it’s a little bit strange that my 11th product on page2.)

Would you please tell me how to set?

Eric

Hello,

Go to WP Dashboard -> Settings -> Reading -> “Blog pages show at most” and then set the number of your products you want to be shown.

Best regards,
