Hello,

I’d like to have the product Categories set to be open, showing the sub-categories, as default. So when a user lands on a product page they see both top-level categories and the sub-level categories, without needing to click the toggle (+) button.

Thanks.

Tim

Hello,

To open all category, edit wp-content/themes/legenda/js/etheme.js file. Find line 1389
etCats.find('>li').first().find('.open-this').html(minusIcon).parent().addClass('opened').find('ul.children').show();

and replace on
etCats.find('>li').find('.open-this').html(minusIcon).parent().addClass('opened').find('ul.children').show();

Regards,
Robert Hall.

Excellent, that worked when I updated the core theme file. But when I first tried to create a js folder in my child theme with the updated etheme.js file it didn’t work. Is that normal behavior? If so I guess I’ll just need to make sure that file doesn’t get overwritten when the theme is updated?

Thanks I’ll look into that. But just noticed the toggle menuas aren’t always opening. For example if I go to a category page only that category opens.

Please, contact administrator

Hello,

Do you wish to have the second category in sidebar opened by default?

yes, basically have all top level categories opened by default. So even if I add another it will also be opened. The code you provided does work but not on all types of pages I guess.

Great, that seems to work perfectly. Were the changes made in core files that will get overwritten in updates?

Hello,

You’re welcome.
We didn’t edit the files, we made the changes in Theme Options > Shop > Enable Navigation Accordion > set to “Off”.
