Good day

I can’t seem to find a widget, where i can display on parent categories in the sidebar. Is one available as part of the theme, or does it need to be created specifically? Additionally, is there any way to display the parent, and when the parent is selected, that the child categories are available to view? (only then)…

Is there any way to add additional filters: eg. by category, specials, featured products at the top of the produt page results: http://www.cape-eng.co.za/shop/

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Kind regards,
Paula

Please, contact administrator

Hello,

You need edit Woocommerce Product Categories widget and uncheck “Show hierarchy” http://prntscr.com/bp0jx4.
To show child categories when parent is clicked go to Woocommerce > Settings > Products > Display > Default Category Display > select “Show subcategories”.

Best regards,

Thanks for your reply Jack

I have changed the setting but now it displays all categories. We want to display just the parent categories (to reduce the list).

also, if i change the WooCommerce settings, it displays the ‘sub-category” images, which i don’t want to do. Is there a way to display a drop-down of sub-categories to the parent categories?

Also, please respond to: Is there any way to add additional filters: eg. by category, specials, featured products at the top of the product page results: http://www.cape-eng.co.za/shop/ or on special page…If i try to add shortcode it doesn’t display. I provided admin details in previous message if needed.

Kind regards,
Paula

Hello,

I’ve enabled hierarchy back.
Please use this css code in custom.css file:
```
option.level-1 {
    display: none;
}
```

There is no such option. You can add filters in sidebar.

Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

Thanks Jack

Only the parent categories display now.

Is there a way to only display sub-categories, when a parent is selected?

How would i go about adding filters in sidebar? (to have a dropdown or filter list option and not images / products displayed? )…

Many thanks,
Paula

Hello,

Do you mean to show sub-categories in sidebar? If so unfortunately it can’t be done.

How would i go about adding filters in sidebar?

To filter by categories you’re already using Woocommerce Product Categories widget. Also you can filter by color, size adding attributes in Products > Attributes and assing them to your variable products https://docs.woothemes.com/document/variable-product/. Then add “Woocommerce Layered Nav” widget to Product Page Sidebar.

Best regards,
