URL links to categorys

Hello Fredi

I want to tell you that its possible, but look here please https://epood2.surgitech.ee/shop/swoof/product_cat-glukomeetrid/ – when you open this link you see subcategories of the current selected category, and all its products, so nothing here to activate because in the filter are shown only its subcategories which are waiting for customer click. Sure you will ask why that, and why not to show parent clicked subcategory – because its already selected and imagine if user decided to uncheck it – what content in this case the plugin should show them?

But I can suggest next – dynamic widget title:

To dynamically change the title of the widget containing the phrase “cat_label_to_redraw” (just paste this name instead of simple text) depending on what page the user is on. Here’s how you can implement it:

Goal: Change the widget title based on the current category page. If the widget contains the text “cat_label_to_redraw” and the user is on a category page, the title will change to the name of the current category. If the user is not on a category page, the title will be “Product Filter” (or empty, just change it in the code).

Solution: We will use hook widget_title filter, which allows us to modify the widget title before displaying it. Depending on the condition, we will change the title to the desired value.

add_filter('widget_title', function ($title, $instance, $id_base) {
    if (strpos($title, 'cat_label_to_redraw') !== false) {
        if (is_product_category()) {
            $current_category = get_queried_object();
            $title = esc_html($current_category->name);
        } else {
            $title = 'Product Filter';
        }
    }

    return $title;
}
, 10, 3);

This approach allows you to flexibly adapt the widget title depending on the context, improving the user experience on your site. If you have any questions or need additional help, let me know!

Hey,

I added the code but nothing changed, still if i open the category by link, it will show unchecked checkboxes and category dropdowns are closed.

Hello Fredi @fredointhecut

Please try in file – \woocommerce-products-filter\js\front.js – add this code – https://share.pluginus.net/image/i20240823114202.png

return false;

Clear all cache and Ctrl+F5 and do a test

Hey,

Yes, now it works perfectly when i choose the category from menu, but when im in shop page after getting category from menu or want to check another checkbox without using menu category links, it will not load the content, the “Loading” will be there forever, but if i refresh the page then it will load the checked category.

Hello Fredi

Describe in more detail what I should do to get the error.

I’m doing a test on your site and I don’t see any errors.

Hey,

So, when i open for example – https://epood2.surgitech.ee/shop/swoof/product_cat-glukomeetrid/
and i check one more subcategory like the next “Glükomeetrite testribad (3)” then the “Loading…” box comes in the center of the screen, and it will not go away AND it will not load the category. If i manually refresh the page, then it dissapears and the category is loaded. BUT the interesting part is, from my clients computer, it works like a charm but in mine, id doesnt. Cleared caches, tried different browsers, tried incognito mode, tried with my phone, tried with my gaming PC, nothing works in my end, but when i made Teams call just now, i saw how it worked fine for them. Don’t know why it’s not working on my devices?

Fredi

Hello Fredi

Looks like you disabled the plugin and I can’t check it

It might have been related to JS optimization. try to disable this especially lazy loading js
