Displaying Product in a main category page

  • Hi All

    Im new to wordpress and WooCommerce however in the past i have been using Adobe Dreamweaver so am familiar with web design.

    My issue i think must be a really easy one to solve however i have failed to find a solution.

    The website is based on a single template for the home page which then links through into a Woocommerce template. So the structure is home page clicks through to top level category of woocomerce that then clicks though into another sub-category page which then goes into product info page.

    My issue is not all my products need a sub category, at the moment i thought i could just click the box in the product page to allow the product to show where i like it however this doen’t seem to work like this, i select the parent page that i want this to link to however nothing appears on the page i have to add another level(sub category) to get this one product to show which makes for unnecessary navigating for the viewer.

    Any Help would be appreciated.

  • If you have a small number of products you can choose to show them all on the Shop page. Go to Admin page > WooCommerce > Settings > Products tab > Display sub-page > Shop Page Display = “Show Products”. If that’s not quite what you want, try the “Show both” setting.

    Unfortunately the products i deal with have to be segregated using sub categories. But on this particular occasion the products im trying to put on falls under the parent category but i don’t want to put an extra child level in when its not necessary.

    But thanks for the response

    Did you try the “Show both” setting for the Shop page. I think that shows both any products in the category and any sub-categories.

    Forgive i might not have explained properly im new at this:

    I have a child category which has 2 links on that goes to further child categories which then branch out in to individual product.

    Also on this page i want to be able to put a link/button direct to a different product but does not require the child categories like the other two buttons.

    If i click “display both” then it brings not only the products that i want to appear on this page but everything in the child categories i have already created.

    So the end result i am looking for is a 2 buttons that go to further child categories and 2 buttons that go direct into product pages.

    Hope this helps clearing up my poor explanation

    Got it. I’ve seen this problem before described as “How to hide subcategory products from main category”. After some experimentation I came to the conclusion this was not possible in settings. However, pelgrimrat found a function for the task. The code goes in functions.php for your child theme. See:

    Awesome!! works perfectly

    Why doesn’t wooCommerce add this script as a standard?? its not logical to leave something so simple and useful out

    Thank you very much for your help
