Exclude Category

    I have articles I would like to display. Instead of using WP post page format I like to use the format in the Ecommerce listing. So I enter them as a product under a category “articles”. What I would like to do is to exclude the category “articles” from the listing, but still be able to display it with the short code. I have a test site url https://www.leswilkins.com/wptest. You can see the “articles” in the upper left side of the page. If you click on the “products” link, it will take you to the listing, but those articles are included in the listing. I need the ability to take them out. Any Ideas? Thank you in advanced.

    Hi,

    Thanks for using eCommerce Product Catalog!

    You have actually two solutions available:

    1. You can disable product listing in product settings and use a show_products shortcode with category attribute to show your products.

    2. You can use the multiple catalogs extension to completely separate your articles and products both from the admin and the front-end.

    Thank you for the good ideas. I was hoping (and did not specify this in my question and should have) to do something more to this effect:

    (beginning of code building the list)

    if (category != (my article ID) then continue
    else
    fall thru to (ending of code building the list)

    I hope I conveyed my question correctly. I am also looking for the file that does the actual building of the “Product List”. If I could find that, I can at least make a better effort to do some code, I just do not have a starting point locked down yet. I love this plugin and it does 98% of what I needed it to do right out of box.

    As for your suggestion #2, when I went there to do my research, it has a “license” attached to the page. Do I need to sign up for a license to get that plugin?

    Thank you again.

    Craig.

    Please see the product listing template documentation. It will help you to build you customized product listing.

    Yes if you want to get a premium extension you need a license key.
