homepage shows only 3 product categories

Can someone help? Please!!

Try this code in your child theme functions file:

add_filter( ‘storefront_product_categories_args’, ‘w3guy_storefront_product_categories’, 199 );

function w3guy_storefront_product_categories( $args ) {
$args[‘limit’] = 5;
$args[‘columns’] = 5;

return $args;
}

Hi,

Could it be the missing categories have not yet products assigned to them?
In that case they will not show up untill you do?

Please share the url where this is happening if you need more help.
Are you using the homepage control plugin?

LogoLogics thank you for the reply. No that was not the issue. The categories had products. Thank you though, anyway.

Corbett Enders Thank you that did the trick!
Thanks a million!!!

Hi aspaee,

Glad Corbett Enders code worked out for you!

Hi,

I have increased the columns with no bother, but i would like it to display in rows as well as columns.

e.g. i have 8 categories and i would like to display as 2 rows of 4.

Is this possible?

I have thought about hooking in and adding another row but this would require shortcodes and to then order them appropriately and this seems like a long way round.

Kind Regards
Alex

After following the link above it was clear that the way i was doing it was not working and the solution was to use decent code. Thank you to Corbett Enders and W3Guy.

I have used the code in my storefront childtheme but it seems not to be working.

add_filter( ‘storefront_product_categories_args’, ‘w3guy_storefront_product_categories’, 199 );

function w3guy_storefront_product_categories( $args ) {
$args[‘limit’] = 5;
$args[‘columns’] = 5;

return $args;
}

I used the code above.
I am currently using a blank storefront childtheme, is there anyway I can make it work?

Hey @bosunjohnson

try this:

add_filter('storefront_product_categories_shortcode_args','custom_storefront_category_per_page' );

// Category Products
function custom_storefront_category_per_page( $args ) {
	$args['limit'] = 10;
	return $args;
}

Thanks

Hi @cryptex_vinci
No luck yet. Still the same three categories. By the way I am using a blank child theme from https://github.com/stuartduff/storefront-child-theme

Thank you.

Hey @bosunjohnson)

My bad. It would be

add_filter('storefront_product_categories_shortcode_args','custom_storefront_category_per_page' );

// Category Products
function custom_storefront_category_per_page( $args ) {
	$args['number'] = 10;
	return $args;
}

Thanks

Hi @cryptex_vinci
Still not working.
Thanks for the help.

Hi

Seems to be working fine from my end. Can you please activate the parent theme and let me know if the issue is still there.

Thanks

Unfortunately, I have activated the parent theme but its still the same problem.
the categories are still three and I cannot modify it.
