Moving featured image and archive description in woocommerce

Hi there!

You can override and/or modify WooCommerce’s built in templates for this. There is a caveat – your theme might already be overriding the template, in which case you might also need a child theme to override that in way that won’t get erased, should you update your current theme in future.

This doc explains the WooCommerce template structure and where to copy the defaults in order to override them:
https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/template-structure/

Here is one of the pages that governs what category pages look like:
https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/4.2.0/templates/archive-product.php

If you move your category image and description code to below get_header( ‘shop’ ) and above do_action( ‘woocommerce_before_main_content’ );, or hook what you’ve got to the action above prior to woocommerce_output_content_wrapper, it should appear above both the main content and the sidebar. I tested this in Storefront to verify, but could be different in yours.

Hey there, since we haven’t heard back from you in awhile I’ll mark this thread as resolved now. If you have any further questions, I recommend creating a new thread.

No, please don’t. A week is not a while. And creating a new thread is just going to add to the mess.

I’ll try this shortly – I’m using a plumbing theme. I just want to move the category image so it’s the main image with description under that if present.

THankyou for the response @eastofwest btw ?? I suspect it’s a hook which I haven’t found yet.

It appears to be around this woocommerce_before_main_content

I figured it out. The hooks did not work, so I located the section within the actual header file and referered to the category page in the php conditions.

Please feel free to delete this thread now resolved, rather than close, as it won’t be of any help to others. Thankyou for your time both ??
