"product-categories" Template and Sidebars

    I’m setting up a WooCommerce store for someone, and I’ve run into a small problem. I have created a new sidebar, called “Products Sidebar” and a new template called “Products Template” that uses this side bar.

    I set my “Shop” page to use this template. No problem.

    Then, I click on one of the categories, and notice that the default sidebar is there. Looking at the URL, I noticed that the page has changed to “product-categories”. There is no page created for “product-categories”… So I went digging, and found a call to a “Shop” sidebar in the WooCommerce plugin folder, and there is no “Shop” sidebar.

    /public_html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/global/sidebar.php

    get_sidebar( 'shop' );

    Can someone please help me here? I tried creating a “Shop” sidebar, which did nothing, the default still shows. How do I set the template for “product-categories”? Or, in leu of that, which file do I use for “product-categories” sidebar display, since there’s no template for that?

    So, it appears my product-categories pages are using the default global template. Storefront theme calls a “sidebar-1” in sidebar.php, which is overwriting the default template.

    This is not where I want to call my sidebar, because I still want the default sidebar to appear in the “News” section, which is the blog home.

    I still want these pages to use my template, rather than the default template.

    Nevermind… I was avoiding adding extra plugins, but I just realized WooSidebars was part of the whole deal originally. Disaster averted…
