Sort products by 2 categories on sidebar

Hello @kirits!

For the sidebar, there are widgets that allow displaying the sorted product list based on a single category.

For displaying sorted product list for multiple categories, you can use the Shortcode widget.

WooCommerce supports several shortcodes that you can use to display filtered products. The shortcodes can be entered via the shortcode widget.

The shortcode to display a sorted product list for two categories would be something like the following:

[products category="hoodies,tshirts" limit="-1" orderby="include" order="DESC"]

Here is the complete guide on using the ‘products’ shortcode: https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/#products

Products code in the shortcode widget for the sidebar can be created as follows: https://d.pr/i/W8F1Yf

Additionally, you can change the display style of the content generated by this widget by using custom CSS (from the ‘Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS’ section).

Best!

Hi,
Thank you for information. Sorry, I am not very good with such information. Will this help me to add to sidebar two groups of categories? For exanmple:

SEASON:
– Summer
– Autumn
– Winter
– Spring
CLOTHES:
– Skirt
– Coat
– Pens
– Dress

And customer can checkbox one category of each group? Only on woocommerce sidebar. Can I separate these categories product page?

Thanks,
Kristaps

Hello @kirits!

To ensure that we are on the same page, it is better that you share with us an example of what exactly you want to display in your sidebar; like a URL of any webpage that already displays the sidebar data the way you want.

The shortcode that I previously provided will create a product list in the sidebar as follows:
1. https://d.pr/i/GN75iT
2. https://d.pr/i/7EQbLk

This auto-generated list is a general product listing that includes the products under the specified categories (including the products in their subcategories).

Best!

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me. Here is example:

https://www.skipperspetproducts.com/collections/dog-treats-products?constraint=salmon+white-fish+small

Look at the left sidebar. They can sort products in same time by flavor categories and dog size categories. I am looking for this kind of sorting.

Kristaps

Hey @kirits!

I checked the website URL that you provided; they have displayed the product categories in the left sidebar along with the other product attributes. Their end-users can choose one or more attributes, and accordingly the results of the main product list change.

Similar functionality can be achieved using WooCommerce Product Search extension.

As an example, please check this screenshot of the implementation: https://d.pr/i/gubrCe

In this example, I have made my product list filterable according to the “Color”, “Price”, and “Category” attributes of the products. End-user can select multiple filter options, and accordingly, the product list will adjust to meet the filter criteria.

You can read more about the extension’s features here: https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-product-search/

This is a paid WooCommerce extension; if you buy it; you’ll become eligible for Woo Premium support. You can get in touch with the Woo support team to set it up for your site.
