WooCommerce 3.3 Shop Display Options Missing

    Hello Guys,

    I’ve read that people are having problems on the shop page with the new Woocommerce 3.3 update especially if you have you shop page settings display by category.

    The thing is:
    I have two Woocommerce sites that I haven’t updated because of this issue and I’m working on a new Woocommerce site that I would love to have this option available to display only categories of products and not all products on my shop page.

    So my problems are:
    For security reasons (obviously), I need to update my old pages and keep the display by category settings.

    Like most online stores, I need my new website to display products by category on the shop page because I will have too many products in it.

    My question is:
    Do you guys have a snippet or a way to display products by category on the shop page? if so, can you provide us with it?

    Or if this was done as a marketing strategy (no harm, you guys have to make money to keep supporting the platform), can you provide me with a link to the extension that ads this option?

    Thanks in advance and great job with your plugin!

    Found part of the solution and I feel kind of dumb.

    To change this setting now in the front end you have to go to customize>WooCommerce>Product Catalog and you can customize the store display from there.

    Although I would like it better if someone had a snippet that I could use on any page template to call the category loop, this still works fine.

    Hope this helps anyone with the same problem.

    My categories disappeared from my shop page as well after the latest WooComerce update. I did see the message in hte Dashboard that this setting is now handled in the customizer. It was already set to “Display Categories” so I toggled it to “Display Categories and Products” which does work, then I tried to toggle back to “Display Categories” but it still won’t work. In fact the page displays a message that says “”. I tried changing image on each Category and updating them but that did not work either. Any suggestions?

    hmmm… Well I have a fresh install so that’s probably why I’m not getting that problem.

    I saw a little of your source code and it seems like you’re using the storefront theme from woocommerce right? If you are, you would need to update the theme (if there’s an update available).

    If you’re using a custom made theme, than you would probably have a custom archive-product.php that may be overwriting the new woocommerce files. If that’s the case, you would need to update your old files with the new ones in the pluging>woocommerce>theme directory.

    I’m just guessing here. To correctly diagnose your problem, you need someone to take a good look at your files.

    Solution on first reply ??

    I have problem with this option.
    If you want to have list of categorys AND featured items under that list on shop page.
    You have list of categorys by default if you choose to show categorys.

    Then I use shortcode [products limit=’4′ columns=’2′] in function.php

    function featured_items() {
 if (is_shop()) {
  echo "woocommerce module ===========>";
  echo do_shortcode("[products limit='4' columns='2']"); }}
add_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop', 'featured_items', 10);

    But this short code on shop page show content depending of
    Customizing ? WooCommerce Product Catalog ? Shop page display >
    show products categorys will make it show categorys while products must be called.
    Also no reaction on columns=’2′

    May sound silly but how do I go to customize>WooCommerce>Product Catalog. Cant seem to find that option.

    @dheeraj-singh
    Dashboard > Appearance > Customize > WooCommerce > Product Catalog
    for WooCommerce 3.3.0 onwards.

    feel depressed

    @mrhoglab Thanks for the post. I searched but didn’t find the product display sorting options anywhere either until I saw this. Very odd.

    Cant seem to get this working. When I select to display categories or products & categories categories just dont appear, only products do on the shop homepage.

    Not sure if the option under Customize>WooCommerce>Product Catalog is even doing anything to be honest. Appears to be a bug in latest version of woo. This is a fresh install of latest WP version (4.9.6) and latest woo version (3.4.3).

    Hi, I have the same problem, I am going crazy

    I see correctly the categories with the feature image but when i click the category i display a page like a post and i cannot see my products.

    Category display -> Show products under woocommerce in customize, did not work, please help me

    See the link and click a categoriy, do not display correctly the product:

    @alexdex
    Your category links work fine for me and show the products in the category, so it looks like you fixed this. If you still have the problem, clear your browser’s cache.

    @lorro

    Now is working, i fixed a couple of hours ago, it was my template that is based on genesis and did not was optimize correctly for woocommerce.

    Thanks

    Thank you . the Solution is on first reply. ??
