    Hi there,

    I have run into a problem when integrating the ajax load more shortcode into my category page template for woocommerce. I have implemented it fine for the shop front (archive-product.php) when displaying all products, however when I choose a product category (which i’ve defined to cat-archive-product.php) from my menu, the catgeory displays all my products instead of refining the results. I tried something like this but didn’t seem to get anywhere with it:

    <?php
$cat = get_category( get_query_var( 'product_cat' ) );
$category = $cat->slug;
echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more post_type="product" category="'.$category.'"]');
?>

    Any help would be much appreciated. Also, Im working locally so nothing to show you, sorry.

    Woocommerce likely uses Custom Taxonomies not Categories.

    So you would need to query by Taxonomy.

    [ajax_load_more post_type="product" taxonomy="product_tag" taxonomy_terms="product_slug" taxonomy_operator="IN"]

    Let me know if this help.

    Much appreciated! Thankyou! ??

    Found an easier solution to output the taxonomy than my previous code by using the global ‘get_term’ by slug:

    <?php
$term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) );
?>

    I then outputted the shortcode: 

    <?php
echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more post_type="product" taxonomy="product_cat" taxonomy_terms="'. $term->slug . '"]');
?>

    Aye got it working! ?? thanks!

    Hi Sharpe,

    looks like you accomplished what i am trying to accomplish. However I clearly lack your skill ??

    Did you add all to the woocommerce template files in your child-theme?
    Could you let me know where to put what?

    Thank you for you help!
