woocommerce sidebar

Hi,

To clarify: You’re trying to always display the woocommerce sidebar in place of the default sidebar when on woocommerce pages?

If so, that’s basically what your code does. It completely replaces the right-sidebar with your ‘woocommerce_sidebar’ sidebar when you’re on woocommerce pages. is_woocommerce() checks that within the tu_woocommerce_sidebar() function.

Any particular issue you’re having? Let us know.

Yes, because I need a dedicated sidebar for woocommerce.
The issue is the right sidebar (home, pages, posts) is disappeared and the woocommerce sidebar created is working.
I would know how to fix the function or php above to have 2 indipendent right sidebar (native and woocommerce) in generatepress.

Hi there,

Try this:

add_action( 'wp', function() {
    remove_action( 'woocommerce_sidebar', 'generate_construct_sidebars' );

    add_action( 'woocommerce_sidebar', function() {
        get_sidebar( 'woocommerce' );
    } );
} );

That should use your sidebar-woocommerce.php file within WooCommerce templates.

Let us know ??

Hi Tom,
The woo sidebar is registered;
I’ve copied and paste your function;
But the right-sidebar is ‘overwritten’ by woocommerce_sidebar, and disappeared in the widget menu too.
I don’t know, this is the ‘last step’: the sidebar-woocommerce.php code

<?php
if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	exit; // Exit if accessed directly.
}
?>
<div class="inside-right-sidebar">
		<?php
		
		do_action( 'generate_before_right_sidebar_content' );

		if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( 'woocommerce_sidebar' ) ) {
			generate_do_default_sidebar_widgets( 'right-sidebar' );
		}

		do_action( 'generate_after_right_sidebar_content' );
		?>
	</div>
</div>

Can you share the full code you’re using, including the widget area registration?

Don’t kill me, I made a mistake. I didn’t delete a section of the code below (now is commented out to show you)

/*   WRONG PART
add_action('generate_woocommerce_sidebars','generate_construct_sidebars');
function generate_construct_sidebars()
{
	get_sidebar('woocommerce'); 	
}
*/

function arphabet_widgets_init() {
	register_sidebar( array(
		'name'          => 'WooCommerce Sidebar',
		'id'            => 'woocommerce_sidebar',
		'before_widget' => '<div>',
		'after_widget'  => '</div>',
		'before_title'  => '<h4>',
		'after_title'   => '</h4>',
	) );
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'arphabet_widgets_init' );

/* Tom's code */
add_action( 'wp', function() {
    remove_action( 'woocommerce_sidebar', 'generate_construct_sidebars' );

    add_action( 'woocommerce_sidebar', function() {
        get_sidebar( 'woocommerce' );
    } );
} );

Solved.
Many thank’s!

Glad you got it sorted! ??
