Category pages are empty

[Warul Kawa]

Hello!
As per title, I'm filling a menu with the product categories, but they appear empty.

https://vivaiocosmico.it/product-category/vitelli-maglieria/tops/

Any idea about what my mistake might be?

Dear @Warul-Kawa

Yes, they do appear empty
It could be this hasn't been implemented into Lay Theme yet.

Will forward to Armin to confirm ✅

You could use "projects - categories" as a work around:

oh, you'll need to create a page in "pages" and then add the category thumbnail grid!

the default woocommerce category pages dont really show anything. thats maybe something i should change, but i thought it would be better to have a gridder element as it is supposed to be used for now.

[Warul Kawa]

@arminunruh Thanks!
Is there any way to place these pages after a shop/ subdirectory?

[arminunruh]

mmmh i dont think so

[arminunruh]

i'll work on making woocommerce category and tag archives display their respective products now. there's going to be just a standard grid!

Hey

I have the same issue, category's page is empty. And I add some taxonomy with CPT UI. Any idea how I could display all products with the same category/taxonomy on a their category/taxonomy page?

Thx

[arminunruh]

can you edit the category page using the gridder?

[SonicMishima]

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply.

These taxonomies are actually related to woocommere's products, so there's no gridder for product.

[arminunruh]

product category pages do show the products now.

does everything work for you? what would you like to achieve?

[SonicMishima]

Well I actually have these taxonomy (that are not basic categories but custom taxonomies)

And I'd like to display them on the single product page like:
Artist(s): Jonny Rock
Label: Dispute Records
Style(s): House Leftfield Rock

I actually managed to dot it with WP basic theme, but not with Lay's one. It looks like Lay's template does'nt display porduct's meta.

And then the idea is a click on one of these terms (ex Jonny Rock) open a new page with all products having Jonny Rck as artist.

I'm sorry if I'm not clear enough

[SonicMishima]

So I managed to display the meta by removing this function in woocommerce_integration/woocommerce.php:
remove_action('woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_meta', 40);

I can now click on any taxonomies's terms, but I have a blank page then

[arminunruh]

can you send your website address, /wp-admin/ username and password and a link to this topic to info@laytheme.com?

can you also send the empty pages to me?

[SonicMishima]

I sent an email to this address, I hope it won't fall in your spam with all the links it had...

Thanks for your help ;)

[arminunruh]

thanks!
i got the email, i will work on it!

[SonicMishima]

I actually managed to create an archive by creating a taxonomy-artist.php (for example) where I copy/paste the code of taxonomy-product-cat.php, and replace this line

'category' => array

by this

'artist' => array

But instead of displaying all products with the same taxonomy's term, there are all the products

[arminunruh]

oh

this is still on my todolist will work on it

sorry lots of work at the moment thanks for your patience
