  We have created a site using the Neighborhood theme + child theme for customization. Product Category and Tag catalog pages work correctly:

  http://hookandloom.com/product-category/flat-weave/
  (using the neighborhood/woocommerce/taxonomy-product_cat.php template)

  http://hookandloom.com/product-tag/blue-and-white-natural/
  (using the neighborhood/woocommerce/taxonomy-product_tag.php template)

  But the catalog pages by product attribute display differently:

  http://hookandloom.com/dimensions/2×9/
  (using the neighborhood/archive.php template)

  I followed the instructions here:

  http://docs.woothemes.com/document/using-custom-attributes-in-menus/

  …to register the dimensions product attribute for menus. That worked.

  But the instructions for creating a template did not work. I copied the neighborhood/woocommerce/taxonomy-product_cat.php template, renamed it taxonomy-pa_dimensions.php, moved it to the child theme, and it was used, but all woocommerce styling was lost. I presume this is because the original template references the archive-product.php template, but the copy of the template in the child theme couldn’t find that template…?

  Help! My ultimate goal is that the catalog page of products by attribute (dimensions) should be displayed exactly like the catalog pages of products by category or tag.

  Hi, I’m afraid we cannot be of help if you need dedicated webdevelopment help on a custom project within the theme, sorry!
  I’d advise from reading through your comment to copy the referenced file to your child theme as well tho, in your case archive-product.php it seems. Make sure to have the same folder structure as the parent theme has.

  Hi ksprague,

  Did you ever find a fix for this? I’m trying to do the same thing but all styling is lost when I filter by an attribute.

  Thanks,
  Ed

  Ed – nope, I never did figure this out. And their decision to have those product archive pages display differently baffles me.

  Hey guys,

  This isn’t a decision we’ve made. The fact that product attributes use archive.php means that we can’t set a file for them to be displayed differently.

  I’ve googled around for this but not found a solution as of yet, but will keep looking!
