How to: Working with Categories and Subcategories?

[Ultraschall2d]

Hi, how does Categories and Subcategories work in the theme sidebar? Is there no styling for the second level?
We need the following (Example):

Footwear
– Shoes
– Sneaker
T-Shirts
– Logo
– Print

All this examples will show on the same level like:

Footwear
Shoes
Sneaker
T-Shirts
Logo
Print

Hi, i think the problem is that the theme/css does not show the menu hierarchy in the left sidebar. can anyone help please?

[catseye]

Yeah, that doesn’t work for me either.

Seriously, so many little things wrong with this theme.

[Ultraschall2d]

@catseye: a lot hours of searching and fixing.

Another bug attached. Please help.

Ed?

Hey guys,

Unfortunately the standard WooCommerce widget doesn’t support layered navigation as standard, you’d need to look for a third party plugin for that kind of functionality.

@cateseye – please let us know what things are wrong with the theme.

Ed, this is not a Layered Navigation. This is the normal woocommerce category Widget. The theme/css does not Format the menu hierarchy in the left sidebar. ( category, subcategory, subsubcategory). The css for the Second and third level is missing (paddings left)!

[Ultraschall2d]

Do you have the css for this please?

Any Solution?

Yes this indeed is an issue and one that should be default functionality and fixed, you do not need a 3rd party plugin for sub categories (this is an excuse)

The first thing that needs to be fixed is to show sub categories when the main category is clicked.

The second thing that needs to be fixed is the padding left issue

And finally the product count is not styled correctly and not in the correct location

I can fix this myself but i should not have to spend that time fixing it.

The developer has been helpful to me so far and fixed a couple of issues but this is just another example of a theme that has not been tested thoroughly and released with problems.

I hope support resolve this issue a.s.a.p or at least tell us what css needs to change and we can do it ourself.

Thanks.

Hello,

After some research i have found a good solution to this problem, by no means a fix, but a wordaround till the author of this theme adds proper functionality.

Install this plugin: WooCommerce Tweaker (http://pavelburov.com/)

Not only will it allow you the ability of Collaping Categories but it has Catalog mode as well as a host of other WooCommerce Tweaks im sure you may find value in.

Secondly, make sure you have the latest version of the theme installed currently 1.31 and make sure your Product Categories Widget has HIERARCHY TICKED.

Good luck!

My last request is how to put the PRODUCT COUNT on the same line as the Product Category Name, i cannot figure this one out ?

Thanks.

If you show us your website we can possibly give you custom css for that.
