SPB Shop Products Columns setting not working

[TimbreDesign]

Hi there, I am using the SPB Shop Products element in the page: https://www.warriorsdivine.com/lookbooks

I have set the columns number to 2 but it continues to show as four with col-sm-3 not col-sm-6 as it should.

It seems to me that the columns number might be being overridden by the Theme Options > Shop Options : Product Display Columns.

Is this a bug you’re aware of?

Hi

That page is blank?

Yes, I guess my client messed with the categories yesterday, it is now visible please check again: https://www.warriorsdivine.com/lookbooks

I seem to have sent you the wrong attachment, I have attached the correct one of the element settings.

You’re showing categories instead of products, I think the setting is only for products

Correct, I’m using it for categories, well, it doesn’t state that in the setting, seems like an oversight to not mention that in the setting. Is there a way to override it defaulting to the Shop Options?

I’m looking at content-product_cat.php is that the correct file?

There is a loop:

// Store column count for displaying the grid
if ( empty( $woocommerce_loop[‘columns’] ) ) {
$product_display_columns = $sf_options[‘product_display_columns’];

// COLUMNS GET VARIABLE
if (isset($_GET[‘product_columns’])) {
$product_display_columns = $_GET[‘product_columns’];
}

$woocommerce_loop[‘columns’] = apply_filters( ‘loop_shop_columns’, $product_display_columns );
}

I’ll see if we can add the column option for categories in the next update

That would be good, in the meantime might you be able swing me a stint to get me by, I’m in the middle of a client build and they need this feature.

[Kyle – SUPPORT]

Sure, add this to your custom css:

.list-categories .product-category.col-sm-3 {
  width: 50%;
}

– Kyle

Yeah, been there done that, just flipping col-sm-3 to 50% doesn’t do it as it loads the same sized thumbnail..

I was hoping for a PHP mod.

[Kyle – SUPPORT]

I’m afraid that’s more work than a small customisation, I’ll put it forward to the developer to add in the next update, but it’s not something I can provide right now

– Kyle

[TimbreDesign]

Ok, understood, is there a chance the dev can lead me in the right direction as far as what file(s) and loops to work with?

[Kyle – SUPPORT]

What do you have set as your image sizes in woocommerce?

– Kyle

[Kyle – SUPPORT]

Because that’s the image size it will use

– Kyle

[TimbreDesign]

I recognize that the Woo thumbnail settings are used, which is fine for the shop pages. However this page is to be different than the standard shop pages. I was hoping that changing the column count would allow for use of the original image. Seems I may have to build the page custom for now.

Can I make a suggestion that when the update is made to allow categories that a setting is also made to be able to switch between thumbnail sizes and original image size?

[Kyle – SUPPORT]

I’ll put it forward, however it’s woocommerce that controls the size of images for categories and products. And I’m not sure how much work would be involved to change this
