Hi there - Our website uses Woocommerce 3.7, Theme X version 6.5. Cornerstone 4 and we have a custom child theme.
For product categories we want to add a field after the products/subcategories are listed. See image with area circled in red.
This field would allow us to enter text/html to further enhance the product category “pages”. For example, inserting technical information, instructions, video, etc…
I have done this with other Woocommerce sites I manage. But these sites do not use Theme X/Cornerstone.
I attempted to add the extra category field by using the Custom Field plugin which we already had installed. Specifically.
- Visited the Custom Field Plugin
- Added a Group Field with the following specifications
Field Label - Category Field
Field Name - category_field
Field Type - Wysiwyg Editor
Instructions - Enter HTML
Required - No
Default Value -
Tabs - Visual & Text
Toolbar - Full
Show Media Upload Buttons - Yes
Delay initialization? - No
Conditional Logic - No
Wrapper Attributes
Location
Rules -
Show this field group - Taxonomy - is equal to - Category (product_cat)
Settings
Active - Yes
Style - Seamless (no metabox)
Position - Normal (after content)
Label placement - Top aligned
Instruction placement - Below labels
Order No. 0
Decription
Hide on screen - all unchecked
I then went to a category in the admin, found the new field box and entered some random sentences. Updated and visited the category. The random sentences did not appear. I revisited the field in the Custom field plugin and changed the Field Type to Text area. Save and revisited the product category and the random sentences still did not appear. I also switched to the parent theme which would be Theme X. But that didnt allow the random sentences to appear on the product category either.
I realize this is customization, but would be interested in any insights you could share.
PS: Within a few days we are updating to the latest versions of Woo/ThemeX/Cornerstone, but I don’t think that will make a difference.
Thanks
Tim
