I want to add a sidebar with a menu (listing the categorys) on the category page on Woocommerce.

Is this possible?

Hi there,

To assign sidebar to archive pages, select taxonomies under Appearance -> Sidebar.

Hope it helps.

Hey Christopher,

I thought it was that easy, and I’ve already done that.

But it’s not showing up 🙁

Hi,

To add sidebar, kindly add the code below in your child theme’s functions.php {wp-content/themes/x-child/functions.php}

function x_get_content_layout() {

    $content_layout = x_get_option( 'x_layout_content' );

    if ( $content_layout != 'full-width' ) {
      if ( is_home() ) {
        $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_blog_layout' );
        $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
      } elseif ( is_singular( 'post' ) ) {
        $meta   = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_x_post_layout', true );
        $layout = ( $meta == 'on' ) ? 'full-width' : $content_layout;
      } elseif ( x_is_portfolio_item() ) {
        $layout = 'full-width';
      } elseif ( x_is_portfolio() ) {
        $meta   = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_x_portfolio_layout', true );
        $layout = ( $meta == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $meta;
      } elseif ( is_page_template( 'template-layout-content-sidebar.php' ) ) {
        $layout = 'content-sidebar';
      } elseif ( is_page_template( 'template-layout-sidebar-content.php' ) ) {
        $layout = 'sidebar-content';
      } elseif ( is_page_template( 'template-layout-full-width.php' ) ) {
        $layout = 'full-width';
      } elseif ( is_archive() ) {
        if ( x_is_shop() || x_is_product_category() || x_is_product_tag() ) {
          $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_woocommerce_shop_layout_content' );
          $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
        } else {
          $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_archive_layout' );
          $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
        }
      } elseif ( x_is_product() ) {
        $layout = 'full-width';
      } elseif ( x_is_bbpress() ) {
        $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_bbpress_layout_content' );
        $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
      } elseif ( x_is_buddypress() ) {
        $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_buddypress_layout_content' );
        $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
      } elseif ( is_404() ) {
        $layout = 'full-width';
      } else {
        $layout = $content_layout;
      }
    } else {
      $layout = $content_layout;
    }
     if ( x_is_shop() || x_is_product_category() || x_is_product_tag() ) {
         $layout = 'content-sidebar';
     }
    return $layout;

  }

Hope that helps.

Hi Paul,

I have added that code but it is not working still 🙁

[Rad]

Hi there,

Please add the provided code to your child theme’s functions.php and not at style.css

Thanks!

[marcooos]

Yep, thats what I did. My login details are up top, you can log in and see for yourself.

[Paul R]

Hi,

Upon checking, I can see you have added it in style.css and not in functions.php file.

Please see screenshot – http://screencast.com/t/pW1bHPtz

1000 apologies! Its is working now.

BUT now the default sidebar also shows on the shop index page, even though I have “enable sidebar on shop index page” unchecked.

How do I fix this?

[Lely]

Hi There,

If you don’t want the sidebar to show on the shop index page, please check the following part of the code suggested by Paul :

     if ( x_is_shop() || x_is_product_category() || x_is_product_tag() ) {
         $layout = 'content-sidebar';
     }

Update to this:

     if (x_is_product_category() || x_is_product_tag() ) {
         $layout = 'content-sidebar';
     }

Hope this helps.
